Beautiful photo and gear, Keith!

Razor: Dovo Inox
Brush: DSCosmetic Galaxy 26mm Silvertip
PS: Stirling Menthollated and Proraso Green
SS & AS: Stirling Piacenza

All new favorites this month. Great 3 pass shave with the Inox. I'm still getting better and better results with the straight razor. I did get a couple weepers near the corner of my mouth, but nothing serious.

 

Thanks, Perry!
Felce Aromatica is a wonderful scent! Happy to hear you got the set.

Nice, Evan!
Congrats on the progress with the straight!

 

Thank you Jim. I’m glad you brought the Evo to my attention. It’s a great brush. Now I hope Omega offers more handle choices.

Best Holiday shave greetings friends.

Been rolling along with blade sampling Artist Club style blades in my DECadent Feather DX. It will be a while before I sort out my preferences.

I will say that I like the 'guard' type blades. They work better and last longer than I anticipated.

For those who dabbled in the 'Arts of the Dark Side' with one of these tools and got 'blade binked', I can recommend these to be less punitive.

Since my open edge skillset was already in place, I cannot comment on the effectiveness of guard blades as a training tool.

The guards almost look like 'teeth' in the photo. I can assure you they are quite rounded.



For Christmas, the dearly loved estrogen units sought to present the sole intact testosterone unit with a very special gift for his hobby. This is what they came up with.



They found a local bladesmith who had made it to the finals in one of the episodes of 'Forged in Fire'.

Together they came up with an attractive piece made from a forge welded layered billet. The scaling is a milled unit piece of wood & resin. The etching reveals the layered steel and my initials.

While a personalized prize to be had, I have no intent to try to make it a shaving tool. There design differences in between a knife and a razor, this is closer to a knife in many ways. I think I've heard the term RSO (razor shaped object).

Shave on!

Great shave, Evan! As your straight razor shave technique improves, you will eventually want to do it during a weeknight so that you don't have to shave in the morning. Eventually, you will be able to be just as quick as if you are using a DE safety razor. Also, Piacenza is in my top tier of scents!

 

I hope I don't fall in love with a woman who loves clove after-shave!!
