I've seen a few wandering around the hills in Brecon Brian, and I've also met some while walking home on the weekend when Wales were playing in the Six Nations international rugby tournament.

Belated Sunday night post
Wm Hargreaves & Co razor - generic silvertip badger brush - LaToja sc - cold water splash - Acca Kappa 1869 AdC

A fine shave. The Hargreaves is nearly shave ready. Under the right angle she already is, but I feel there's more to gain. Expecting my first Thuringian stone this week, so expect the edge to refine still.

Prep: hot shower
Brush: Simpson Polo 8
Razor: C V Heljestrand B K 42 + GEM (for head)
Soap/AS: Tabac
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Uberclean
This Helje's a sweeet shaver, but I was banned from our daughters room due to smelling Tabac

Good morning y'all! Today's shave involved my first use of my wife's Valentine's gift to me, the Tradere safety bar DE. People love or hate this thing, so I figured I'd see what the fuss was about. For me, a pretty effortless 1 pass BBS.

Prep - hot shower
Soap - A di P
Brush - 2011 SOC LE, size 2, 2 band
Razor - Tradere SB, Gillette 7 O'Clock blade
Post - cold water, alum, Kiehl's lotion
EDT - Creed, Millessime Imperial



Have a great day y'all!

TUESDAY
Extra: Pipe Smokes Stubble!
Hot shower prep
Razor: 5/8ths “The original Pipe”
Soap: VdH
Mug: cup and soup cup for lathering
Brush: generic black badger
Aftershock: none
Splash: Don Juan

The day: Bright, windy, and cold -17ºC. The Shave: Finally..this razor is a honing problem. No tape but a lot of cussing! It is shaving well now but has asked a lot to do so. The shave ended up as being the first good shave from this blade.! VdH is my go to for protection..glycerin added for moisture and slick. The Russian Don Juan is a great aftershave!
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker
