Sadly, I must admit to having spent a few minutes debating whether to call it hardware or software. Utlimately, I prefer to think of women as being the "softer" sex... But either way can work!

5/8" W.H. Morely & Sons Clover Brand
C&E Nomad Shave Cream & ASB on my Whippeddog Silvertip
Not a bad shave today. I'm definitely getting better at stropping and my shaves are much more confident with the straight. I did give myself a good cut on my upper lip. It was weird, it was my last stroke to clean up my upper lip and the razor just bit me. I suppose I applied pressure. Oh well other than a few battle scars it was my best shave yet with my Clover.

Out of all the razors i own the Fon Golden Star would have to be my favourite, not only as a shaver, but the quality and finish are without equal, i always love looking at this razor no matter how many times i see it.

Fantastic shave and the first one at home in several weeks, it's nice to shave in the country side, but there's no place like your home zink place Our little fur/odd ball came back, after three nights in the wild (she has only been away one night before and only once) and she's now a very pleased cat

Prep: Hot Water Wash
Razor: J Wiss and Sons Cosmo
Brush: VDH Boar
Soap: Arko Shavestick
AS: Skin Bracer
Finish: Pinaud Lime Sec
Results: Great! Single pass and a bit of touch up and I was good to go. No shave yesterday so I had plenty to cut too. Is it just me or does skipping a day a make for a better shave?
