Judging by the hair on my face its been at least 4-5 days since my last shave.
I chose the reliable W&B to deal with the situation, and as always the shave was awesome.
3 passes for a great Sunday night BBS.



Its been a fun weekend. Saturday night was spent working on my first custom razors.
Lots of fun...

Thanks for the great posts and pics fellas, enjoy the week

Strop: Lipshaw
Brush: Vilfix Super Badger
Soap/Cream: G.F.T. (Rose)

Note: I had a lackluster shave with the T.I. last week so I ran it thru some stones and it performed like a champ.
I keep trying to like the Musgo aftershave, but its just to sticky & oily feel to ever get to like. Guess another one hits the scrap heap.

Have a wonderful Day gentlemen!!!

Oh wow! You make me feel like a silly girl. I've got no idea what's going on in the photos there. Is that a hairdryer attached to a piece of pipe or something? How'd the razors made from chisels go? You seem to be very adept.
