Today was Vetiver day for me. As many already know it's my most preferred and loved scent in the whole world. Alraz's vetiver is a double potency version which is truly a masterpiece. Combined with the vintage Carven vetiver products it all just blends together in perfect harmony. The Carven EDT is not very long lived on my skin but the first hour is just addicting. Love that stuff. As does the wife and beloved dog. Oh, and the razor. That's just a masterpiece with gorgeous MOP/Abalone scales.

Have a great week Gents!

I put the unidentified Sheffield Wedge up against 5 days worth of beard growth, and its performance was outstanding.
The first pass didn't leave much behind, but I went for the full 3 passes and achieved a beautiful BBS.
A fantastic relaxing Sunday night shave.

Have a great week gentlemen, and thanks for the great posts and pics

An extremely smooth shave from this razor, a 0ne pass shave with minor clean up.

Good morning friends.

Today a small Fili

Yes, Tom, small Filly, but the brush's even smaller.

Brush: Barbers vintage handle w New Forest silvertip knot
Razor: J A Hellberg no 14, w 1/4 grind
Super: Nannys Cistrus Zinger + Proraso original
AS: Proraso
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
Sweet blade this one, all wedgy razors feels a little different and this one's more like Sheffield wedge than a Swedish ditto. Very nice shave!


... and some:

Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Omega boar
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Scuttle: Robert Becker extra large
Razor: Wade & Butcher, 5/8 hollow, spike point, in cocobolo scales
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: Leather Chypre home made splash
Notes: Wonderful 2-pass BBS, smooth as can be. The splash is new, first time using it and I'm thrilled; oakmoss and labdanum base, with sandalwood and pathouli adding richness, a musky leather coming through, and a bergamot/citrus top. Good fun! Have a brilliant sunday gentlemen.
