Sunday
Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Martinez' Custom: Chess King w/ 26mm silver tip badger
Soap: Truefitt & Hill: Luxury Shaving Soap
Strop: Tony Miller Heirloom tri-strop (3x25)
Razor: Mastro Livi 8/8 Bergam Damascus in Mammoth Ivory Scales

Unhurried, comfortable and relaxing early Sunday morning shave.
It is still dark outside, and quiet. The smell of coffee is almost as strong as the Newport.
I'm getting ready for my Sunday breakfast. Have a good week.

Sunday
Not my normal ‘Edwardian style bedroom shave for this Sunday, but s standard bathroom one as I had to go out to lunch for the wife’s birthday. She's 46, 26 of those spent with me; so she really does need congratulating.
Up to the top of Mount Torrens and back, which was hard after yesterday’s rock climbing, but I shaved a whole FOUR seconds off my time.
The shave was excellent, I used the new O Melhor Orange Amber. Two passes, but the second just a neck touch up really.
An early night tonight I think…
Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

Strop: MickR's Roo Hide
Cream: Taylor's of Old Bond Street- Lemon & Lime
Brush: Frank's Fine Badger
Razor: Invicta 13/16
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel
Balm: Nivea Replenishing
A/S: Old Spice
For both it's good looks and it's shaving ability, this razor is one of my absolute favorites.
It must have been 4 days since my last shave, and the Invicta took me to BBS in 2 passes with ease.
This was the last of the TOBS Lemon & Lime sample that Rene sent me. Fortunately I'm ordering a bunch of stuff from SRD tonight and a new bowl of it will be on that list.
Have a great week boys, and thanks for the great posts and pics
