Pre-Shave: Hot shower
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 . 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. 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
. Everything in life should work out this good. I should be receiving my Thäter brush later today...Off to make this Friday count and finish the week strong.
TGIF brothers...Have an OUTSTANDING end of the week
