Lather: 'Castle Forbes' Lime

For today's shave I took out the Boker Silver Steel which I really love. Stropped it 2 x 25 on my cordovan strop and the edge was just popping kamikaze style. Lathered up some CF Lime and thanks to my Simpson Chubby I ended up with tons of lather. What a great shave it was. Top notch hardware from start to finish. The result was sublime.

Gents, the last week of November is coming our way. Let's finish the month with a 'bang'. Have a great one.

The “Smiling Joe” wedge is one of my favorite shavers. I like the feel of the heavy tang. It offers a very positive grip with deep cut slanted jimps. The un-even spine wear and bevel are of no concern. The EDGE is fantastic.

Have a wonderful week of shaves.
