Thank you. I made several to cover cups and bowls so that I can stack them.

 

I bombed the funk
Hot water wash with a washcloth
Brothers Bristles/ ace black badger
Bombed Cyril R Salter French Vetiver
Matador Elegante
Gillette 7oclock green (1)
Omega Alum
Stirling vetiver a/s milk
Iced Crusellas vetiver
Today's shave was nice. Chilled funk, I added the bomb to the earthy CRS, breathed in the organic goodness,while the Matador took it all away. Finished the funk with a triple treat. Alum, stirling vetiver a/s milk (also funky in its grassy self), then iced Crusellas to bring it all home. I'm smooth, cool, soft, and smellin' nice.
Hope you can bomb the funk too.

Right nice shave. All things liked each other and I'm ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

Nice idea Jim! Thinking about adding a new product line?

 

Love the effects Jim!

 

Thank you, Mark!

 

SOTD: Test-drive of this vintage Böker 'Silver Steel' 5/8" fresh off the hones (this lovely razor belongs to @SharptoothC - Chris); Stirling 'Orange Chill' tallow soap, Stirling 24mm 'Kong' synthetic brush, Stirling 'Executive Man' aftershave balm. Three passes with BBS results. Really a sweet razor! Have a great Tuesday, gents!

 

How is the CTS? Did it hurt when you shaved?

 

Man, you've got some great looking straight razors.

 

1919 Penn Adjustable with original Penn blade. Better then expected, DFS head and beard shave with some touch ups. Breaking in the new Omega brush before it goes in for its B-400 transplant.

Have a great day!​

 

If I were to use my CTS-afflicted hand...yes it would hurt.
Today and yesterday's shaves were completed using my other hand (non-dominant right hand only). No blood. Just slow & steady.
The process took considerably longer than most shaves, but this was to be expected.
