Thread: Sun - April 14th - Sat April 20th

Prep: None
Brush: Simpson's Chubby 1 Best Badger
Razor: Gold-Paon 56 13/16" half hollow
Soap: Martin de Candre
Balm: Martin de Candre camomile oil

Notes: Good, 2-pass shave. Initially had to keep the angles quite low, but after the first pass the edge was tamed a bit and I could run it along the skin with a bit more freedom.

SUNDAY

May the week ahead bring you all happiness and positive income!

Hot shower prep

Razor: Simmons Hardware..”Barber’s Pet

Soap: Nanny’s Silly Soap, Marzipan

Mug: Staffordshire

Brush: Re-knot mixed badger

Aftershock: none

Splash: none

The Day? Snow, sleet, and rain later. 0ºC. The Shave? made up for the weather. Nanny’s seems to dry my skin and is not very lubricious on my face. It did work well and I certainly would not nay say it to anyone. Better than P-160 And Cella!

The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!

Took a great edge after a little persuasion, and a nice smooth shave ensued.

I would venture that it is a Torrey or a Hjelstrand. I've not seen that grind with the warning point on the heel otherwise. Enjoy some great Steel!
