Hones: Norton 4K/8K, Zulu Grey
Brush: Cangooner #1
Cream: Body Shop Maca Root
Scuttle: Robert Baker 002 in Lava Slate
Shave: 3 passes, WTG/XTG/ATG
Astringent: Thayer's
A/S: Captain's Choice Bay Rum
I decided the other day to pass on my Bengall to a new straight shaver here in town. It's a great little razor, but was sitting here unused and neglected. So I took it to the hones to get it ready and figured I might as well take the opportunity to get my long-neglected Vom Cleef ready to go as well. Both turned out pretty nicely. I just love the shape of the Vom Cleef: barber's notch, thumb notch, jimping, and kind of wedge-y.
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

Prep - Hot water + shave towel
Pre-Shave - Musgo Real Glyce
Brush - Dad's old brush
Soap - Proraso
Razor - De Haven safety razor
Post - Thayers + Nivea balm
I liked the Proraso much better the second time around, I guess you get used to it pretty quickly. Just to be different I shaved with a De Haven safety razor tonight. Those proprietary blades can be a real pain to get good and sharp, and the built in "shake sharp" mechanism is quite the contraption
I did mine by hand on a hone, and after a whole lot of dialing in, the thing gives a good 3 pass shave.

Wednesday
Razor | J A Hellberg Frameback | Cream | Body Shop Macca Root | After Shave | D. R. Harris Bay Rum
Body Shop Macca Root shave cream is magic.
I don’t mean that it’s good, which it undoubtedly is, I mean it’s magic.
Magic as in abracadabra.
Magic as in The Magic Pudding.
Magic as in ‘Why The Sea is Salt’.
I used the tiniest amount and yet it was enough.
I think there’s no limit. I think you could half the amount of Body Shop Macca Root shave cream you squirt into a bowl ad infinitum and always have just enough.
It’s magic I say and I’ll fight anyone who says it isn’t!!!
Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?
