    The stubble got well and truly brassed off today.
    Many thanks to our very own @Douglas Carey for supplying me with this wonderful handle.

    The second of my 3 recent rediscoveries ...a little rougher and it did require a little readjustment to return it to full working order. Definitely more aggressive than the original TTO....but still tame when compared to many of the razors currently found.
    Three passes gave a lovely BBS shave:)

    Enjoy the remainder of the weekend!

    Under $20 razor, $$$ Million dollar shave from a Zamak head and SS handle. Efficient, not overly aggressive and smooth. Think Rockwell 6s on a #4 or #5 plate with a tad more blade feel, really nice. And what hasn’t been said about the Wholly Kaw CRC? A wonderfully scented soap with a lather that takes second place to no one in terms of performance and post shave results. Definitely Tier 1 class in my book. Have a great day and shaves Gents... :happy088:

    The Sabre with the L2 base plate is a great razor. Well balanced and easy to use.

  13. A brilliant shave despite the Astra blade being just about finished. The Sharp Dressed Man soap delivered on the great lather with its lovely, classy scent and soothing post-shave feeling. I couldn't resist using the Musgo Real classic aftershave - it smells so nice but it doesn't disrupt the scent of an eau de toilette. It's also very comfy on the skin.

    Have a nice Sunday!

    Can it get any better? A brand, spanking new Polsilver SI loaded into a Fatip Grande OC, waltzing across my Amici lathered face, taking no quarter on my whiskers and then........splash on a booze themed Pinaud AS splash to complete the job. Gentlemen, I don't think so.

    Soap: Italian Barber Amici
    Brush: Semogue 620 boar
    Razor: Fatip Grande
    Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (1)
    Aftershave: Clubman Reserve Brandy Spice
