Thanks Max, I sure plan to

Yeah, I see no point in spending lots of money on something and don't care for it.

Great photos gents, great shaves - those pics of yours are what's keeping me ticking

Beautiful scenery. Almost makes one take his eyes off the scary face filleting razor.

Prep: Hot shower
SS: Proraso “Sapone Da Barba
Brush: Omega #81569 – Modern Beehive “Two Banded Boar”
Razor: Muhle R41 w/ Astra “Superior Platinum” blade
Toner: Thayers “Original” Witch Hazel w/ Aloe Vera
ASB: Proraso “Creama Dopobarba”
AS: Proraso “Dopobarba”
Result: VERY close, refreshing shave…

Wowzers! Bill and other wet shavers certainly aren’t kidding about the aggressiveness of this DE razor.
The R41 will give you the closest shave possible, short of removing the epidermal layer of the skin on
your face. Shave with care.

Bostwick Braun 1/2 Hollow-DR Harris Marlborough Soap/T&H Grafton Cream-SRP Thater Silvertip-DB Travel Scuttle-Amouage Epic Man EDP
Nice 3 pass shave but slightly "off". Directly after taken to the Naniwa 12K then Shapton 16K.
The lather was fantastic and the DB travel scuttle???? Well I was testing it out and it works well albit small but hey, It's a travel scuttle!!!!
Amouage Epic Man? EPIC!!!!!! Love it.

Sunday
Brush: Vie-Long Horse
Soap/Creme: Razorock XXX
Razor: Schick G type
Blade: Personna PFTE
Pre: 3P
Post: Lilac Vegetal
Hair Groom: Jeris
Result: BBS

Pre: Hot Towel followed by AOS Sandalwood pre shave oil
Brush: Custom by Deighaingeal, Knot by G.N.

Scuttle: Dirty Bird Custom Double
Razor: Wade and Butcher restored/rescaled by Alex Jacques aka Philadelph (notice the double jimps on the tang)
Post: Razorock Alum, rinse followed by Thayer's Witch Hazel, Rose

Notes: This razor was restored and rescaled for me by Alex Jacques long before he started forging his own blades. Alex has a style all his own. Notice the double jimps on the tang on the Wade and Butcher. I don't think I've ever seen one with double jimps before. Alex also did an outstanding job on the scales. I think it's about 5 years old. I just touched it up with my Shoubudani and Nagura progression.

Just a great shave for a Sunday afternoon.
