Thread: Sun September 23rd - Sat September 29th

Lot's of "It's been a while"s today. I haven't posted a SOTD, used a cream instead of a soap, used a big floppy brush, or used a ASB in a long time. It was a great shave

FRIDAY

Hot shower prep
Razor: 6/8th+ Henckles Zwillinsverks Carbon steel
Hone: unnamed ancient slab
Strop: Tripoli's Best
Soap: E.U. produced Nivea
Mug: soup cup
Brush: 24mm generic mixed badger
Aftershock: alum block
Splash: NOS Brut

1 pass and a touch up and good to go! Wow!!

What a glorious day! Some days everything comes together and brings joy. The sun is bright and the fall colors are fantastic. The old razor, a mass of pits when I found it is now only cleaned and takes a wondrous edge.That old chunk of rock is a DRY finisher that I cannot best, again it was found along with some dud razors of the early 20th century. The old strop, as supple as the day it was sold, was 'nother great find.

To top it all off; the chuckle as the splash came from the bottle was an added gift to lift my spirits!

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