A very relaxing shave today after playing football (soccer) for the first time in at least 6 months. I feel more tired after 90 of football than I did after a 15 Km hike I did a few weeks ago.Keith

Location: Ottawa, Ontario
Razor: 17/16 Wade & Butcher For Barbers Use
Strop: Cangooner Enterprises #3
Brush: Cangooner Enterprises #1
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Scuttle: Robert Baker 002 in Lava Slate
Shave: 3 passes, WTG/XTG/ATG
Astringent: Thayer's
A/S: Captain's Choice Bay Rum
Today was a special day at Cangooner Enterprises: the first prototype from our Brushworks was successfully tested. The handle was hand carved from a piece of soapstone (although I used a press and forstner bit to bore out a hole for the knot), and the badger knot came from Lee Valley. It's a little small for my liking (20mm) but I was too impatient to wait for a larger knot to arrive in the mail. All of which naturally means I'll just have to make another for a larger knot.
So today's shave was particularly satisfying as I was able to lather with a brush I made, strop on a strop I made, and shave with a *great* razor whose scales I made. Now, if I could just somehow set up a forge in my apartment without burning the place down and/or being evicted, I could take care of that last piece of the equation. One day... one day...

It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

This day off stuff is the cat's pajamas, slept late, lollygagged around with the lovely Mrs. GI, came home, quick touch up hone, and a good shave (the edge needs a bit more work but the shave was pretty good. Maybe off for a beer and pipeLast edited by 1OldGI; 03-09-2013 at 11:13 PM.
