Moonbeam, I'm a bit disappointed. Did they not have a bigger bottle of Lavanda? It looks like you bought a small one...

Strop: MickR's Roo Hide
Brush: TGA Premium Silvertip Badger in Cocobolo
Soap: Tabac
Razor: Simmon's Barber's Pet 5/8
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel
Balm: Nivea Replenishing
A/S: Wahl Bay Rum
It's been months since I pulled out the Barber's Pet.
I bought this razor way back at the beginning of my shaving career, it is the only shave-ready razor I have ever bought.
I can get a good edge on it, but I have never been able to match the edge Oz put on it before he sent it to me.
Still, a fantastic 3 pass BBS was the result. The slowest and most relaxing shave I've had for a while.

Thanks for all the great posts and pics boys
