Razors: Freshly honed Wade and Butcher Bow. It's a bit lighter than I prefer (a hair under 6/8, and half hollow) but it shaves very nicely so, for now, it's a keeper.

Wostenholm 8/8 1/4 hollow. Rescaled in Buckeye burl. It's huge. It's smooth. It's fantastic!


SC: AlRaz's The Bomb in Calypso. God, I love my Bombs! Best cream on the market as far as I'm concerned :thumbup:

Brush: 26mm Buckeye Burl. TGN silvertip.

Strop: My freshly built Kangaroo strop. End caps and D-Rings from Tony Miller, Fabric from SRD (new Herringbone cotton... It's really good!) and some Kangaroo leather from an aussie friend. Fantastic!

Results: WTGx2. DFS. Saving some whiskers for another set of scales incoming from ClassicShaving. I've got a Wostenholm Pipe to hone and test.

Cheers!
Jeremy

A sublime shave again today. :thumbup: Glen did a phenomenal job restoring this razor; I couldn't believe it was the same one I sent him when I opened it. It has a heavy, stiff feel to it that really took care of the beard growth!

The view is one of the courtyards by my condominium. I love this place because you can go out and enjoy a quiet moment despite being in a heavily populated area like Northern Virginia/Washington D.C...

Great shaves and incredible views this week, gentlemen. Thanks for sharing, and more importantly, thank you for letting me share!

Beautiful razors you got there, Jeremy. Love the buckeye burl handle on the brush.

Gillette Platinum (9)
Tabac Soap

Boots Fresh Wood ASB

Its dead, it finally died mid way through the shave but I carried on for a CCS, now this Plat was not a "Swede" but a Russian Plat, not bad, so thats 8 & 9 shaves out of Russian Plats and I have a heavy beard and can shave twice a day, so this isa blade I must stock up on. The cheapo brush also performed well [trying to brake it in to use as a travel brush].
