Fri, Jan 18

Pre: Hot Shower, 15 Linen, 15 Leather
Razor: Hart 6/8" Square Tip w/Rosewood
Brush: TI Super Badger w/ Black Horn
Scuttle: Dirty Bird Brush Scuttle
Soap/Cream: TOBS Lavender
Post: Cold water and Alum
Aftershave: T&H 1805

Gave my neck a rest. My last shave which I was away from the computer killed my neck. Touched up my Hart on the Purple Welsh Hone and gave the neck a week break. Today's shave was smooth as butter. Still waiting on my Jos. Rodgers to come in. Got a dinner date so 1805 as the aftershave.

Happy Shaving!

Prep: hot shower
Razor: 6/8 Dubl Duck Goldedge, Square Point
Strop: Illinois 827
Cream: Spencer & Devon Sagebrush
A/S: Thayer's Rose Witch Hazel, followed by AOS Sandalwood Balm

Result: Sorry, no time for a pic. I don't think this Dubl Duck has ever been dialed in like it is right now. I must have lucked out when I touched it up a couple weeks ago or so with just the right number of strokes and amount of pressure. Shaving like a dream, and I hope it's a long while before it needs another touch up. BBS, and ready for a date with my wife this evening. Happy Friday to all!

Friday 18th January

Hot Shower and facial scrub
3P Pre/Post Cream
Junker 13/16 Western Style Japanese Razor
Rod Neep 26x 47 Extra Silvertip
Nannys Cedarwood &Vetyver Soap
Witch Hazel
Organic Shea Butter
Pashana Bay Rum for Hair and Face
Brian's own (Moustache Wax)

The elements conspired against me today. Heavy overnight snow almost prevented me from getting home this morning. However I made it and had my first shave with this razor:



A super smooth and comfortable shave.

So, no posh shiny stuff here, but I recently restored the bangall and last night i honed it while watching Glen hone a wedge on youtube (cheers glen!).
First shave with a near wedge, went well! First shave with anything other than a round point full hollow, in fact!

Hot shower
Real Shave Company cream
Wilkinson sword Plastic Fantastic brush
Coffee cup liberated from posh office upstairs
Cadman Bangall near wedge, rescaled
Nivea moisturiser

Shave done in work, so no oil, balm or alum. Just what's in my locker.

Yes. She says "You're a strange little man" or "You're weird". However, as reported the other day, she actually suggested a background method to me...

I've heard that as well, minus the background suggestion...
