Its Fathers Day in Australia and I spent a nice day down here in Sydney, visiting my Father in Law for lunch, then having dinner with my parents and my 2 brothers.
Its been a fun day of catching up.
A very simple 2 pass head shave with the Gem was a relaxing way to finish off the day.

Sorry about the recycled pic, I dont have my camera or laptop with me here,
Have a great week gentlemen and thanks for the great posts and pics

Bjornar, congratulations on the big 3000

Two wedges that I have honed this morning, the entire job was done within an hour, finaly the old "made for united states" is the better !

Regards

September 2nd

Hot shower prep
Razor: M M & Co
Soap: P-160
Mug: Un-marked quality scuttle
Brush: Horse hair
Aftershock: Alum block
Splash: For Men ( French )

A couple very inexpensive new finds. The Razor and the scuttle. The razor, Coticule finish honed last night gave a great shave this AM. Scuttles do work well! I had a bit of P-160 left and it went into the scuttle tray. I soaked the brush in the well. I made and picked up thick lather and mostly face lathered. Any excess water dripped into the hot water well. Each pass made a bit better lather. Once I learned that one tiny squeeze was almost too much..I like the splash



M M & Co A dead ringer for the Le Coulter, and uses Le Coulter blades.( This appears to be another private label or perhaps a sub company set up in the destination country as was the Arbenz, in England.)
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!

I seem to be still in favour with the gods of shaving.

No shave today. I'm still pretty smooth from yesterday.

My first game as an RMU Colonials fan did not go so well last night...
