Those boots look OK Carl, but I like to think I know a fair amount about good handmade shoes and boots, as we do make the best in the world in the UK, I have several well known pairs of shoes and boots by British makers and would say these are my favourite maker, take a look if you dare.

Second verse, same as the first.

This has forever been my favorite musical piece, and this razor is among my favorites. I have been using it most days for a while now developing an understanding of the finer movements with it...and appreciating it more every day.

Wednesday, November 7, 2012

Location: Heart of Dixie
Pre: Hot Shower (Nivea Face Wash & Nivea Face Scrub)
Razor: Dovo 5/8 Stainless Steel
Strop: 3" Black Latigo Bench Top
Soap: AOS Sandalwood
Brush: Parker Silvertip
Scuttle: SWK XL
Astringent: Dickensons Witch Hazel
AS: AOS Sandalwood Aftershave Balm

Good morning gentlemen. Not feeling well this morning (I just can't shake "the crude"), but a nice shave was a great way to start the day. I haven't used my AOS products in awhile, and since it's turned cold here, I thought it would be a good time to try it again. The AOS Sandalwood has a great scent, especially when teamed up with the AOS ASB. Overall, it was a great way to start a busy day. Stay safe my friends.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Semogue SOC two band
Razor: Feather SS
Soap: LEA stick, new formula
AS: Tiger + TOBS Victorian lime
Result: Very, very clean

Prep: Quick Shower
Razor: Wade & Butcher American Razor, 7/8
Strop: Illinios 827
Brush: AOS Fine Badger
Soap: Williams Mug
A/S: Pinaud Clubman

Result: I tend to forget, or ignore, how good Williams is. It's not the most fragrant, does not come in a decorative tub, but it works well, and gets the job done. The lather was good. One multi-pass shave, with some touch up on my chin equals BBS. Have a wonderful Wednesday.

They look really cool, Jamie. I like the 'Northcote' boot. Problem is there's no prices and they don't seem to sell online but I haven't checked out the page fully). I don't even know if I can get the Hudsons' as they don't ship to Australia. I COULD get them sipped to my cousin in the UK, I guess. There is one site that has them online, but they're 100 bucks more expensive!
