Thread: Sun November 25th - Sat December 01st

Just finished my nightly shave, usually do it at night, unless I have to be somewhere important in the morning. I felt adventurous & started with a Rolls Razor that I rescued about 9 months ago. Cleaned & stored it. I broke it out tonight & followed the directions & honed it on the attached hone, stropped it on the attached strop. 2 passes on the cheek & it felt like I was using the neighbor's machete.

To the rescue:

Razor: Joh. Engstrom Red Devil with ivory scales, all original (my smoothest shaver BTW)
Brush: Bull Elk Antler with Amber bottom, custom made by GemStar Customs.
Cream: Art of Shaving Lavender
Finished with Thayers Witch Hazel Lavender

Thank you for your time.

Brush: Semogue Owner's club (two band badger)
Cream soap: Cella
Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89 w/Derby blade
AS: Nivea after shave (splash) / Razorock aftershave wax

Good morning friends!

I actually forgot to use my wet towel today, even though I left it out overnight and took it to the bathroom with me this morning. I am still asleep now...
