AN OSCAR WORTHY SHAVE

...And a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Marco and his family:clap::clap:


Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 23mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger
Maxterpiece: 6/8" Wyeth "Trade Mark Warranted", 1/2 hollow (stiff) ground, Round Point (w/ Bone Linen Micarta scales + Black Paper Micarta wedge)
Honing (Refresh): 5 laps on CrOx leather
Strop: 5/45/70 laps (Torolf Linen / SRD Premium IV English Bridle leather / Ambrose Horsehide Clàsico leather)
Soapreme: RazoRock "Ltd. Ed." Shave Creme + Mama Bear's "Almond" Shave Soap + Glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose, no alcohol)
After Shave Splash: Proraso AS
Cologne: Acca Kappa "1869" EdT
After Shave Balm: eShave "Almond" ASB
Results: Both wife and I have been sporting a cold for a few days now :sad:, but it seems like it's the tail end of the viral life cycle. This was written on the walls; running hard for a few months and being bombarded and exposed to "sick" people will test anyone's immune system. THE BAD: we have quarantined ourselves and will not be seeing family this week. THE GOOD: This shave was fabulously refreshing:nj. Despite a stiffer grind, this Wyeth is a terrific performer and she can certainly hold a fantastic edge:y. Loved the über I made with RR & MB combo :001_wub:. Smoooth and BBS and ready for the Oscar's tonight:001_smile (Go Billy).

At its eighth turn, the blade is still running smoothly and cuts like a dream.
