    SUNDAY

    Hot shower prep
    Razor: Autostrop "VALET"
    Soap: ARCO creme
    Mug: ARCO
    Brush: ARCO "Lider" ( Leader)
    Aftershock: none
    Splash: TABAC (JADE)

    The Arco cream is very smooth, lathers well, and gave my skin protection from the scratchy blade. That "Lider" is a huge brush and very pleasant and smooth from the wrapper with only a soak while i showered.The working ends of the bristles are all split and soft as nice as an old cabinet maker's varnish brush.
    The little razor that could. a first for me. I found some NOS blades and dug the wee beasty from my to-do box and cleaned it well. Results: The blade needs some outside the razor honing and stropping. No cuts nor abrasions on my face. A close shave, but not very comfortable.


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

    Wild sow in mud...



    We were in the Teutoburg Forest...
    You know this is the place, where Germanic tribes killed a Roman Legion "some" years ago...
    The Battle of Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD occurred in or near this region, though the exact location is disputed. The Roman historian Gaius Cornelius Tacitus identified the location of the battle as saltus Teutoburgiensis (saltus meaning a forest valley in Latin), and the encounter was therefore called the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. Recent excavations suggest that at least the final stages of the battle took place farther northwest, at Kalkriese, north of Osnabrück

    Yesterday's shave that I didn't post 'cause the site was down :-(

    Sunday

    It really is a magical day here today. The bird song and the business of spring is almost annoying. This morning I slept late, then, on arising, bathed, took fresh hand ground coffee freshly brewed and took a walk to the top of Mount Torrens with the hound.
    On returning, I again bathed, gave myself a haircut, cleaned and tidied my room; washed my sheets. I then retired to the garden after drinking two cups of Pu-erh tea and a cup of fruit melange tea mixed half and half with silver needle and Jasmine flower tea. I read ‘The Book Thief’ whilst drinking Carlsberg and watching the bees, the chickens, the cows and the sky.
    Mid afternoon I shaved in my room with a pitcher of hot water drawn from the kitchen tap, ‘Boheme’ soap by Madame Scodioloi and a fine Swedish razor.

    As I shaved the sounds of The Brian Jonestown Massacre’s ‘Strung Out In Heaven’ filled the room. The warm breeze blew the curtains…


    Razor: J A Hellberg | Soap: ‘Boheme’ | Eau de Cologne: Lavanda

    Prep: Hot Shower
    Brush: AoS Pure Badger
    Shave Soap: SRD Vetiver
    Bowl: A Morter wih soap melted onto it
    Razor: Dovo 5/8 Diamant
    Strop: 3in SRD Latigo with poly webbing
    Shave: 2 pass WTG, XTG(ATG for the neck)
    ASB: AoS Unscented
    AS: Old Spice
    Results: I have been looking at the stroptober videos and I realized I have been zipping the razor up and down like speed racer. So this morning I just took my time felt the poly on the blade then I turned it over to the leather and felt the draw of the Latigo and listened to sound it was am amazing experience. Thanks To all the contributors to that thread what a great idea. My razor shaved like a dream this morning. The soap was amazing it provided great cushion glide and the scent was nice too.
