    Very nice pic, gear and shave Keith! That's a shame that you can't get a great edge from your W&B like your other razors. Yesterday, I had my 37th shave on my 5/8 Wosty since I first honed her and she is still very sharp without any refreshing required.

    Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements PS - Tube 2.0
    Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Switchback 400 w/26mm Omega EVO
    Zingari Man SS - The Wanderer
    Drew Dick 7/8 Damascus
    Zingari Man ASB - Unscented
    Noble Otter AS - BarrBarr

    Behind w/posting.....reading along as I can, still a ~400+ posts behind.....

    Very early shave today, podiatrist appointment to take my father to (all is good). Then very busy with work lately (too busy :shocked029:). I'll take it. Busy is good. :happy108: Not quite @jluc busy though.....:rolleyes005:

    Wild mix of products....but was an EPIC (© @Keithmax) shave, BBS easily. 14 hours later, barely starting to feel the 1000 grit sandpaper. Started with a face scrub with the Tube 2.0 from PAA. Quick rinse, and onto an excellent ZM SS face lather from the EVO knot, always love this barbershop aroma. Zingari Man in it's current form is a great soap. Fast thick lather, tons of cushion, nice residual face feel & slick for buffing. The Wanderer is a near perfect match to the NO BarrBarr AS fragrance, classic barbershop, not quite as powdery as Stirling. The DD went through a linen and leather stropping round immediately before today's shave.....awesome smooth edge results. 2.5 passes. Couple very minor weepers, barely a notice other than slight crimson on the lather covered blade edge as I'm rinsing. Nothing found on the epidermis.... Slight application of ZM's after shave balm, unscented. It's a thick creamy ASB....just one pump from the container for me, followed by a hefty smattering of the NO BarrBarr AS. Wifey favorite, lasts into the afternoon.

    Hope everyone's Tuesday was a good one!
