You can get a BBS out of a Tech it just takes longer and a bit of help, for my last pass & touchups I put in some shims and hey presto a BBS, strange how the BB always shaves better on the second shave, a blade I always forget about but is a true joy to use.

Very good shave this morning despite lather that was a little thin (I may have not shaken the brush enough)...but with a few touch up passes the results are as good as I get with the straight.

SOTD Wednesday August 4, 2010

Razor: 5/8 Geo. Wostenholm Pipe Razor Full Hollow, Round Point
Shaving Cream: Ingram
Lather Bowl: Ceramic
Scuttle: RAB Ceramic
Brush: Col Conk Barbershop Badger
ASB: Nivea Replenishing
Aftershave: Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue

The Ingram Shave Cream was great! Lots of cushion and glide similar to the Erasmic. The scent of the Ingrams was very pleasant. It has a clean Linen scent and reminds me of clean laundry. There must be a little menthol in there as well. It felt nice and cool very refreshing on a 96F day! It didn't hold it's lather as well as the Erasmic but it would rejuvenate immediately with a few drops of water and a stir with the brush. Excellent shave cream!
