Brush: 24mm Shavemac D01 Silvertip Badger
Razor: 13/16" Geo. Wostenholm "Original Pipe Razor", Full Hollow Ground, Spike Point (w/ Blue Paua scales)
Edge refresh: 5 (light) laps on CrOx-treated Premium IV Leather
Strop: 0/60 laps (Ambrose Horsehide Clásico strop)
Soapreme: Al's "Almond" Shave Creme + RazoRock Italian Master Barber Ltd Ed Shave Soap + Glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose, no alcohol)
After Shave/Cologne Splash: Floïd Italian Blue
After Shave Balm: RazoRock AS Wax
Results: A magnificent shave this AM with the Wosty :thumbsup:. Hadn't shaved since Wednesday and this blade made absolutely no issue of the rough growth...The prep was a combination of Al's new soap soap/creme and the RazoRock Ltd Ed soap - two top notch products:001_wub:. The lather just exploded out of the scuttle and the pure almond scent was a tantalizing delight to the senses. The glide was nothing short of outstanding as was the cushion, moistness and longevity

My 1st SOTD post. Today was my pinning for graduating Nursing school so I wanted a damn fine shave to look good and feel good.

-Shower
-Face lathered a BEA shave stick
-Rooney 2/1 is Super
-Gillette long comb NEW with my Big Boy/Big Fellow hybrid handle, my favorite handle.
-Personna "hospital use" blade
-Lilac witch hazel
...and that's it.

I usually use my "high end" stuff for special occasion shaves but today I just wanted to use what I know would result in an excellent shave.

Damn fine shave!

Mom picked up some La Toja stuff for me in Spain last week, not finding any shaving soap she bought some La Toja goo on can. At least I had to give it a try. The performance wasn't that bad really, quite good glide and cushion, but I just couldn't stand the industrial, synthetic scent, so after the first pass I whipped up some CF Lime lather instead, I have to say it performed a "tad" better... :001_smile
Got my 10 and 30k Shaptons early this week, 30k Shapton+CroX and 0.25 CBN=Totally awesome.
