1. Rarely post a pre-shave SOTD, but I needed a kick in the pants to finish this restoration... so this is my plan for this evening’s shave.
    Razor: 10/8+ Joseph Rodgers & Sons rescaled in a Max Sprecher titanium suit
    Brush: McPhail “Top Hat” w/ 28mm Nathan Clark Ubersoft
    Soap: Wholly Kaw Lav Sublime Concerto

    Now off to the stones to see what we can do with this puppy :).

  4. I’m still learning this near wedge Lund. I put a little refresh on it on my yellow-green Thuri to sharpen it a little. It could have used a little more as my beard was heavier than normal. It did the job but required a little more attention than usual. All smooth now. :happy088:

  10. Shave #38 on the Cape, no deterioration of the edge with suede/cordovan since adding 20 canvas at shave #32. A Simpsons Tulip 2 lathered up some ABC cream and D. R. Harris Pink topped it off for dolphin smooth.

    Cheers, Steve

    I wasn't 100% satisfied with my last shave with this razor so a little touch up with my black arkie took care of things nicely. First shave with Fougere Parfaite, enjoyed the scent, reminiscent of Brut, so if I don't burn out on the scent it's a winner for me. Have a good one.

  13. IMHO I get my best shaves from wedge or near wedge razors. Especially the vintage wade and butchers or Fredrick Reynolds
