    Prep - None
    Strop - 3 Inch bridle leather/hard felt
    Razor - W&B wedgie type thingy/stropped night previous
    Brush - Omega 10066 Boar
    Soap - Proraso green tub new formula/cold water face lathered
    Post - Alum block followed with Thayers witch hazel
    AS - Stetson

    No photo as same razor as yesterdays but had taken it back to the finisher for a few more licks. I think we are there, ending a 6 months long series of frustrations with that blade. First go with the new formula green tub Proraso, ver nice. Even on this -13C morning the menthol soap and cold water shave was enjoyable, wide awake now. Hope your work week ends on a similar good note.

    It's Friday and after this week, I feel like my vision's gone all blurry. But the weekend's supposed to be a beauty. Unfortunately, I'll probably spend most of it running errands with SWMBO as she prepares to head out to Japan for a month...

    Today, though, I slowed the pace down and did a nice shave with the Kikuboshi Special, the 2-Band Chubby, and some AdP. Life really is too good to not enjoy!

    Prep: Shower
    Scuttle: Schwarzweisskeramik Basic
    Brush: Simpsons Chubby 1 Best Badger
    Cream: Castle Forbes Lime
    Razor: Le Grelot Frameback
    Astringent: Osma Alum
    Aftershave: Speick
    Eau de Toilette: Penhaligons Blenheim Bouquet



    Notes: Initially quite liked the shave. The razor was doing an excellent job with its WTG passes. A bit stickier when I attempted ATG.
    Still a great result and I am thinking very hard about getting some Blenheim Bouquet. It's a pleasant enough smell - just not complex or masculine enough. All I get from it is nerioli - I smell like an orange.
