Bill,
Great photographs. I can't pick one, I like them all.
Robert,
I hope you and Liza get well soon. I nursed a cold last week, not fun.

Sunday Night
A thoroughly British line up!
Rolls Razor
Simpson 57
Nanny's Ice & a Slice hard soap
Alum
Pashana Original AS
I bought a couple of Rolls Razors last year and managed to put together 1 good one and some spares. I did hone the best blade on my coticule but alas although I was able to get one of the blades sharp enough to shave it was never as good as a real straight, I put this down to not being able to strop properly. So today I replaced the leather on a strop and put Crox powder on another strop that was just about OK. So I went with the internal hone then moved onto the Crox strop then onto the newly refurbished strop.
I then checked the HHT and it was brilliant. Tonight's shave was excellent, the angle of the handle means that I can do an ATG stroke on the awkward bits of my neck and the safety bar meant that I was happy to do the equivalent of the fools pass.
I never really aim for a BBS but tonight it was so easy and the feedback from the alum and aftershave was negligible. I must bring this into my rotation properly!Regards
Nic

Sunday Afternoon Shave
Hot shower,Stephan's, Warm oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
Razorock Shave Soap
Custom Badger Brush
Henry Sears and Son, 6/8 Near Wedge Barber's Notch,Mokume Gane scales B/W Burl, photo-luminescent Wedge. Restored by Max
Razorock Aluminum
Pinaud Bay Rum
After a nice ride up the Merit, I met with Rene and his children. We had a nice breakfast and a great morning. In case your wondering, I am the old guy in Rene's photo in need of a shave. After the ride home, I took a nice shower and enjoyed a wonderful shave. This is the first time shaving with the Henry Sears. As always, Max put an incredible edge on it which provided a nice smooth shave. The whiskers, even the gray ones, were easily wiped. I did three passes and was given the seal of approval by SWMBO after a BBT.
Enjoy your evening!!

Jamie.
One pass shave with minor touch up, L'Occitane Bavx my all time favourite fragrance, and the Vulfix Persian Musk also my all time favourite smelling shaving cream, if you haven't tried this cream yet, I strongly advise you to give it a go, sublime scent.
