Happy Father’s Day all! Didn’t change anything…this combo has been delivering fantastic shaves. RA 6/8; Grooming Dept Vertu soap; Chinese Boar brush; homemade Absinthe and Bay Rum AS.

Koraat, Port-au-Prince and Clubman Special Reserve splash. It's hotter than doom out so I'm crazy to pick such a heavy scent combo, but I don't care.

Filarmonica 14 DT with a Nakayama maru-ka kiita edge from one of @alx gilmore stones from years ago, just sublime. Pre-shave and cream were SMN lathered with an @oscar11 brush, and a bit of Myrsol Agua Balsamica finished up a fine Sunday shave.

Razor is a Jatco 302 which is my most dangerous razor by far. The point is unmuted so I only use it when I want to liven things up a bit. The difference between a shave and a filleting is small so I've only ever used it twice but it gives a very close shave.
This actually came with a Wade & Butcher 1" in a double box which was highly unusual.
Shave - 8/10
Excitement - 10/10

Just before the great heat started:

• Preshave: Hot Shower, some Baby-Oil and Proraso greem PS
• Razor: Ralf Aust, 6/8" round point, after 14 rounds of stropping, three passes (WTG-XTG-ATG) and some corrections
• Shaving Soap: Mühle aloe vera
• Brush: Wilkinson Sword
• Bowl: the small one from Mühle
• AS: Extró Violetta AS
• ASB: Nivea Men Sensitive ASB
• Frag: Calvin Klein Obsession for Men.

The Aust, which was my very first real SR, behaved as last time. A little tremor in the left hand caused no cuts. I hope I can maintain the sharp edge as long as possible. In the background you can see a Grey Slate, which is considered to be a fine and cheap finisher. It was my 16th shave with a straight today.
Smooth and close shave; 9,9/10.

Hi gents,
This morning...

Love the custom "Kamijo case" ... those certainly do not come standard.

 

[alex1921]

Looks like a case Florin made.

Last minute Father's Day shave. LOTH informed me earlier that there wasn't time for one of my 'two hours shaves', so I snuck in a 20 minute shave just before midnight.

Wacker 'Sunday' from the 7 day set
vintage Red Imp strop
Tabac and an unbranded German boar
witch hazel and homebrew Texas 10X AS (vodka sample, a boatload of menthol crystals plus a mint leaf in the bottle for scent and color)

Th..th..th..that's all, folks.

Manufacture Francaise d'Armes de St. Étienne. Stirling Bergamot and Lavender and some Lilac Vegetal to finish.

Today with the next SR in my small collection (#17):

• Preshave: Hot Shower, some Baby-Oil and Proraso green PS
• Razor: NOS Fritz Bracht Dovo 78 1/2, 11/16", round point, after 14 rounds of stropping, three passes (WTG-XTG-ATG) and some corrections
• Shaving Cream: D.R. Harris Windsor SC
• Brush: TOBS Big Badger
• Bowl: the black one from Mühle
• AS: D.R. Harris Windsor AS
• ASB: Nivea Men Sensitive ASB
• Frag: D.R. Harris Windsor EdT.

This ex NOS Fritz Bracht changed his brilliant sharpness from the beginning to a more sharp smoothness, which can very much be compared to the Ralf Aust I used yesterday. After three regular passes, I did some corrections to optain a DE-like closeness all over my face. No nicks, lots of fun and a great skin feeling again. Used both hands equally where possible. To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II., I used some Windsor software.
Nice and close shave; 9,9/10.

Kai Captain shavette with Feather Professional Light blade
It was my first attempt and was not great. No cuts, just lots of razor burn.

 

[Possum092]

Tried a couple new products today. Switched Grooming Dept soaps and used ToBS No. 74. Kept the RA 6/8 because the blade has been delivering great shaves.
