Today's rushed shave:

Razor: Gillette Adjustable DE '67
Blade: Shark Super Chrome
Lather: Edge gel foam
Prep: Hot shower

As cheap a shave as I have had in over a year!! Good thing I have a bunch of Shark blades that I love! I shaved pretty late in the day yesterday and kind of had to do a 'reset' and I didn't want to not shave, so I shaved early so I could shave like regular tomorrow. It was an ok shave. Got bit in a couple of places, I'm not used to using a DE anymore, maybe I had the adjustable up to high (I used to use it around 4, but maybe that is too aggressive for me). I'm kind of out of practice with the DE's and it was like learning the angles all over again!

Have a great Monday gents!

Cool razor, Mikael. Do you know if these were made in a French or Spanish toe? I think one of these with a French toe would be really nice...
Snow! Shouldn't you be coming in to Spring?

Nice scales! How are they joined at the non pivot end? Or are they a single piece of wood? I'm not sure I've ever seen scales of a single piece of wood...

Prep: Castle Forbes pre shave
Strop: Dovo Russian 2"
Brush: Simpson Polo 10
Soap/Cream: C.R. Salter (Indian Sandalwood)
Razor: Robert Williams 8/8"
Aftershave: Pre de Provence



A very wonderful shave today, the Williams has such a nice weighted balance to it. A joy to use.

Have a great week a shaves gentlemen!!!

Cheers Carl! I hope you survived yesterdays b-day party! No, I don't think they did that, top of the line blade though and in my mind the peek of Solingen razors (together with a couple of other brands).

Yes, we really should have spring by now and we had it a couple of days ago . Yesterday you couldn't see these guys, but today the sun's working wonders and it looks like this in our backyard now (all the snow was gone three to four weeks ago and I thought it was over for this time, but now we have lots of snow behind our house again ):
