Le Grelot 6/8 :: Semogue 1800 :: Calani Cadre Noir :: Thayer's WH :: Parfums de Rosine "R0se d'homme"

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 25mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger

Razor: 11/16" F.W. Engels "Perfect Temper", Full Hollow Ground, Square Point

Honing (Refresh): 5 laps on CrOx leather

Strop: 8/30/50 laps (Neil Miller Linen / Imperial Shave Pegasus III Cordovan Latigo / Horsehide leather)

Überlather: Acca Kappa "1869" Shave Creme + Acca Kappa "1869" Shave Soap + Glycerin

Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel

After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue AS

After Shave Balm: eShave "Almond" ASB

Cologne: Acca Kappa "1869" EdT

Results: I decided to go with the Acca Kappa software again today. Yeap!! it is that good. I hadn't shaved since Sunday and this gorilla face needed a nice, serious clean up . Hesitant to reach for any of my smaller blades, the "devil" on my left shoulder kept insisting I live on the edge. Given that I have a board meeting and a thick vegetation on my face, it was a BIG gamble to consider...But, tempting fate, I went for the Engels. Heck...What have I got to lose, right? The gamble paid off. The lather was luxurious, super rich and its scent intoxicatingly relaxing. Despite her small size, the Engels proved to be up for the task at hand and delivered an exceptional shave. From the way she wiped that growth, there was no mistaking the fact as to who was "BOSS". Three passes later and I am sporting a BBS face with absolutely zero irritation and 100% satisfaction. This is going to be a good day.

Have a FABULOUS Friday gentlemen .


Cheers,
Robert

Robert, You are the reason I have 2 of these wonderful razors! One 6/8" and one 9/16" which is out on a 'loaner' to my oldest son. Somehow I get the sneaking suspicion that I will never see her again...LOL! Great Shavers both!

Well gents, after working all night and all day yesterday, I had been awake for about 26 hours by 7:30 AM this morning. On top of it all, my boss is less than appreciative. Oh well, such is IT (long hours and managers who aren't social geniuses). I just woke up from a 4-hour sleep and feel much better. I think I'll grab a bite to eat, shave, do a few chores, and take another nap. Oh yeah, and homework.

Today's shave:

Razor: Kanenaga Kamisori
Prep: Bald Frog Eucalytus Balm
Brush: Whipped Dog Black Badger
Soap: Bald Frog Tangerine with 3 drops Kwan Loong Oil
A/S: Joop! Homme
Result: A great shave

Thanks Max!

Cheers! It's a sweet shaver, nice steel and very easy to shave with, I think (probably thanks to the relatively short cutting edge and wide blade ... much like a Japanese western straight) + I really like the blade design a lot.

Razor: C.V. Heljestrand (Eskilstuna) "MK Nº 31" 11/16
Brush: Rooney 1/1 "John Bull" Super Badger
Suds: Acqua di Parma Colonia
Skin: Acqua di Parma Colonia ASB
Scent: Acqua di Parma Colonia EDC

(hat-tip to fonthunter!)

...and yours are full yet, my friend!

Cheers,
