Thread: Sun September 16th - Sat September 23rd

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 28mm Rodney Neep Extra dense Silvertip Badger w/ African Soapstone

Razor: 15/16" BARTMANN #504, Worked spine, Full Hollow Ground, Round point

Honing: 30 laps w/slurry on Shapton 12K + 35 laps w/ Nagura slurry on Maruka Asagi

Strop: 0/0/0 laps (Neil Miller Linen / Imperial Shave Pegasus III Cordovan Latigo / Horsehide leather)

Überlather: CarrieM "Lilac" Shave Creme + Mama Bear's "Lilac + Patchouli" Shave Soap + Glycerin + 2 drops of liq. lanolin

Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel

After Shave Splash: Floïd Spanish Blue AS

Cologne: Floïd Spanish Blue EdT

Results: What a week. Hadn't shaved since Tuesday and today had to be special. I decided to use a Lilac and Patchouli über combo. Mama Bear produces some of the most marvelous artisan shave soaps out there. It ranks amongst the top performers in my book . The RN brush whipped up a rich and luxurious lather that was out of this world with a scent that was equally hypnotizing. The Bartmann is a superb shaver. After refreshing her edge on the stones, she took on a keen and ultra smooth edge. Took her straight to my face without stropping. This shave was super nice and comfortable.

Have an AMAZING Sunday gentlemen .


Cheers,
Robert

Gentlemen, the great Jane Austen said in her novel Emma: "One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other." Which perfectly frames the pleasures of wet shaving with the straight razor that half the world cannot understand — except for those of us who experience it daily. With that in mind, here is today's shave menu:

A very nice razor, courtesy of a seller in Belgium. It needed a bit of care and shaves a treat. The combination today was almost perfect, The razor will be dialed in over the next week or so.

The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!
