Last night's second shave

HD/SP
G5
VDH Boar
'02-'03 Williams Mug Soap
Cold water splash

Disappointing shave. Might have been the pool swim and lack of shower beforehand. Could have been the low level brush. Might have been the anejo.

Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 25mm Custom Shavemac D01 Silvertip Badger
Maxterpiece: 6/8" C.V. Heljestrand #32, 1/2 Hollow Ground, French Point (w/ Butterscotch Micarta)
Strop: 30/45/65 (Neil Miller Linen / HandAmerican "Pegasus III" Horsehide / HandAmerican "Pegasus III" Cordovan leather)
Überlather: eShave "Almond" Shave Creme + Mama Bear "Almond" Shave Soap + Glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer
After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue AS
After Shave Balm: eShave "Almond" ASB
Cologne: Creed "Original Santal" EdT
Results: Yesterday, I received a brand new HandAmerican strop from Jim at "The Imperial Shave". The Pegasus III is truly luxury at its best. It has a regular Horse and a Cordovan horsehide with whopping dimensions of 3" x 30" and soft as heck. I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of this strop and thoroughly enjoyed my experiences dealing with Jim. I took out another Maxterpiece today (surprise

), i.e., the Helje #32. I gave her 30 lashes on the Neil Miller linen, 45 on the horsehide and 65 on the cordovan. I was honestly scared of that edge and for a second, I was seriously having second thoughts about shaving with her. But she delivered a smooth as butter shave. I love this blade (then again, what else is new

?). I am ready for what's sure to be a busy Saturday with family

. The nephews are out this weekend racing with their dad.

Have a SPECTACULAR Saturday gentlemen
