Prep - None
Strop - 3 inch bridle leather/hard felt
Razor - W&B "Extra Hollow Ground" pre 1891 11/16 shoulderless spike point/stropped night previous
Brush - Omega 10066 boar

Nice little rescued blade paired with a modern set of rescued scales but the mutt she shaves well. The cheap little Omega lather monster continues to impress too. Great start hope yours is/was too.

Tuesday 2/26/13
Razor: 5/8 F.W. Engels Special
Strop: Scrupleworks Horween/Linen 30/30
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Brush: R.A. Rooney 2XL "Jade"
Astringent: Thayers Lavender

The razor is new to me. Was a NOS find, and I had it shave ready in no time. Shave was great, but I think I can squeeze a little more out of it. I learned this morning that a quality, well honed 5/8 will shave just as good as any of them. I'll not underestimate a 5/8 again.
Good Shaves to you Gents!
