Howdy all! Today (september 18th) is my 26th birthday. I'm celebrating over at my house with a BBQ and some drinks. But of course the birthday boy has to look good on his big day so I had an extra special shave. Started off with a hot towel on my face as I relaxed to some music. Then put some col conk bay rum lather on my face while I stropped my le grelot in rams horn. 50 times on poly web and 100 on leather. Washed the col conk off and used tobs sensitive shave cream with my tobs super badger brush. Lathered up and had a three pass shave. One with the grain one against and another opposite against the grain. Wonderful shave this morning and cant wait to start the partying.
Happy Birthday to you. We share the same birthday, though I am more than twice as old as you. I too had a great shave with one just back from Glen (gssixgun) a beautiful big old frameback made by Wm Gilchrist. Lathered up with some Ogallala after a great shower outside in the NE Ga mountains. Only 2 passes and got a great shave. Will N.
