    SOTD
    Pre-shave: Castle Forbes
    Soap: MWF
    Brush: Semogue 830
    Razor: Najeeb Malluk & Co. 6/8 1/2 Hollow 'America My Home'
    Balm: Skincado Combat Ready Balm


    -I was inspired to finally get the Najeeb razor in shape. I purchased it at an antique store about a month ago. I actually did not make new scales for it. I unpinned another razor with some scales I already made. I used some nuts and bolts I found at a Radio Shack instead of brass pins. With a little bit of a tweak I have scales that can take different razors. Anyway, the razor performed well. Better than I expected. The 1/2 hollow seems to suit my hair and face fine. Everything else made the shave that much better. Gotta love the Fat and the Castle Forbes pre shave. Though I still think the pre shave smells like a beaver's wet behind. I nicked myself a few times. I think was rushing a little bit. Besides this the shave was silk. Thanks all and have a good week.-

    Thank you, it was prob one of my best Ebay finds (didn't hurt it came w/ a DD lifetime ). My cousin who is a wood worker by trade said the box is likely from the mid to late 1800's.

    I recently refreshed this blade for the first time since Glen restored it for me. It held the edge well before, and was smooth as silk today. It took one pass to a near BBS. I think this is the only sheffield steel that I personally own, but I like the way it fits my face. What a way to start the day with an Arlington trifecta!

    Default Another test shave

    Razors: 5/8 EM Christensen Co. & 4/8 Bengal
    Prep: Bald Frog Eucalyptus Balm
    Brush: Whipped Dog black badger
    Soap: CO Bigelow shave cream
    A/S: witch hazel, Joop
    Result: BBS

    This is the last shave for me for these guys, as they're going to a new home today. I got a great shave from the Christensen, and the Bengal isn't in bad shape, either.

    Hmmm, it occurs to me that this is my first birthday shave.

    Travelling with Dylan and Willie Nelson... They are just lucky the cops didn't want to look around while he got his ID. That could have been one of the largest marijuana busts in NJ history!
