Boy, it's been a long time since I've seen a bottle of Afta. Nice razor, I love the corn cob scales!

Same as usual. Hot shower, Van Der Hagen deluxe soap, 8 drops of glycerin (mmm, lather!), Dovo strop, Thiers Issard from the Art of Shaving. Only difference today was my post-shave: Neutrogena post-shave lotion before splashing on the clubman aftershave.

Shave Test #1
Hey SOTD brothers...so i am trying to get my honing legs if you will and so today i did a first shave test with the two razors i picked for this "Rocky Road to Sharp"
Wasn't the best shave but any shave with a straight you honed yourself in my book is a GOOD SHAVE!
so here goes:
PREP:as always Shower and Proraso
SOAP:MWF....have neglected "the fat" and shouldn't be!
BRUSH:Capshaw Custom Silvertip
SCUTTLE:used the G5 but also did a bunch more face lathering that i normally do....my jury is still out on the face lathering
RAZORS:NEW ENGLAND RAZOR Co. made in BOSTON (maybe) that is a bit over 6/8 Square Point nothing fancy here but a user
the Second was a EDWARD WECK: RIGIDEDGE 5/8 French Point...horn scales that need to be replaced but that will happen soon enough.....why spend time replacing scales if you mess up the edge cause you can't hone!
POST:Tepid Water, Alum, Cold Water, Thayer's, Clubman Splash......and some Woodford Reserve!
MUSIC:Owl City....not my "go to" music but really dig them and they do some cool stuff
All in all it wasn't a bad shave if you read the link theres a bit more about the shave but it could have been A LOT worse!
have a great week guys!!!
