    Pre : Hot water, Old Spice preshave wash
    Brush : Progress Vulfix 404
    Soap : Proraso green tub
    Razor : Merkur 15C
    Blade : Personna
    Post : Cold water, alum block, Nivea AS balm

    Finish : Ok

    Comments :
    I'm not sure if it's technique or what, but the Proraso lather dries much quicker than anything I've used before, and requires one re-application mid-WTG pass and one mid-XTG pass.

    My first shave with Feather blades was horrific. I had razor burn all day and my skin was sensitive for another day. Today, I definitely had different results. Close shave in two passes.
    From their stillness came their non-action...Doing-nothing was accompanied by the feeling of satisfaction, anxieties and troubles find no place

    Prep: Hot Shower
    Razor: W&B, The Celebrated, For Barber's Use, 9/8
    Strop: SRD Prem I
    Brush: AOS Fine Badger
    Cream: T&H Trafalgar
    A/S: Pinaud Clubman

    Result: I am down to the last servings of both the T&H cream and Pinaud. I am using them daily to finish them off and move on, but they just seem to keep giving. It's amazing how little cream and aftershave is used per shave. Anyhow, this blade has always delivered a fine, smooth, BBS shave. Looking at this pic, I think I'll spend some time polishing it. I'm sure it can look a lot better. Hope your day is going well.

    Will shave this afternoon and I'm sure it will be great. A three-day-growth shave is always great

    Sorry to hear you were under the weather but I am glad you are on the mend.

    And I agree that should be a great shave comming.

    Just finished the shave. It was good, but I'm still fatigued and started setting dizzy toward the end. It was a DFS and confirmed to me that I among this group of straight wielding wet shavers (Anyone that can shave with a straight while having dizzy spells that border on hallucinations and not draw blood, must surely have secured some right of passage into the group, right?)

    Razor: 6/8 Wheatley Brothers Wheat Sheaf Round
    Strop: Cangooner Enterprises #1
    Brush: Vulfix Travel
    Soap: Proraso
    Shave: 3 passes, WTG/XTG/ATG
    Astringent: Alum
    A/S: Captain's Choice Bay Rum

    I've taken this shaving thing on the road for an extended weekend trip mostly to Boston. Tonight, I'm about half way there. This is a pretty picturesque part of the world, and it must be spectacular when the fall colours arrive. Excellent prices on single malts across the river in New Hampshire too. I just wish I could bring more than one bottle home with me.

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

    It is a beautiful part of the world! I lived there for 3 years, and was amazed at every season.
