    Rob(or someone there)e-mailed me to say Fields&Streams is his personal favorite. I'll look over the balms, thanks

    Saturday Straight's Shave
    zcws.gif

    Proraso Pre Shave
    Williams Mug Shave Soap
    JR#206 2-band Badger
    Luxor Pro Master
    Voskhod Teflon Coated
    CWR
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Vegetal

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face-lathered well with the JR #206 2-band Badger brush. I did two passes with the Luxor Pro Master Razor with a Voskhod Teflon Coated half-blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Edit: True confessions time. I am admitting to introducing another razor into this shave. I used my new Henckels Rapide wedge on my right cheek just as a test. I was very happy to find out that it is up to the task. So, tomorrow, I am going to use the other Henckels wedge in my Gem Jr. for a test. I plan to be using the Henckels all next week. I may or may not be sending my wedges to @twhite for honing.

    A very fine speedy shave (had early labs). Excellent 2 pass, WTG/ATG with clean ups after each pass 1 small nick, cold water rinse took care of it. AS and done. Total time was 23 mins. I`m happy anytime I get a BBS. Wishing for the same for all. God Bless.
