Razor: Muehle Chrome Stylo
Blade: Gillette Bleue
Brush: Rooney 1/2 Finest
Soap: Klar Kabinett
AS: D.R. Harris Pink
Cologne: C&S #88
Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Razor: 7/8" Solingen Stainless (Friodur Blank), 1/4 Hollow, Round Point
Brush: 22mm Vulfix Super Badger
Überlather: Trumper's Violet Shave Creme + Mama Bear's "Victorian Violets" Shave Soap + Glycerin
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-Free Moisturizer
After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Amber
Result: Today was a good test of this beauty's performance, especially after a no-shave Sunday. I got this beautiful Solingen Stainless from David (aka, Cadomniel). The scales are snakewood and the blade is made from Friodur Blanks (at least that is my understanding). The edge was in need of a little honing TLC. Being a 1/4 hollow and ss, it took a little bit longer than usual to set the bevel to an even tone using the Naiwa 1k. But once she was there and cutting hair, the progression to the Coticule (La Grosse Blanche) and the Kiita/Asagi JNat finisher was effortless. The reward was an astonishingly sharp, yet smooth edge. And what they say is true: spending time on the bevel is key to achieving the proper edge (I am still perfecting this step). Trumper's and Mama Bear's Violet combo was a delight to the senses. What a way to start Monday. The Solingen had no problems with my thick, 24 hr beard...mowed through that bush like a hot knife through butter. Monday is off to a fabulous start.
