I knew it wouldn't last...
I was awakened by blinding sunshine: and I had moved here trusting in the typical northern mists…

I cheered up with some of the best lavender I've ever smelled, though: the scent of the soap, after shave, and EdT seem made for each other.

Sapone: Ethos, Lisse Collection, Lavender Suprême
Pennello: Lab. Villefranche, Il Tee, Padouk/Fan Manchurian Finest 24
Rasoio: Merkur, Progress 500

Williams Wednesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
SlimGem Silvertip Badger
Stoll Jr. Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB

The Williams Mug Soap lathered well with The SlimGem Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Stoll Jr. Lather Catcher with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Wednesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Schick day 10
Master Soap Creations Peppermint Lime SS
Prep ASB
Master Splash Creations Citrus Melody AS Splash

Not only am I BBS after three glorious passes I’m
absolutely frozen solid - this Peppermint Lime soap smells beautiful, it’s a fantastic latherer thanks to the tallow formula, its menthol sensation is a force to be reckoned with, and it’s so skin friendly. The Prep took great additional care of me and the Citrus Melody aftershave froze me to smithereens - man, does it ever smell lovely also. What a tip top shave!

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and safe!

It is interesting what you are doing to use the old method of re stropping a blade with glass, I did something similar 2 years ago and a carbon blade is the one to go with. I did not have one to use so I used stainless steel blade.

Nodachi-Prismatic/Feather. I feel a little guilty messing with the precision Tatara...but not that guilty, Prismatic is simply too much fun, audible feedback and efficiency with no discernable penalty.

This one was a bit problematic for me in that I struggled to make a good lather. It was literally bonding to the razor.
I suspect the issue was with the guy actually creating the lather so I'll give it another go tomorrow. It has a nice fresh scent that is great for summer!

Here's the ledger for Thursday(13th):

prep-Dial 4 Men Bodywash(Infinite Fresh)in shower
shave(soap)-Central Texas Soaps(Down At The River)
brush-Stoylin Synth(No-Name)

Razorock Lupo .95 & Gillette Platinum
Knothead/Dragonsbeard 26mm Tux Dark Resin
Grooming Dept. Incense&Rose soap

As good as it gets. A wonderful evening and shaves to all....​
