Bill gave me this soap to try when I was in DC a few weeks ago. I saved it for a nice day which was today. It lathered up really well and gave the spicy aroma of clove (I think). The W&B was well behaved as always and took off the whiskers effortlessly.
Happy New Year to all those who celebrate.

My last shave was last sunday. Thought i was going crazy. I could never have a beard. I chose my Maxtom razor for the heavy job ahead. 2 passes to BBS. Ahhhh i feel human again!

Like any other consumer driven pursuit, there are certain products in the wetshaving world that come with a certain quantity of hype. Of course the advantage that we have as opposed to other consumer driven pursuits is that few of these products are completely new. As a result most hype is honestly earned through years of performance. At worst they will be really good and at best they will far surpass the hype. The Gillette Fatboy is an example of the latter. Just an epic razor that consistently delivers great shaves!

Prep: Cool Water Wash
Razor: 1960 Gillette Fatboy (set to 9)
Brush: Omega Boar
Soap: Arko Shavestick
AS: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Finish: Murray and Lanman's Florida Water
Result: Weekly haircut was 3 passes on the dome. Not much to shave on my face after a fantastic shave yesterday so the face was a one pass affair.

Well looks like Fall is coming fast up here, so I wanted to get in a nice Summer Scent Shave before it starts snowing hehehe



Prep- Hot Shower, Noxema prep left on after the shower
Steaming Hot Towel
Lather - TSDS Iced Mojito shave soap
Brush - Semogue Excelsior #1305
Razor - Japanese Kamisori
Strop - Leather Bench 25 laps
Shave - WTG pass and clear water touch up
Cold Water rinse
A/S - Royall Lyme

Maybe the last day for the season out on the lake, but it started with a great shave

Well done Tom a full face shave with a straight on your very first attempt now that's something I never achieved, keep it up you will get there.
