Custom(less) Shave (and a very tough Saturday to live with)
​

Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 26mm Saville Row 3326 Silvertip Badger
Razor: 15/16" Böker #14 "Arbolito", Full Hollow, (muted) Spike Point (Black Horn scales by Max)
Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller linen/Premium IV leather
Überlather: Cyril Salter "Sublime Citrus" Shave Creme + Glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer
After Shave Splash: Alt Innsbruck
Results: I don't have any customs

(yet), so I decided to pull out this Böker Arbolito I got a couple of weeks ago from Marc (aka, Muscles), a member in Australia. I am not much in a mood to write a descriptive today so you guys will have to accept my apologies (we just heard that my father in law has passed away...no more suffering for him

). Great shave with a very heavy heart. My wife's has taken this news very very hard.

I will be off making proper arrangements (I may not respond quickly). I will keep you guys posted soon. Please keep my wife and her family in your prayers and thoughts in this very tough time.

Robert, I'm very very sorry to hear about that. All my heart is with you and your family. And yes, my prayers will certainly be with you in this very tough time. Should you need any kind of support, please feel free to contact me anytime, my friend.

Great weather today, the sun is shining from a blue sky and the snow is finally melting.

After three "shaveless" days it was an exceptional pleasure to shave today. I had the house all by myself and took the time for a long hot shower, and even better time with the shave. Honed this swede earlier this week and it did what it's made for, it chopped down three days of growth like a hot knife in butter, one of the smoothest, closest shaves ever

The morning sun was streaming in the kitchen window, so I decided to take advantage of it.
I met all my old cronies during my morning constitutional. Everyone is out of winter hibernation and taking in the sun's warmth. It's still crisp out, but one can tell that winter is on the run. It made me feel like grapping for "The Veg..."

A glorious morning's shave!

I Pearce 13/16 // GFT Rose // Rooney XL // Floid Vigoroso

This I Pearce is now one of my favorite razors I own. Picked it up from the Doyle auction and it was once owned by Judge Lummus. I only did a light restore on it to keep it as original as possible.

Lummus date's these razors from the mid to late 1830s for this style of wide heel tapering to a narrow toe (only 4/8 at the toe). Usually I have problems on the heels of smiling blades, but this one gave me problems on the toe (more than likely cause of the reverse taper). I got a very good shave, but the toe does need a little more work. Next time I shave with this I'll even that out.
