Pre-shave: Warm water rinse
Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89BL
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
Soap: GC Veil of Shadows
Brush: Rubberset 153 with Shavemac 2-band
Balm: Stirling Unscented
And a splash of Dark Necessities

Razor and brush were a generous gift, and a the free sample of soap makes this a fairly cheap shave. It was fantastic. Happy shaves!

One more for Cheap Week. The brush has a story. It is a Jayaruh brush, made by a craftsman in North Carolina who does it more as a hobby. Usually, he uses wood from his property and surrounding areas, but this one was made from the nub end of a Louisville Slugger baseball bat. It has a Whipped Dog silvertip knot. Total cost was about as much as a good boar brush.

ASL: Caffรจ Latte [home brew]

A great shave. :biggrin:


Happy shaves guys. :cornut:
Hiya Cal lovely razor and photographic composition by the way; does your homebrew caffe latte aftershave smell of lovely morning coffee then LOL? still using your Hogwarts "Steam Train" fragrance - Good suggestion - Thanks mate.

Acquired a synthetic Dragons Blood fragrance and it wasn't the best so made my own - it's only 4 ingredients - Patchouli, Rose, Bitter Orange and Cedar - I used real essential oils; much better.

Also got a bottle of synthetic Lime, Basil and Mandarin and it was a bit yucky so did my own mix with real oils - totally different to the cheap fragrance.
