Soap: Van Der Hagen deluxe
Mug: Red Coffee Mug
Strop: SRD Black Latigo Leather
Razor: Boker 6/8 Piccadilly in Buffalo Horn
AS: Aqua Velva Ice Blue
ASB: Gillette Fusion Pro Series
Results: I got CBS today.i thought I would use cat fish belly smooth today cause its been raining like crazy here in Okinawa so I feel like a fish. I'm still getting used to the size of the razor. I didn't think that it was going to be that big a difference , but it feels way different. 3.5 mile run with co workers then 20 minute circuit training.

With a hot towel between each pass and the Raptor wiping the whiskers away like fleece, I was left with a BBS face and felt much better in both health and spirit.David,

Great closeup, David and the Marlborough/Sandalo combination must have worked a treat! Originally Posted by Optometrist

Thank you, Bill, and yes, the dry down of the Sandalo is not too dissimilar to the Harris soap, IMO. Originally Posted by LegalBeagle

Hot Shower, Clearly Natural Honeysuckle
Razor: Lecran Cutlery Extra Hollow Ground
Brush: Semogue 1305
Soap: Tabac
AS: Clubman Bay Rum
Finish: Classic Match CK Obsession
Results: Great shave! This Clearly Natural soap is proving to be a great preshave. Although it's very serviceable as a stand alone shave soap, here lately I've been simply washing my face with it and rinsing with hot water as a pre-shave. The more I use Tabac the more I like it.

Prep: Hot Shower/ Proraso pre-post creme
Scuttle: G5
Brush: AOS Pure Badger
Soap: MWF
Razor: Elyria Hardware Co. M.I. Germany 5/8" 1/2 hollow grind
Post: Proraso AS/ Nivea Lotion
Result: I couldn't remember how the edge was since I last shaved with this razor but was pleasantly surprised with the buttery smooth edge. The MWF did it's usual superb job of making suds and 3 passes later I was BBS. I don't think I will be buying a refill on the Nivea lotion. After using the T&H balms, I am spoiled, the Nivea left too much of a greasy feel and did not moisturize nearly as well, geez what do you expect though, it's about 1/5th of the cost... Enough whining though, off to work feeling like a king!
