  • Goodfella Black and Chrome with a Feather
  • Savile Row 2824 Best Badger
  • Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet Shaving Bowl
  • Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet After Shave Balm
  • Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet Eau d' Toilette
 
This morning's shave for your consideration:

Razor: NDC Super Speed
Blade: Derby Extra
Brush: Simpson Duke 1 in Best
Scuttle: Robert Becker
Lather: Ogalalla Bay Rum soap + Arko Moist cream
AS: Skin Bracer Original

NB: I probably won't use that lather combo again. The scent of the Arko completely overwhelmed the bay rum. I will use a more neutral soap next time. My CADE has virtually no scent so that is probably the best choice.

Have a great work/school week, Gents!

This weekend, I took the Fili back to my JNats to see if I couldn't improve the edge a bit from my first attempt honing this blade. It didn't seem to want to cut the beard at first. I couldn't tell if it was just tugging or what the problem was with the edge. In the end, I did two passes plus touch up and wound up with an incredibly smooth BBS and no razor burn. That said, I wasn't a big fan of the edge I got.



Under my microscospe, the edge is a smooth, hazy finish like I think I'm supposed to get, but then again, I don't know what I don't know about honing! I'm thinking I may have to step back down my hone progression and rework the edge a bit more at the lower grits...
