FAVOURITE RAZOR, SOTD "themed week" September 19th - September 25th 2011

[BladeRunner001]

Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 24mm Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger
Maxterpiece: 13/16" Dubl Duck "Satinedge", Full Hollow Ground, Spike Point (w/ G10 Jade Ghost scales + Hunter Orange wedge)
Strop: 20/60/20 (Neil Miller Linen / Imperial Horsehide leather / Imperial Cordovan leather)
Überlather: jack Black "Macademia/Soy" Shave Creme + Ogallala "Bay Rum/Sweet Orange" Shave Soap + Glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer
After Shave Splash: Ogallala "Bay Rum/Sage/Cedar" AS
Results: Another flawless shave today . I hadn't shaved with any of my Dubl Ducks in some time and yet this Satinedge has managed to maintain her edge ever so eloquently during my absence. Just a few "Gaussian" laps around the strops refreshed her edge to nothing short of excellent . Ogallala Bay Rum is always a pleasure to break out (whether it be the soap or as the post shave routine). BBS and ready for a busy Monday

.

Have a TERRIFIC Monday gentlemen .

Happy birthday, Marco. Only 34! I have shoes that are older than you. Have a great day, my friend.

Thank you kindly, Jim! Do you seriously have shoes that are older than me?

Thank you kindly, Jim! Do you seriously have shoes that are older than me?

Yes, my friend. I have a pair of shoes that I bought in 1973 when I first started a new job in NYC. I have kept them all those years!

Hardware:

• Gillette Blue tip
• Derby blade
• Superior 35mm SBB
• Weller bowl

Software:

• J. M. Fraser's SC (In all it's lemony goodness)
• Witch hazel
• Lord and Master AS (This stuff is really growing on me, and it's cheap.)
• Lucky Tiger Vanishing Cream

Blue Tip is a fave, but not the favorite. Nice and forgiving and hard not to like.
