Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller Linen/Kanayama Cordovan

Soap: QCS Briar

After shave: Mennen Skin Bracer

Results: My smallest brush and my biggest razor, lovely combination Great shave, but the point on the razor showed why I should take caution of it, three times it wanted to dig into my skin, but I managed to stop it before it drew blood. (I might have been a bit too cocky )

Congrats on the mentorship Carl!

I face lathered again tonight. the MWF seemed to lather better for me this way. The Fromm gave a nice smooth shave.

I bought this one off ebay. It is a Frederick Reynolds and it was pretty rough. Straightened up the edge and polished out the scales.
It is also one of the first razors I've ever honed on synthetic stones. I stacked 4 layers of tape on it and went to town. It got SHARP.
That was several months ago. I shaved with it a couple of times and it was eating me up so I put it aside. Last night I was pretty scruffy and decided to
give it another try. It TOTALLY blew me away!. It just wiped the whiskers off. I guess my technique has improved.
Soap: VDH
Brush: Vintage boar KLEENZO, "sold only at REXALL Stores"
Washed, lathered, and wiped 'em off.

It was a semi-vintage shave today! Just received some things in the mail today, a Donovan Blue Steel straight and this Slim Adjustable with a half used pack of Blue Blades. So I thought I'd try one out. This is my first time shaving with a 50+ year old blade. I have to say that it turned out nicely, not quite BBS, but a great shave nonetheless.
