    Sunday February 25, 2013

    Pre: Hot Shower, Nivea Face Wash & Nivea Face Scrub (used as a pre-shave)
    Soap: D. R. Harris Arlington
    Brush: Vintage Boar Brush
    Strop: 3" Loom Strop
    Razor: George Wostenholm & Sons "Pipe" Razor (Max Sprecher Restored "Maxterpiece")
    Astringent: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    AS: D. R. Harris Arlington

    My wife purchased this brush for me a few months back. I finally got around to cleaning it a few weeks ago. I've always been hesitant to use a "used brush" but I've been reading the forums and gave it a "good wash." I've never used a boar brush before, and to be honest, I was VERY impressed. I have my daughters this weekend, and my youngest loves the scent of Arlington, so I felt obliged to use it this morning. Fantastic two pass shave, WTG & ATG -- BBS with minimal effort. Keep up the great pictures & posts. Have a great week my friends.

    Fantastic shave tonight. Just one ATG pass and a few touch-up's to achieve a BBS result.
    Finished with Witch Hazel and Bay Rum splash.

    The more we learn the less we know.

    DE shave today. One of the worst cases of tendentis has my left arm completely incapacitated. Only one hand available.

    Prep: Hot shower
    Brush: Simpsons Commodore x2
    Soap: DR Harris Marlborough
    Razor: Edwin Jagger DE 87
    Blade: Kai
    A/S: Captains Choice Cat O'nines Tail, Ems balm

    Not as good as a straight but it'll have to do.

    Even without the straight this is all top shelf kit. Sorry to hear your body is malfunctioning. That's awful! Hope you work it out quickly. Maybe ice and ibuprofen for any swelling and inflamation. ...fish oil omega has anti-inflammitory properties and stinging nettle has helped keep my joints loose.
