Razor Genco with custom scales

Brush Jayruh number 48 with some sort of pilsoft knot. It builds leather and just keeps building it. Love the brush and knot. He makes some nice brushes and very inexpensive for a custom wood handle. It right up there with my two brushes from Graydog i had 3 from graydog but my brother fell in love with one so without a second thought gave it to him since he has always been there for me. and my Lowborn brush.

Proraso red cream

Whiskey woods aftershave

Tony Miller Steerdovan strop that I won after the pass around. An amazing strop by a great guy. If you dont have a Tony Miller strop I highly reccomend getting one. You will not be disappointed. For most of my razors I like it better than the katayama 70000, the red imp 700c, the dubl duck special no 1, the scotch lassie, the Koken, the C-MON 414, and the Kikuboshi stop.

Sorry for the long description. Trying to keep my mind off my father's funeral service this coming saturday.

lovely pic sir..

fine set up and shave sir..my condolences..

Thank you Gary.

Henri et Victoria makes some nice products. Solid shave there.

thank you Tim..i want to try his new triple milled ones..

Thanks, Gents!

You'll be surprised if you are expecting a traditional triple milled 'puck', Gary. I checked out a tub in a shop in Calgary and if it didn't say Triple Milled on the label, I would never have guessed so. Looks like a somewhat harder, but still very pliable, artisan soap. Not a hard puck. Have never seen the original H et V original formula to compare.

thank you..the falls lumberjack set i have is one of my first sets i bought,well 3 years ago..the soap is quite firm as it was then..was hoping for a hard puck..

Thank you.

On a sunny and warm day I used a spring setup.

Excellent soap, even if the fragrance does not drive me crazy.
Brush is absent: I forgot it, but it's a common Commodore and easy to find on the net, should anyone want to see it.
Excellent blade and razor combination and aftershave, although not alcoholic, is one of the best industrial ones I have ever tried: extremely effective and with an almost non-existent fragrance which makes it suitable to marry any EdT..

The musical choice was targeted: I needed to wake up and this strummer is quite fantastic!

The long sun rays of winter wound my eye with a monotone languor: what better than a revisitation of Verlaine to announce not the beginning of a historical landing, but that I am really fed up of all this light?
