    Rick, thanks for complimenting my new avatar. Truthfully, I never watched the BB series, but I have seen clips of it.

    I like old-times shaves, Terry! It is one of the reasons that I decided to learn and shave with a straight razor!

    Thanks Jim, I like how the polished brass and stainless steel looks together. Are you excited about the C8 reveal tonight?

    Today, I decided to go with the ball-end tech. Reliable, drama-free tech. Soap was Edwin Jagger Sea Buckthorn. Decent scent, a little on the light side. Ourstanding slickness. I think I'll have to get it back out this weekend and try it with a straight. Yeah, that kind of slick. Tomorrow I'll have another go at the 1914.

    Thanks Terry, it will be interesting to see if a polished Karve plate shaves smoother than a non polished one.

    Just July 2019

    July 18

    Razor - Muhle R41
    Blade - [​IMG] (3)
    Soap - Stirling Barbershop
    Brush - 30DC Meet UP LE 2019
    Post - Alum

    One more shave on the R41 with Sharp Star. It's "That'll do Thursday" and Stirling Barbershop definitely does the trick. The meet up brush made an easy and luxurious lather out of the soap and gave a cushy and slick track for the big razor to work on. Two passes and some touch up and it's a near-BBS and that's close enough. I'm trying to run through things a bit early tonight as I have an early appointment in the morning. As in 5:45 early which, for me, is completely out of character. Told you the guy I work for is a slave driver.

    It's hot in the Lou! But it's hot in a lot of places so enough of that. Have a great Friday and plan on finding something cool to do for the weekend!
