All Things Custom...
Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 26mm Rudy Vey w/ TGN Grade A Silvertip Badger (Kingwood handles)
Razor: 7/8" Joe Chandler Custom, 1/4 Hollow Ground, Barber's Notch (w/ Mexican Kingwood scales)
Honing Regimen: Naniwa SS 1k/5k/8k/12k, followed by Maruka Nakayama Asagi JNat w/ Tomonagura slurry with progressive dilution finished on water alone. Finished with 8 (light) laps on CrOx on sanded SRD Premium IV Bridle leather
Strop: 0/50 laps (Torolf Linen / Ambrose Horse Hide Clásico leather)
Überlather: Al's "Custom Spicy" Shave Creme + Mama Bear's "Myrrh" Shave Soap + Glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose, no alcohol)
After Shave Balm: Al's "Spicy Orange" ASB
Results: Today's shave is brought to you by the all American Custom Makers (Al's Bomb and MB software, Rudy Vey Brush and Joe Chandler razor)...well except the stones. I scored/negotiated this Joe Chandler last week with a seller on eBay and I honestly didn't know what to expect. However, when I opened the package, I was very pleasantly surprised to see her in such pristine condition. The mirror shine is amazing as are the Mexican Kingwood scales (love the grain). Beautiful workmanship from the overall design of the worked back spine to the the thumb notch and monkey tail. All very nice and elegant touches. The only (minor) flaw was that the tang seems to be a bit on the longer side for me. But I must admit that this is no longer a concern as it took me no time to adjust to this style of shaving and the technique came naturally after a few strokes. Even though she was shave ready, I didn't take any chances and off to the stones she went. She took on an amazingly smooth edge. The Rudy Vey whipped up mounds of uberlicious lather out of the MB/Bomb concoction (love the scent). I was disappointed with my first WTG pass as there was still 40% of stubble left. Subsequent XTG was better and going ATG with this razor was a dream come true. I do not know why I had so much stubble left during the 1st pass, but I attribute that to my technique as the razor performed flawlessly during ATG. More time with this JC would certainly be in the books in the future.
Max: This JC will be headed your way in the next few weeks for your perusal as well as visual and personal pleasure. I would love to hear your opinion on the razor and the edge I put on her. Feel free to tweak it.
Have a BEAUTIFUL Sunday gentlemen.

Nice and pleasant two pass shave. Clean as a whistle. Smell great too.
Enjoy the remnants of your weekend, Gentlemen!
This post isn't about today's shave. I just want to say that the consistently amazing photos seen here are inspirational.
I took a couple hours to read online tutorials on using the GIMP and I've been able to learn how to use layers and selectively colorize parts of a photo. All the inspiration comes from the other B&Bers.
Thanks!
This is a rare thing for me, but I've used the same straight razor twice in a row. This Charlex lately has been my favorite and I've been reaching for it more than all other razors.

Thank you Robert, you're not the only one who loves that razor.
If you want another opinion, Robert, I'd be glad to oblige!!!!

Nice Chandler, Robert. There is no mistaking Joe's razors, they are BIG. Wish he was still making them.
Amazing shaves and pictures all around...can't wait to get my camera back!

Thanks Robert, it was supposed to be today but my sister forgot it She borrows it because she has long photo shoot sessions and she uses it as a back up...cant be mad at her she gave it to me for free Hopefully, in a day or two I will participate again! I have been enjoying all the amazing shots you guys have been posting and also have been digging into some old SOTD threads and it is amazing to see how they have developed to what they are today and some products that have been used like 5 years ago !
Then hang in there buddy. Two days go back in a flash
You know...just last week I was thinking about exactly what you brought up - i.e., how SOTD has evolved over time. I think it'll be interesting to have our Moderator (Henry) and our Steward (Marco) go back a few years and choose a compilation of representative photos, during different times and post them into a thread called "SOTD - The Evolution" or "SOTD - Past & Present" or something reflective of that theme.
David,
What a nice Cadelicious shave today. Well done
