I reckon I'll use it for the last time on Saturday and then throw the end into a tin that already has a couple of Palmolive sticks grated inside.

Interestingly, how many shaves has it given you?
Palmolive is one of the few sticks that I can see shrinking with every use!!

Prep Palmolive Verbena & Neroli Soap
Razor Puma 75 5/8
Strop Kanayama Cordovan #8000
Brush Simpsons M7 LE Finest Silvertip
GFT Coconut Oil Shaving Cream
Alum & Witch Hazel
Una Brennan Neroli Moisturiser
Penhaligon's Castile Edt

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.

Early shave today. Needed a clean face this morning so I did a quick, single pass.

Warm Shower, Stephan's, Warm oil.
Dirty bird Scuttle
MWF Soap
Badger Brush
Williams Damascus in Ivory
Razorock
Aramis, AS, AS Balm

Nice quick shave. Just a picture of the razor.

Enjoy the day.

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.
