Thread: Sun December 23rd - December 29th

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Simpson, Chubby 3
Razor: Iwisaki Kamisori
Soap: Nannys Eucalyptus
AS: La Toja Manantiales
Edt: Penhaligon's English Fern
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
This has to my surprise turned into the easiest to use kamisori I've got, at first I was terrified of the size (8/8) and legendary Iwisaki sans rep, but it is very easy to use (for a kamisori)

I decided to play around again with my ghetto camera phone lense....

Pre - Alum block
Strop - Vintage Marshall Wells Zenith 2 inch leather(Cordovan?)/Canvas
Brush - SOC 2 band badger
Soap - Cella+Proraso and 6 drops glycerine and 1 drop lanolin
Scuttle - Robert Becker
Razor - W&B Extra Hollow Ground pre 1891 5/8
Post - Alum block followed with Thayers witch hazel

First time using this strop. Must say I like the Cordovan leather and canvas but dislike the 2 inch width being spoiled with my 3 inch strop. Good excuse to get a 3 inch Cordovan from Neil Miller, no? Have a good one and don't forget to finish your Christmas shopping.
