Second shaving with this cream .. this time I liked it more, adding a little water, excellent shave :thumbup:

Second time around worked more favourably did it, Luis? Another attempt with the red and a straight is obviously a necessity!

I recently refreshed this blade for the first time since Glen restored it for me. It held the edge well before, and was smooth as silk today. It took one pass to a near BBS. I think this is the only sheffield steel that I personally own, but I like the way it fits my face. What a way to start the day with an Arlington trifecta!

You're speaking my language here, Bill! :biggrin1: A triple dose of Arlington does wonders, and the shave comes as close to perfection as possible also!:wink2::laugh: I have only ever owned one Wosty, but it was too small for my liking so sold it.

Pre Jabonman Romero + "old" Omega lanolin shaving cream + Omega 10098 + UFO U2 Long with Feather Portable head and Polsilver Super #3 + Razorock Wax Eucaliptus with "old" Williams Sport splash


A smooth shave, although mixing this Razorock Wax with splashes is not a good idea... too dense!


Cheers!

May be on a winter's day it would work, but it sounds too much at this time of year(he says looking outside to cloud and rain!):biggrin1: Beautifully taken pic for sure!:thumbup:

You can't miss with the Arlington, that's for sure! This Wosty is great. It has a wonderful heft to it as a frameback, and the restoration turned out immaculate!
 
Good Morning !

KimSon VU Silvertip \\ Merkur Progress w/ Red IP \\ Proraso Crema Pre E Dopo Barba \\ Mystic Water Lime SS \\ GFT Sandalwood Skin Food

So for this weeks theme, my shaves are going to be incredible. The reason why I say that is b/c I know exactly what products are going to be. I know I get to use my all time fav MWF which is from the UK. As well as the following Artisan SS by Sharon Nanny's Silly Soaps which smell just awesome. And Mike's Naturals SS which is like MWF IMO that is scented. I'm pretty confident what others will be using as well b/c its obvious with this week's theme for SOTD! You all have a wonderful day friends!

Hope you are enjoying your time of relaxation, Balaji! It makes life fairly easy to know what the week ahead shaves are going to consist of. I plan, and take all my pics for the whole week on Sundays. Easy, unless like yesterday you find you can't upload them to the computer or Photobucket! Problem now solved though! Unfortunately I don't have much in the way of US products, only a strop and a couple of restorations from Max.

I surely am my friend, appreciate it! Its quite interesting changing back to your normal routine, after taking a semesters class in 6 weeks and working full time. As well as knowing that I'm going to be enjoying my morning shaves a lot more. As for the US products, doesn't matter b/c at least it's better than nothing. Also majority of my items are from around the world than MWaters and MNS and AV Classic Ice Sport AS. You going to US your favorite DRH Arlington? Also GFT and MWF? BTW I'm looking forward to your SOTD pic!
