SATURDAY
Hot shower prep
Razor: FRIEDR BAURMANN & SOHNE "COMFORT" ~1900-1914
Soap: P-160
Mug: Travel set circa 1920's
Brush: Sta Fast
Aftershock: none
Splash: HESS "Rose Face Lotion"
'What a week! I was at a gun show last weekend and these beauties were the only sharp ones there. The girls needed to find a nice young blade and so, in the course of an evening, the original blade went west and comfort took its place. The first shave off the hones?? The ladies were delightfully close!
This is only the second set of "Risqué Scales" that I have found; the others were trash but not visible trash in the seller's photo! These ladies just needed a bit of TLC and returned it with interest.
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!

Thank you all for a week of great photos, ideas, and shaves shown!

Shave went great! Love all the items I used, especially the Invicta. It has to be my favorite razor so far. My first favorite was the TI but now it has been replaced. The Invicta can tackle an ATG pass on my chin smoothly. My chin is not easy to shave since, well, due to the angularity and thickness of the whiskers there. However, the shave was not perfect. I dropped the razor. The loupe revealed that I put some small dents in it.
I guess that is life. You cannot have pleasure if it were not for pain.From their stillness came their non-action...Doing-nothing was accompanied by the feeling of satisfaction, anxieties and troubles find no place

Prep: Lukewarm shower, Clearly Natural
Razor: William Elliot and Co.
Brush: Semogue 1305
Soap: Tabac
AS: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Clubman Bay Rum
Finish: Murray and Lanman's Florida Water
Tunes: The B-52's- Love Shack, The Clash- Rock the Casba
Results: Fantastic two pass shave. Catfish Belly Smooth. This Clearly Natural soap is a really good pre-shave. I suspect that being a glycerin soap it operates much like Musgo Real Glyce. Except of course that it's much cheaper (a buck and change and most local supermarkets).

Location: Ottawa, Ontario
Razor: Rolls
Brush: Whippeddog silvertip
Soap: Bald Frog Wakeup Rosemary
Scuttle: Robert Baker 002 in Lava Slate
Shave: 2 passes, WTG/XTG
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel
A/S: Mens Stock North Woods
Reading Material: Eulogium Historiarum Sive Temporis (one of many parts of Thomas Walsingham's late 14th, early 15th century chronicles. T.W. was the most influential contemporary English historian of the time.) Rolls Series, 1863
This is the second in the Cangooner Chronicles series. Two of my favourite things are razors and mediaeval chronicles. So why not bring them together?
Thanks for this one goes out to hitemfrank for reminding me I had a Rolls kicking around here. As for the Rolls... that was an interesting experience. Kind of but not really like a straight, kind of but not really like a DE. I escaped unscathed with a decent shave, so I won't complain.
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

Good to hear it went well. The shaves from it can be excellent if you hone it one something other than the original hone.

Looks like the new D5100 is working for you, Rune!
