Razor:J.A. Henckels 33 Near Wedge
Brush: Omega 10098 Professional Boar
Lather: WSP Formula T Bay Rum (Tallow Base)
Astringent: Osma Alum block
Splash: Ogallala Bay Rum Lime and Peppercorn.
The Omega Boar whipped up a yogurt like lather from the WSP Formula T soap that was nice and slick providing lots of cushion and protection against razor burn.
With zero irritation and on nicks or blood. Love this near wedge razor it's always a great performer when I do my part.
What a great way to end the day. Shave on fella's.

Great setup and soap. This reinterpretation of the famous P.160 is really nice, not to mention the “Riva yacht” overall look of the lid !
I wonder if the people who owned this before me enjoyed the shaves as much?
I can't imagine. A really great shaver.

Sheffield steel was one of the best in its day, but like everything sadly lost to time.
An expertly honed birthday gift Gold Dollar from Slash McCoy:
A game of follow the leader today with the two available razors I have available out here. What I did was the first pass with one razor for each side of my face, then switched razors for the second pass. It taught me a lot about the differences and similarities in both razors and I feel like I’ve really learned their quirks and personalities quite well after this shave! Used Martin de Candre from a little sample tin since the full size is super pricey. I really like it though! Very refreshing awakening scent, and I Only used very little and got a full rich lather. It may be worth Picking up the regular size down the road

Marvelous shave today. Wanted to see if my first attempt at a coticule worked as well as it seemed in last Sunday's shave. Yup, it did. Smooth and sharp today.

Brian Brown shorty, bellied half hollow, an unusual grind.
