What a Great start to the week!

Have a Great Monday Gents!

Thanks for all the pics! Lotta Maxtoms and they are purty!

It has been quite a while...

Today the 8 day beard had to go so out came the ERN 1166 Crown and Sword and off went the beard in a easy two passes



Have a great week!

No pic today as I only managed a partial shave. Today was tghe first styptic worthy cut I've had in a long time. I was trimming around the handlebar and managed to dig the point of my Engels Special into my cheek. Stopped the bleeding and even forgot that I cut myself; that is until I applied the Clubman.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: New Forest 2201 knot in vintage barbers handle
Razor: Feather SS
Soap and AS: Tabac
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
Nice shave, even though done in a hurry, I like the SS more than my folding RG, I think (SS's more nifty and just seems to work better for me).

I received this razor a few weeks ago from Robert Williams. I had started to hone it but wanted to take my time and get it right. Tonight I finished the razor and took it for a drive. It was honed on Chosera 1K, 3K,5K,8K,12K, .25 Diamond spray, .50 Crox and then stropped on SRDP1 Felt and leather.
It is a big, heavy blade and I am happy to say shaves very well. I guess I must have gotten the bevel correctly set because it just glided over the whiskers. The Acca Kappa shave cream was nice and thick and gave a great cushion for this shave. I have to be honest that I am not sure if the razor is a wedge, 1/4 or half hollow. What do you think?

Jeff, looks more like a near wedge to me. Definitely not half hollow!
