Prep: |Hot Shower / Hot towel soak / Rise Baby Face Shave Gel Rubbed in thoroughly each pass
Razor: |5/8 Dixon Full Hollow 'The New Improved Eagle' in Crosscut Maple & 6/8 W&B Extra Hollow Barbers Notch in Burled Maple

Brush: |24mm Silvertip in American Ash by WillN
Uber: |Godrej RazoRock XXX + 4 drops Glycerine
AS: |Alum + Gillette Sensitive Skin Balm + Pinaud Clubman
Edc: |Canoe (scent matches so good with the Clubman, great combo!)
Result: |First rate shave while testing these two beauties. Both scales were made by my friend Don B. and I put a fresh honing on them both after 6 months of my abusing them. They both shaved incredibly well. DFS in 2 passes. RazoRock never fails me, I lather up after rubbing in some Rise baby face gel, very deeply rubbed in. The deeper you rub it in the smoother the shave! What a great Sunday Morning shave, 2 days growth gone in an eye blink!






Have a great Sunday Brothers!

Sunday night:

Turkish horse hair brush Nr. 6
Wilkinson Sword stick, face lathered and bowl lathered
Schick Krona w. ASCO red, first pass
Super Adjustable, P-1, set at 3, w. Shark SS, subsequent passes
Target witch hazel
Body Shop Razor Relief, <2009 formula

Third shave with the Wilkinson stick. The Nr. 6 brush holds more water and makes the first lather on the face thinner, but still thicker and drier than to my liking on the first pass. In subsequent passes the lather was whipped up in a bowl, adding water to suit. Result, DFS to near-BBS.

I had a buddys birthday party to go attend this evening hence the late post but thanks to an epic shave, I felt like a million bucks!
I really am getting used to the bismark alot quicker than the astrale that I originally tried. Still need the fatboy for the neck and the ATG passes but I'm
getting a great WTG and XTG from the Bismark on my cheeks. Hope everyone's weekend was awesome!
