WorstenHolm I*xl 5/8 Shave oil ...Anthony's Shave stick...King R. Emporium alum water tend skin Ogallala aftershave Lime & Peppercorn with Vitamine E added I am liking this razor very easy to shave with, my usual right jaw line cut... no nicks left/left right/right hand technique clean up with '46 crat...it was a very comfortable shave for me. Take care.
I finally took some time to shave with my straights this weekend. Saturday was my Grand Father's Wosti Canuck, and today was the Wostie Celebrated. The canuck needs a trip to the hone, the shave was tugging and not terribly close, but I still enjoyed it. A much better edge on the Celebrated lead to a smoother, more comfortable shave today.
5/8 Hackett Diamond KMF homemade boar, smoke and white I didn't like the blue handle I'd made for this brush so I changed it out with a tweak to the loft and hole size. This will be the last of my personal 10049's for a while. 3 should be enough and I'm tired of breaking them in. The blade pictured was picked up for $10 with broken scales and has always been an exceptional shaver. Have a good one.
Sweet brush (I REALLY like your acrylic handles!) and a beauty razor, what a find for 10 bucks! The scales are perfect for the blade-Nice Work!
Thomas Turner 13/16 square point, sort of in-between a quarter hollow and a near wedge. Very nice shave this morning. Have a good un folks.
I haven't shaved it four days and am trying to get past the Gabby Hayes phase. I had a beard for twenty or so years. Each morning as I'm brushing my teeth, I keep thinking "should I shave or should I try a beard again".
Once you start, its hard to stop. Applies both to growing a beard and wet-shaving. Quite the dilemma, Robert! I'll be sprouting a mustache for the month of November (Movember), which will take some getting used to. I had a 'stash for about 20+ years before losing it about 8 years ago as it turned grey….
