Friday 5th September


Omega 10108 Boar - Nannys Silly Soaps 'Down Home Summer' - Focus Slim Al/Med Prep - Lustray Coachman

Down Home Summer is a strange name for this soap. It sounds as if it should be citrus based but is in fact Lavender and Vetiver which gives the soap a balanced earthy scent. An excellent shave with the focus. It is still my favourite 1/2 DE razor

Since this thread is titled 'What Shavette / Barber Razor Did You Use Today?' ...

Prep: None
Brush: None
Lather: None
Razor: IBC barber razor
Blade: Laser Ultra 1/2 DE
Post: Pass-Thru RJ45 connector attached and crimped

I replaced both ends of a CAT6 network cable this evening and used my IBC to gently cut the outer casing without nicking the twisted pairs of wires inside. I just laid the cable across the cut outs in the scales and gently pushed the shank down (like I was closing the shank into the scales) as I twisted the cable. I did not like the Laser Ultra DE blades for shaving, but they work well for this purpose (and making shims for DE razors).

That was as close to shaving I came today but I plan to shave tomorrow.
