A good shave, the Kolso has never given me a bad one. Nearing the end of the last puck of Col. Conk in my 4 pack gift set. Not that bad of a soap, seems like it doesn't last as long as other soaps. Also, three generations of wet shaving gear pictured

Up bright and early this morning so apparently I can post the morning shave, actually in the morning. Cold this morning (mid 40's) I'm real tempted to call in a snow day. But I'm sure winter will be over some time after lunch.

Have a Great Thursday Gents!

Brush: D.R. Harris

Scuttle: Simple soup bowl
Razor: Wade & butcher 7/8
Strop: Kanayama 20 canvas strokes and 60+ strokes on the leather

Notes:
Just this week read this older thread: http://straightrazorpalace.com/shavi...rl-can-do.html

So I thought to give the one-pass ATG a go, although with a super smooth W&B and the cushion of Castle Forbes. Well it turned out that strictly speaking it was more than one pass, but the first pass was definitely ATG!
Don’t think I would have done that on my all time first shave…

All went well and I have been face rubbing all morning

Paul

Prep - None
Strop - 3 inch bridle leather/hard felt
Razor - Edward Smiths "Celebrated Hollow Ground"
Brush - Simpsons QE II Jubilee Manchurian badger
Soap - DR Harris "Arlington" puck
Post - Alum block followed with Thayers witch hazel

Lovely cold water face lathered shave on this -20c morning. This is a razor whose blade I find the most aesthetically pleasing of all my razors.



Enjoy your day
