Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 26mm Saville Row 3326 Silvertip Badger
Razor: 13/16" DOVO "Waffen Schmied", Full hollow ground, Round Point
Honing (Refresh): 5 laps on CrOx leather
Strop: 5/40/75 laps (Torolf Linen / SRD Premium IV English Bridle leather / Ambrose Horsehide Clàsico leather)
Soapreme: Floris "JF" Shave Creme + Floris "JF" Shave Soap + Glycerin
Astringent: Thayer's Original Witch Hazel
After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue AS
Cologne: Raw Vanilla EdT
Results: An early shave (and a late post) but what a fabulous shave to report today . The Floris software is truly top notch and produces some of the finest lathers this side of the Mississippi. The SR brush, despite its (very) slightly floppy backbone is an amazing contender for lather making. Its soft tips are amongst the best of the best. The Dovo took a few laps around the CrOx leather just to refresh the edge (not taking any chances...she's been sitting in the case for some month or so) and today she delivered on the dime. A fabulously close and comfortable shave . I am Catfish Belly Smooth and loving it (so so is the missus)





I am sorta back ...Still buried with lots of projects and prospects of fundraising (both private and federal grants), but my mind (and body) needed a break and what better way to spend a few minutes hanging out with my brothers.

Have a FABULOUS night and rest of the week gentlemen .
