I soothes very fast, does a good job a moisturizing, it's very affordable and a little goes a long way.

Razor – Osborne & Sons wedge
Brush – Semouge custom badger
Soap – Dr Harris lavender , pre-soak with lemongrass & kiwi glycerin bar
AST – ALUM
AS – Penhaligons BB

Sheffield steel today. Fiddled with the edge on the Russian some more. It pays to know when to stop. I enjoy the Penhaligons BB. To me it smells of juniper. I will probably apply a moisturizer or ASB later as it is cold and dry outside.. Have a nice day guys.

Razor Wade & Butcher Special

I'm really liking that razor, I haven't seen one yet with the etching on the scales.

Sunday, late morning shave.

Warm Shower, Stephan's, warm oil
Dirty Bird 1.5 Scuttle
Mama Bear's Roses Soap
Badger Brush
Dubl Duck 5/8 Spike Point, "Hand Forged" "Ilium B&B Supply Co." Troy NY Made in Germany" by Glen
Strop SRD P1 100 laps
Razorock Aluminum

Fabulous shave again with this DD. The edge continues to really provide a wonderfully smooth shave. The Mama Bear's Roses leaves the room smelling like a Rose garden and the Pinaud always makes me feel nostalgic.

Enjoy your day!!
