1. I think if I ended up with a head injury bad enough to not be able to watch TV, I would hesitate to shave with a straight. Not saying I wouldn't, just that I would hesitate. Great photo. Hope you feel better soon.

  5. Well I shaved last night not knowing how much time I would have before church today so I used my Dovo Gentleman 5/8 round toe. Wonderful shave and followed up with Layrite No. 9 Bayrum aftershave! Mighty clove like this formula.......I feel like a pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving more or less.
  6. today I used the spotted emperor
    it's a J.A.Henckels twinworks #81, 4/8 full hollow.
    and I think it is called a French tip, y'all correct me if I'm wrong.

    Birthday shave...

    Razor = Celtic Wosty
    Soap = Lea shave stick
    Brush = VDH Boar
    Witch Hazel
    AS = Himalayan bay rum
    ASB = Dove mens + hydration

    Excellant Shave today This Blade is worth it's weight in gold... very smooth shave especially on the neck I believe the shape of the blade makes it easy to shave with the tip naturally and gets into the hollows of my neck with little effort.

    This razor is also going to be my 30 day focus for July...Take care.

    Keen Blades & Smooth shaves Gents ! :rolleyes:

    Post: WH, alum block, Aqua Velva Ice Blue, Nivea AS balm

    Wasn't able to shave for 4 days because of a really nasty cut on my dominate hand! Finally did a complete shave with the SR and had one little nick by Adam's apple. This Shumate rocks and has an awesome edge after a good strop!
    Two slow passes with straight WTG & XTG and did a touch up with the Slim but it was very quiet as there was not much left to cut. Finally found the right angle for the straight and it just glides so smooth when all is right!
    Got an awesome BBS shave! :happy036: :happy088:
