I nick named this razor the 'Velvet Squeegee' for good reason, another fantastic shave!

Have a Great Tuesday Gents!

Hot Shower and Facial Scrub

Fitjar Slatteroy Shaving Cream

Organic Shea Butter
Barbershop Natural Bay Rum
Morgans Classic Hair Cream
Brians own Moustache Wax
Quorum EDT (Later ....before I go to work)

Probably obvious why I dont post pics often:-/ The available light didn't do me any favours. The shave however was excellent!

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
Soap - DR Harris "Arlington"/cold water face lathered
Post - Alum block followed with Thayers witch hazel

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
AS: Aqua Velva Ice Blue

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!

* Tom, no, my friend has very sensitive skin and a few molds that are irritating him with his other razors. Nothing serious and thanks for your concern.
