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
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!


... and a shot of:

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.

Thank you
Yes, it's beer steins from my brother collection, I think now he have more then a hundred



This one with horse one of my favorite



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.
