Love the Red Tip Joseph.

 

Good looking gear Bob.

 

Jayaruh #179 custom hand-turned brush

 

Tonight's shave was with a German razor. It is wickedly sharp, since the SB Arkie Progression stone. I had a super smooth and noisy 2 pass shave, that left me silky smooth. Zero issues.
I don't use this one much, because it's just too pretty, and does not have much character to it. But, it is a great razor.

Razor- J.A.Henckel's 70 1/2. Zwillingswerk. Solingen.
Brush- Zenith Boar
Soap- Stirling Ozark Mountain
Aftershave- Avon Spicy

Thanks Doug. Derek did a great job with the handle. After trying 3 different knots I settled with the Cashmere but may drop in a Manchurian or a 2'band in down the road. I thought I had a Romera Manchurian but it was a Silvertip and I thought the Silvertip looked better in the blue handle I used in today's shave. I really like how the TDG bowls whip up a quick lather and glad I came across them. Well worth the money spent in my humble opinion.

 

what a great-looking brush that is!!

 

Just another outstanding photo. Great job Guy.

WTG, touch up

Very nice shave with Stirling Iced Pineapple this evening. I switched out the Twinjector after the first pass and before the clean up. I think that was three or four shaves on that blade. The new one felt nice and smooth. Overall enjoyable shave.

Have a great evening!
