Thread: January 21 - January 27

Sunday

First time with my new razor, ready honed and stropped:

3 days growth
Dovo Inox 5/8 Stainless
T4 GB Kent
Trumper's Coral Skin Food pre-lather
Trumper's Rose cream
Finish with Coral Skin Food

Very refreshing and problem-free shave.

Good to hear.

Mon:
Rooney small style 1 brush
Gold Dachs Spezial soap
Hand American strop
6/8 Clauss USMC
Harris face milk

Removed a nick and honed it up yesterday, and it passed the various hair tests but gave a mediocre shave. I went from the Tam O' Shanter straight to the chrome oxide, and I suspect I shouldn't have skipped the shapton. I'll fix it tonight and try it again tomorrow.

First shave with the Bartman and its not bad - could use a few more swipes on the .5 paste, but a nice shave.

The real story is the Honeybee soap - I've been wanting to try this stuff for a while as it has gotten good reviews over at B&B. I've used the amber and cedarwood/amber and this stuff is simply one of the best soaps I've used (its got shea butter, glycerine and clays, and some other good stuff). Although I think its scented with FOs. Lather's like a champ and is one of the few soaps that doesn't seem to dry my skin out.
