Feeling 'old school' today. The Feathers did not leave so much burn this time. Face is feeling just fine. The brush, though floppy, mixed the lather well. Williams does the job and does it decently enough. Also, did they have a different definition of 'pure' back in the day? This 'pure' badger felt like a silvertip. Maybe it is just me.

Hot water prep
Ali's Blade Raptor razor - Proraso Red sc - Barbershop badger brush - cold water splash - Floid asb - steaming hot towel - hot shower - Acca Kappa 1869 AdC

A relaxing shave, enjoyed to the tunes of Blossom Dearie. The raptor was stropped on red and bare leather, but during the shave I remembered that I was supposed to give this one a few odd more laps on the Thuri, or -come and think of it- even the Coti. Still a good shave, but I want to tweak this edge to my liking. It's sharp alright, but I want smooth too.

well ive been playing with my favorite razor a lot lately and after another 50-60 laps on the Zulu from the Coticule i think i may have over done it just a bit to much ... excellent shave capabilities but just has that feel of to sharp so to speak .. very smooth but i dont know , maybe i got to used to the Coti edge ..lol..

Dopo Barba di Camaldoli Aftershave

After this aftershave you don´t need a EdT. That's enough for the whole day.



It's nice to be back home. Our tour ended a little earlier. The weather was very wet. Below water, above water and wet clothes - with children then this is less funny.
Overall, it was very nice and relaxing. Here's a picture. With lots of wind on the water, it goes through Dresden, the capital of Saxony.

Have a nice day!
