Toyo Spezial | Semogue 2010 LE | MWF + GFT Lime Über | Nivea Replenishing
Another incredible shave. This razor is such a dream, and the MWF/GFT lather was as rich and luxurious as they come. To really make the über that much more übery, the lime scent was giving me a fresh clean feeling that worked so well!

Friday
Prep: Hot Shower/ Proraso pre-post creme
Scuttle: G5
Brush: Thater 4125-2
Soap: L'Occitane CADE
Razor: Wade & Butcher 13/16"
Post: Proraso AS/ CADE Balm
Result: Yet another blade fresh off the 12k Naniwa. The first stroke of the shave, I knew this was going for the books! Felt like you were taking a wash cloth and just wiping the lather off your face. Yup, that smooth! The CADE line up had me smelling good, the weather is warm again, and I walk out the door to greet the day feeling like a king!
Have a Great Friday Gents!

Prep: An inadequate night's sleep and a ridiculously hot shower
Razor: C.V. Heljestrand Mk4
Brush: VDH Boar
Soap: TSD Iced Sub-Zero
AS: Aqua Velva Classic
Finish: La Toja Manantiales EdC
After a couple days of satisfactory but just not very remarkable shaves, the Heljy was the perfect call to snap me out of my stupor. This razor just never seems to fail at delivering absolutely amazing shaves.

Well the first shave with the Fon Golden Star razor since i honed and stropped the razor, she delivered a flawless one pass shave with minor touch up, I would like to say thanks to Rene for pointing me in the right direction, making it possible for me to buy this beautiful razor.

Razor – Geneva Henry's X 9/16
Brush – Omega... really should find out what model I have.
Soap – T&F Lime
AS – Ogalalla Bay Rum
The Geneva is a find off of Razor Emporium that I've become quite entusiastic over. Bone scales, some pitting, including some quite close to the edge, but overall isn't in bad shape. First honing as well, and it's performed admirably, with nary a case of even the mildest razor burn or AS face-fire since it made the line-up. Makes me look forward to more "restorations razors".
Sadly, T&H's Lime is not my particular brand of vodka. Sure, it lathers with typical T&H aplomb, but the scent struck me as the plastic wrapper of a piece of sour lime candy. Couldn't finish it off fast enough.
As always, YMMV, but I won't be your competition for this one should there be a global shortage.
