let me know if your able to view the project.

 

I've had it about 2 years and I've enjoyed it quite a bit. It is a bit lighter, but it's very easy to maintain the correct angle. It shines on 2 or 3 days of stubble, but since the lady prefers a clean shaven mug, I haven't had that much lately. It is mildly aggressive, but not bite your face, just efficient. It remains in a regular rotation of NEW SC, NEW LC, Blackbird and Standard.

 

They almost always do now days, but the breakfast was a real bonus! I'm normally the one who makes breakfast.

 

Thanks Troy. Sounds like a great razor and I like light weight razors. Take care.

 

Thanks Danny; it’s remarkable what an amber wedge and bone scales can do to dress up an archaic razor design!

 

Thanks, Jason.
The gelled boar seems to be coming around. At first it wouldn't pick up enough soap for a second pass. Curious to see if there will be more improvement as the month progresses.

Thanks, Joe!

Thank you, Danny!
This life of leisure is wearing me out. Beautiful weather today so I spent about seven hours out in the yard, got a lot done. I'm ready for warmer weather. Seventies Tuesday, snow yesterday, seventies today. Springtime in the Rockies.

April 1 SOTA Tsuka (BoS) Thursday

Good afternoon guys!



Straight Razor Shave #255
6/8 Ralf Aust Full Hollow Spanish Point
Mr. EE Tuxedo Brush
Stirling Blood on Steel LE (Tsuka) SS and AS
Dickenson's WH and Nivea ASB
Whiskers: 30 hours

I wanted to start off this month on the right foot so I picked this setup. Stirling's BoS is a nice scent that I just like alot. Evan's tuxedo brush has some backbone and it is a great latherer. I wetted my face with the brush and made a frothy lather as a preshave for my beard. I kept loading and lathering until I got the lather to my liking.

First Lather:
Second Lather:

I have 2 Ralf Austs and I bought it new from Maggards a year and a half ago. I picked it because I haven't used it in quite some time. I have to say that I forgot how incredibly sharp this razor is. I really could have stopped at one pass, but I always do at least 2 passes.
Two passes gave me a BBS shave without any cuts or irritation. In fact, it was just shy of cotton ball BBS.
Ended with my usual postshave order of the wh, asb and this glorious BoS aftershave.

Here's the results:

***I am sure you guys know how to make my pics larger. Lol! ***

Seriously, I think this was one of my best epic shaves. I feel clean and refreshed! Have a great evening gentlemen!

 

Well done, Joe.

 

Thank you Joseph! It was a fun and satisfying shave!

 

Thanks, Danny! Glenn really outdid himself on this one!

 

Great shave, Joe! Why did you shave your nose?

 

Thank you Jeff! I realized that I had some schmutz on my nose, but I downloaded the pic anyway to show that you can have fun shaving without worrying about minutiae.

 

The razor looks gorgeous Jeff. Congrats

Schmitz, please define!

 

Thanks, Clint! Glen Mercurio (@gssixgun) is a wizard! He took a stand-alone Stubtail blade and created a like new straight razor, albeit 200+ yrs old!

 

Awesomeness Jeff.

 

Excellent shave Joe. Just wondering if you are lobbying to be an ophthalmologist.
