I'm still sick but I was definitely feeling much better than yesterday. Removing a few days of beard growth was quite nice but did remind me I have to touch up the edges of a few of my razors.

I was feeling well enough to bring out my super duper extremely high tech homemade zoom lens and take a few pictures of the set up for todays shave. I passed on this one in favour of the one I used.

SATURDAY
Thanks, folks, for a week of great photos, razors, fru-fru, and ideas!
Hot shower prep
Soap: Stroker’s Find
Mug: Coffee and soup for lather
Brush: Barbershop Boar
Razor: Geneva Cutlery 7/8ths
Hone: George the Third. Unidentified but a wondrous finisher
Aftershock: Alum block
Splash: Sample, Captain’s Choice “BayRum”
Today: Another dim day, The Shave. I found the Geneva on the ‘bay. It looked different? Yes; I didn’t know Geneva made a 7/8ths! I found that out when it arrived! 1920 in pencil on the coffin. A little time on the hones removed the corrosion and a bit of the bevel. The Captain's Choice Bay Rum is a very strong and earthy fragrance. I like it!

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

Pre: Hot shower / AOS Lavender pre shave oil
Brush: Semogue owner's club (two band badger)
Cream: Proraso white (new formula)
Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89 w/ Derby blade
AS: Nivea aftershave lotion / GFT Coral Skin Food
DFS!

Sent a problem child old 5/8 Challenge razor that was beating my butt on the stones to our member MAGPIE and let him have his way with it
Razor; Challenge Cutlery 5/8 square point
Brush; Vulfix "Old Original Super Badger" medium size
Soap; VDH (the other soap pictured was a handy prop and I use it on "special occasions").
After shave Musgo Real

Magpie did a great job bringing that hard steel SOB Challenge back from the dead! I could get it close, but that just really doesn't work except for hand grenades and the like.
3 pass shave and BBS!
THANKS STEVE!!

Great Shave today and yesterday with the standard fair of MWF, the Invicta Razor and some Lilac Vegetal. I know some people dislike the smell of the Vegetal, at least in the reviews I have read, but I have really grown to like it. I can say I like the Lilac better than the Clubman. Anyway, great day yesterday at the DC temple. Should have given Bill a holler but I think that man stays busy.

Lilac Vegetal really does seem to be a love it or hate it fragrance. Like you, I'm a huge fan. I never did understand the legions of people not only don't care for it but find the smell downright objectionable. I've actually gotten compliments when I wear it.
