Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Razor: Iwasaki 2-chou gake (二丁垳) Kamisori
Brush: 22mm New Forest Silvertip Badger
Überlather: Floris "JF" Shave Creme + Floris "JF" Triple Milled Shave Soap + Glycerin
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer
Cologne: Creed Original Vetiver
Results: I received this Iwasaki a couple of weeks ago and decided to field test it today. Firstly, her tip is certainly mellower than my Hanamasa Kamosori, indicating a less than worrisome shave. Secondly, the blade is much heavier (by weight) than the Hanamasa...I love the feel of this beauty in my hands. The waxed cotton handles provided for a secure grip during my shave. The Floris überlather set the stage for this wonderful shave by providing for a super moisturizing and thick lather and a scent that is out of this world. The Iwasaki had no problem wiping the 24-hr stubble from my face. A beautiful shave indeed; BBS and smooth all the way.

I am ready for tonight...we are going for a dinner cruise to celebrate my cousin's 60th (surprise) birthday. I am looking forward to seeing my 2nd cousins (Some of you may have heard of them, The Hughes Brothers...they produced/directed the "Book of Eli", among other movies)...it's been too long.

2 shots for your viewing pleasure (from different angles). Have a great Tuesday guys

Awesome pic and set up :thumbup:
 
This little Apollo razor I picked up glides nicely, possibly due to the heavy guard bar or the thick chrome plating. Or maybe it's the shaving cream...

I have been trying to use up some products in order to tidy my den somewhat. The Arko stick was finished yesterday and I am starting on the remains of my Tabac puck this morning- I guess that it will last less than a month. After using something for a week or two, it is easier to decide whether or not the product is worthwhile......
 
Thursday:
Geo.F.Trumper brush
T.O.B.S Avocado s/c
Merkur HD
Proraso a/s splash
First shave with the Merkur for a long time and very comfortable :thumbup:
