Razor:Joseph Elliot's best silver steel vintage with custom scales
Post shave: kyoku razor repair balm
Aftershave: old spice original

Had custom scales put on this razor for me by Catrentshaving on here! Amazing work, great honing, awesome dude all around!! was hoping to pick this razor up for my wednesday shave but that didn't happen due to me being sick as a dog! Found a little razor burn, but its my first time shaving with a wedge so I think being use to a hollow made me push to hard!! Great first shave, this razor is my Number 1!!

PS. I did clean the water off the razor before i put it away, just kinda forgot before the photo

Saturday
Hot water prep
Ali's Blade T-Rex "Hors serie" razor - Proraso red Sandalwood sc - generic silvertip badger brush - cold water splash - L'Oreal asb - hot towel - LaLique White EdT

A damn fine shave with the T-Rex again. The edge is starting to mellow out a bit after a few shaves, but still is deadly sharp. Two passes, one WTG one ATG and I am as smooth as I can be. Very relaxing shave enjoyed to the tunes of Blue Mitchell. Another great week of shaves comes to an end. Enjoy your weekend folks!

Prep: 28 mile bike ride, hot shower
Razor: Wheat Sheaf Cutlery Company, 13/16, near wedge
Strop: Illinios 827, SRD Prem I
Cream: Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar
A/S: Floid Blue

Result: This is a new razor to me. It came shave ready from a gentleman in New York who took some care in packaging this razor. The edge is incredible, and this is one nice, smooth shave, and a keeper for sure. You all have a fantastic Saturday!

No shave for me today. I didn't have time this morning before heading out to do some first aid cover.

Luckily yesterdays shave was so good I really didn't need one today.

They seem to leave Faulding off the box and tube these days and i find it works best if you make a lather on your face with it.
