FAVOURITE RAZOR 2, SOTD "themed week" October 3rd - October 9th 2011

[BladeRunner001]

Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 24mm Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger
Maxterpiece: 6/8" T.R. Cadman & Sons "Bengall", Full Hollow Ground, Spike Point (w/ Original Ivory scales)
Strop: 15/50 laps (Torolf Linen / Ambrose Horse Hide Clásico leather)
Überlather: Jack Black "Macademia/Soy" Shave Creme + Bath House "Spanish Fig/Nutmeg" Shave Soap + Glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer
After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue AS
After Shave Balm: RazoRock AS wax
Cologne: Bath House "Spanish Fig/Nutmeg" EdC
Results: This Bengall is always a pleasure to use. Max restored this beauty with all original parts and she still looks like she just came off the factory floor. The BH software was equally a delight to break out. Splendid scent and a great lather make for a wonderful shaving experience

. The Bengall had absolutely no issues mowing the left over whiskers that decided to fly in the face of wisdom and challenge her. Another BBS and smooth shave

. I am ready to hit the road and tackle what's sure to turn into a "nasty" Los Angeles commute...all for a 1.5 hr meeting. I guess some businesses have not heard of Skype

.

Have a TERRIFIC Thursday gentlemen

[darrelino]

Preshave: Hot water
Lather: Arko Stick, lathered on the face
Brush: BAJA Pure Badger
Razor: vom Cleff "Bull Head", 1900's
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel
AfterShave: Vintage Chanel
Moisturizer: Linea Bimbi Crema Emolliente
EDT: Chanel Antaeus

The Bull Head is very light, seemed to whistle on the stones. Then 30 strops linen, 20 leather.



First experiment with a shave stick. The Arko lathered up nicely, exploding foam with the butterscotch Baja. Two passes, as usual, the first covering everything wtg and the second xtg in zones. Other than a nick as a result of a moment's inattentiveness, a nice, clean shave.
