Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Razor: 6/8" Thiers-Issard "Eagle", Full Hollow, Spanish Point
Brush: 25mm Vestavia Silvertip Badger
Strop: Neil Miller Linen (50 laps) + SRD Premium IV Leather (70 laps)
Überlather: Al Raz' Custom Shave Creme + Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap + Glycerin
Astringent: Thayer's Witch hazel (Lavender, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Dr. Hauschka's Quince Creme
Cologne: Penhaligon Endymion
Result: This Eagle certainly knows how to hunt its prey. She has a very keen eye for those pesky little, soft, almost invisible peach fuzz...you know the kind I am talking about; those that no matter what you do, never seem to want to go away. Well...they may run, but they can't hide from the eyes of this master predator. After spotting its target, the Eagle dove for the kill...nothing is immune from the sharp talons of this skilled predator...before I could even realize what was happening during each pass, all the hair was wiped clean...one clean swoop. ALL GONE!! This bird of prey is truly the reincarnation of the "Angel of Death" or Azrael, working ever so harmoniously with Al's creme to bring about a wave of death and destruction, from whose ashes I was witness to the birth and rise of the proverbial Phoenix; a newly rejuvenated and "reincarnated" skin.

Predopobarba Proraso
Semogue 105
L'Occitane CADE savon à raser
Mühle R89
Gillette Bleue Extra
Thayers Witch Hazel Lavender
Bálsamo Nivea Sensitive

This little Semogue 105 works very well with CADE. Maybe because CADE is a soap that doesn't like too much water? The brush hasn't exploded yet, but it is getting softer, and already makes a beautiful lather.

Hardware:
  • Merkur 38c
  • Derby blade
  • B&B Essential
  • Weller bowl

Software:
  • SCS Pumkin soap (sample I got from a previous order)
  • Witch hazel
  • SCS Bay Rum w/Twist ASB

To celebrate, honor, remember the season and Halloween, I tried the sample of the pumpkin scented soap. The soap, as always, is a superb performer and scent wasn't bad at all. I think I will stick with the savory rose scent, though.

  • SuperMax (3) from DE Shaver
  • Re knotted Ever ready from Harvitz81
  • Province Sante Green Tea
  • La Toja

Excellent shave - the SuperMax blades perform wonderfully in the NEW, and the low loft TGN knot from Havrits81 is breaking in very nicely - whipped up the Province Sante into a creamy batch in no time.
