    PREP - None
    SOAP - TOBS / Jermyn St
    BRUSH - Kimson / Horn Handle
    RAZOR - Boxer Custom 6/8

    Last time i used this razor i sliced my face twice on the left cheek, but i completed the shave and it was pretty close.
    The only problem with a spiked toe and relatively short blade edge is, you tend to use the blade near the toe and end up cutting yourself.
    This razor certainly takes more concentration to use.

    Prep: Hot Shower
    Soap: TOBS Coconut
    Brush: Thater Fine Badger
    Razor: Ralf Aust 5/8
    AS: Two applications of Thayers followed by Neutrogena
    Post Shave Lotion

    Rough shave. I am having a heck of a time with finding the right angle on the neck. Ended up with major razor burn everywhere below the jaw, hence the double application of Thayers. I don't know if the second application did anything but it felt appropriate. Sorry no picture. I was playing around with shave gear and camera yesterday-cell phone pics were bad and I don't have the skill for good shave pics with the SLR sans macro lens.

    Gorgeous day today, cool, clear and dry.

    Hot shower, warm oil
    Dirty Bird Scuttle
    Custom Badger Brush
    Castle Forbes AS
    Dovo, Silver Steel, 5/8 full hollow
    25 Laps with tape on Paddle with Crox, 50 Laps on leather
    Razorock Aluminum
    Thayer's Witch Hazel
    Vaseline for men

    A quick touch up on the Dovo. I've had discussions about using Crox on a paddle strop with tape on the spine. My take is that if the razor is honed with tape, and I use tape on the spine when using the Crox on a paddle, the result will have no effect on the bevel. Seems to work well for me because I've checked the bevel after using Crox and tape and found no issue other than the quick refresh.
    Anyway, the entire shave was great, from the aroma from the CF to the hot towels at the end.

    Enjoy the rest of the day!!
