Wow Keith what a great profile shot of your Kamisori, anyone with a question of how the grind looks should see this!

Thanks man.

I wasn't the shot I was originally going for today but it worked out quite nicely, if I do say so myself.

Razor: The King's Own
Soap: La Saponeria del Titano
Brush: Chubby Pork (custom made)
Balm: K3 ekstra - Fitjar

Williams soap, J R Tory 5/8 razor, and old spice after shave

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Neep, coffee bean brush
Razor: Joh. Engström
Cream: Castle Forbes, Lime
AS: Mennen S B
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
Old faithful razor - nice, good and stiff Swedish steel

FRIDAY
Hot shower prep
Soap: Nivea Rasage Creme
Mug: none, face lathered
Brush: generic 28mm black badger
Strop: Melchior of Chicgo, Light to medium draw.
Razor: NOS Henckles #60 ~ 1970?
Aftershock: alum block
Splash: Granny Juice! Kolnisch Wasser #4711

Today: drizzle, rain, and expecting snow. The Shave: simple and pleasant, This later Henckles shaves as well as any of the vintage ones, and holds an edge. The Nivea is a good companion when the weather changes. I still like the #4711 as it brings back memories of a period of time when I was first able to afford a bottle!
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!

Red Imp 132
MWF Soap
Styptic Pen
Lilac Vegetal

Besides the big slit in my cheek it was a good shave. The razor despite being nearly NOS had no bevel. She was part of my razor hunt and I rescued her, giving her a good home. I gave it purpose again. She gives me purpose. Creepy? Yes. But better than sitting on my bed looking at the ceiling.

Day 3 whit one of my Herders
This time again a R.Herder a 6/8 this time, schrecklich gutte shaver that give me a very smooth face and head.


R. Herder 6/8. , ZWK XL, Mama bear liliac lavendel, silvertip brush , le male

Prep: 4 mile run, hot shower
Razor: Hart 6/8
Brush: Semogue Boar
Soap: Williams Mug
A/S: Pinaud Lilac Vegetal

Result: The Lilac Vegatal showed up yesterday, so I gave it a go this morning, a first for me. I kept it simple to see what this fragrance is all about. I'm still within the 30 minute window I've read about, but so far so good. I otherwise had a DFS, and Williams did a good job for me, as always. As for the Lilac Vegetal, the scent is very light, and for some reason, I'm smelling pancakes with maple syrup, which is making me hungry. Happy Friday to all!
