First shave with the Puma, even though she came shave ready, just out of habit I took her back to the Naniwa 5K then 8K finished on the 12K 50 linen 60 on the leather delivered a lovely BBS shave.

This morninh shave - prep in the shower then strop 25 linen & 50 leather on my Tony Miller. Shave soap Tabac (classic) dodgy old cheap brush, two pass - WTG & ATG with a slight touch up on the neck. Alum block and Tabac Men Silver as to finish. Razor is my newest addition to the stable - Blasberg 9/8 full hollow. Nice shave, close but missed a little on the bottom of my neck on the ATG pass - not as close as would have liked. Razor honed on a vintage coti finishing on very light slurry, hitting HHT4 after stropping.

Result: Feeling kinda oogy this morning, but a nice relaxing 3 pass shave sure helps!
Having a going away party for my little brother tonight. He is moving to Arizona. Got a new job, so now the 2 youngest brothers are going to live there, my other 2 brothers are within a quarter mile. Gonna miss the little buzzard but it's a great opportunity for him.
Have a Great Friday Gents!

Cold water face lathered shave. It started out to be a straight razor shave with a pre 1890s W&B near wedge but after 2 passes it was evident that it had resisted taking a proper edge yet again. My honing ability is just not up to the task with this one. It is a good thing I can always rely on the Fat Boy/Astra SP combo to deliver a BBS shave and in this case in 1 ATG pass. I sure hope your shave went better this morning and it wouldn't take much to do so.
