Prep: Hot Shower
Razor: Lecran Cutlery
Brush: Semogue 2000
Soap: L'Occitane en Provence
AS: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Clubman Bay Rum
Finish: Crusellas Kolonia 1800 Sandalwood

Girly French name not withstanding, I reallly, really dig this soap. Smells great produces gobs of thick cushiony slick lather, what's not to like? The Lecran is apparently back in the pink after a touch up hone this weekend and is back to shaving like a champ. No "satisfactory but completely unremarkable" shave here. I'm CBS and had a great time getting there.

Strop: Osgar Vintage Shell Horse
Brush: Franks Fine Badger
Soap: Proraso
Razor: Geo Wostenholm 11/16
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel
Balm: Nivea Replenishing
A/S: David Craig Bay Rum
It's been months since I pulled out this Wosty, so i felt it deserved a run tonight.
I've been feeling a little tense today (Monday-itis I guess) but 2 passes plus a couple of touch-ups left me BBS and much more relaxed.

Thanks for the posts and pics boys

They're both too little yet to run that far (Grandson 7, Grandaughter 3) but once we get in the water the score gets evened up pretty quickly and they can both wear me out in short order. They seem to have unlimited energy as long as they keep moving (not so for us 1962 models). After a day in the pool, they both seem to collapse pretty quickly if you can get them to sit still for 5 minutes.

@JoeSomebody, I would say your grandaughter is a young lady of impeccable taste and judgement.

First shave in three days. Nice three pass shave. I called this razor fred flinstone as when I made the scales I kept thinking of cavemen and gave the Blue G10 a rough look. Dont know why but I made it a long time ago and I still like it. The lather was ok, not great not horrible. Still feel like crap but I'm sick of being sick.
Be good all.

I started the day with a jog, then it was a shower and a shave.
Robert Williams custom in horn was the weapon of choice today.
I have 4 RW's now, and this was my first. It still ranks the highest among them.
A tremendous shaver!
Add to that some L'occitane Cade whipped up with my very favorite brush, the Simpson Polo 12 in two band super, and a superb shave will be the result
It was finished off with some GFT Skin Food and a dash of Cade EdT.

Forgot this one yesterday:

Sunday Afternoon


TI Le Canadien 6/8" Black Horn (Friodur 8/8 backup)
Omega Pro 49
Norton 1k / Crox on Balsa / Iron Ox on Balsa / 'roo strop
RazoRock King Louis Lavender Shave Gel
T&H Luxury Shaving Soap
Trumper's Spanish Leather Splash
Trumper's Fragrance Free Balm


My shave off the 1k was surprisingly comfortable, which is promising as I've had a challenge setting the bevel on the C135 steel razors. Sunday afternoon, I finally hit the sweet spot and was pleasantly surprised. A step forward in my honing, for sure and I didn't even need the Friodur.

Razor: C V Heljestrand (this blade's all you really need, fantastic shaver)
