Prep: Hot shower
Brush: 21 mm silvertip in oak by Henk
Razor: Bartmann
Soap: Dutch moss by Henk
AS: Professor B's Grapewood
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean :D
Love the scent of Henks soap and this 21 mm brush is all you really need, even though I brought out the big 15/16 Bartmann gun to go with it. Nice Wiener Schnabel Carl! :D

Razor: 5/8 John S. Holler
Prep: hot water, Barbasol, AOS unscented pre-shave oil
Brush: van der Hagen (boar)
Soap: AOS unscented shave cream
A/S: AOS after-shave balm, Joop Homme
Result: A great shave
I stopped at the AOS store to check it out yesterday. I grabbed a brush stand while I was there, and the salesman added a free sample to my bag. I was expecting this stuff to be decent, but overpriced. I found it to be very nice, especially the shave cream. It might still be overpriced (hey, it's a retail store compared to online prices), but it's good stuff.

This one with horse one of my favorite

Attachment 96694

It's one part of his collection in our parents home, he have little more in his own apartment.
I think now I will make new compositions when I'll stay and shave in my parents, but it's not often

I like AOS shave creams. I don't think they are overpriced either, no shipping.


Interesting book. If you need any criminal investigative work done I'd be happy to help!!
