Razor – Roger Pradat Thiers
Brush – Simpson Chubby#2
Soap – MWF
AST – ALUM Osma block
AS – HESS Sweet Pea, vintage

Good day gentlemen.
I never met a French razor I did not like. A comfortable shave followed by the HESS Sweet Pea. A vintage AS that got better with age. A subtle floral scent, possibly gardenia. I can’t place it. Stay frosty.
Mike

Prep: Shower
Brush: Hardright Anchorset (re-knot)
Strop: Dovo 1-1/2" Russian
Soap/Cream: C.R.S. (Fresh Mint)
Razor: Custom made from hand file, of my own fabrication.
Aftershave: Floid (sauve)



Notes: Today is the third shave with this new creation of mine and I'm still thunderstruck how much fun it is to use. I smile the whole shave thru.
I'd like to thank Baldy for giving me the idea to try to make a razor from file. Thanks Grant!!!

Plenty of guys have done it before me, but thank you for the honorable mention.
Your way ahead of me, mine are almost ready for heat treat now. Things move very slowly at my place. If mine turn out half as nice as yours I'll be a happy boy.

Good morning gentlemen, today's line-up was as follows:

Strop: TM Latigo
Brush: Martinez Custom Bishop
Cream: Truefitt & Hill 1805
Razor: W & B "The Celebrated"
AS: Domica Bay Rum
Racecar: Francesco Bernoulli-my little boy asked if it could be in the photo, had to say yes.

The shave was great, not to add to the hype of W & B's, but I just had this one restored by Glen and I was laughing through the shave at how smooth it was. Have a great day and week guys.
