  1. Thank you Gary.....putting the Gillette under the warm sink tap for a few seconds thickens the cream, which I prefer to it being squiggly(like a snake).
  2. Excellent setup and shave Barry.

    SRS # 823 - 1508.5 Project - Prairie Song
    “First” Razor Shave - Straight - Thiers-Issard

    Rating: 5 / 5

    Razor: Thiers-Issard Super Gnome Extra
    Brush: Shore Shave Cool Mint Water 24 mm Synthetic
    Lather: Lakewood Soap Company Prairie Song
    Aftershave: Floid Genuine Vigoroso
    Additional Care:
    Omega Alum
    Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
    Lakewood Soap Company Prairie Song Balm

    Excellent shave this morning. An almond size scoop of soap yielded a voluminous lather with plenty to spare. The Shore Shave synthetic whipped up a very nice lather. The slickness of the lather allowed the blade to easily do its job without any mishaps, irritation or sneaky weepers. All good in the neighborhood.

    Hope you all have a great day. Anyone heard from Hogie, @Hogie?

    Good evening.

    Straight Razor Shave #431
    6/8 Ralf Aust
    Hembree/ Maggard Timberwolf Brush
    Stirling Frankincense and Myrrh SS and AS
    Stirling Alum Block
    Beard Growth: 25.5 hrs

    I decided to use one of my Aust razors. I bought this shave ready razor a few yrs. ago from Maggard's and it still is sharp.
    I don't need to bore you with the performance of Stirling soaps because it is always excellent.
    Did a two pass shave for an errorless, smooth comfortable shave. I didn't get any feedback from the alum block as well as the matching, alcohol-based aftershave. Have a good evening.
