    C. V. Heljestrand MK32, soap was 3P lathered with the ‘hippie brush’ with a Maggard SHD knot. ABC almond balm topped off a perfect shave - I am BDBS.

    Lovely Puma shave, Billy! You inspired me! My Puma’s nowhere near as pretty, but still a great shaver!

    In honor of Keith (@Spyder) making an appearance, I dusted off the Le Grelot “Royal Canada.” If you still have yours, it might be time to take it for a spin. :)

    Tonight's shave was with a freshly honed razor. Maiden shave for this one, after restoration. I had a silky smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BDBS. I expect nothing less, from this razor maker. One of my favorite makers.


    Razor- "Winova", by Peter J Michels
    Soap- AOS Kingsman, "Bourbon".
    Brush- B-400, by Tom(@twhite ) . Omega Boar knot. Great combination.
    Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicy. Vikings Horn Decanter.

    Filly 14 Novodur, soap and balm were IC Mango Oil, and the brush a M&F Alibaba. It’s hard to get a bad SR shave with such a slick soap, and this one left me BDBS.
