Beautiful brush

 

It's hard to improve on perfection Kevin, and you had a pretty darn perfect edge on that ODH when I got it for the test drive

 

I use a small spoon to take some Cella or shave cream out of the container and into my mug to bowl lather. It keeps containments and moisture from getting in. I finished off a jar of Cella a month ago and that seemed to work.

Happy Birthday and congrats on 1000!

 

Mrs Samurai detests Osage Rub immediately after application, but she likes it after an hour. Osage really mellows on the dry down.

 

Happy Birthday and...

 

Now that's a set-up I can relate to. Very nice.

 

Great looking gear Marine.

 

Happy Birthday. Enjoy your fishing trip and best of luck.

AOS Lavendar After Shave Balm

First time out with the Savile Row. The experience with its bulb shape was such a noticeable difference after focusing on the T&H Wellington fan shape for the past month or so. Of course, it felt great on the face but I'm going to have to stick with it for a while to get my lathering technique down. Second time out with the G4. I love the looks of this one and the shave felt too easy. Fortunately, I managed to avoid the trap of being lulled into pushing it too far.

 

This is kinda a local shave as Razor is from Cammell Laird ship yard (15 miles away) Brush is only 10 miles away and the soap is 12 miles.

Razor, Cammell Laired 0172 steel Ivory scales.
Brush, Dickinson&Gilroy's
Soap, Signature soap

The shave was OK, I tried some different hones on this razor and it was just not smooth enough, I will sort it out for the weekend as its a nice looking razor imho even if there is a crack in the scales

 

Just in time for the holiday

 

Thank you!

 

Happy Birthday, buddy!

A little better shave with the Valet tonight. Very light pressure if any while shaving with it. Red Tip finish helped much.

 

Happy Birthday Hodge catch something good!

first shave with the L'Occitane soap. very good, I probably would've been more impressed had I tried this vegan soap before I tried WSP Rustic. Just as good performance wise but I prefer the WSP scents.
As always, the Personna SS is as good as anything, better than most.
