How much work did you have to do on the razor when you bought it?

 

Ah oui - so there is even a difference now in the tube! Man oh man, I swear to you, this cream lathers like a BOMB!

 

My goodness Brian, the scent is delicious - it's lavender with citrus mixed together!

Friday, January 6, 2012

1. Prep: Hot shower; Yardley bath bar; hand strop blade
2. Lather: MWF - face lather
3. Brush: Frank Shaving Finest
4. Razor: Gem Clog Pruf Micromatic
5. Blade: Pella SS PTFE coated (1); 3 passes
6. Post: Cold water rinse; Aqua Velva + Kiehl's Balm

First use of the Clog Pruf in quite some time with how well the OCMM has been doing for me. I also brought the Frank's Finest off the bench as well. Both led to a very nice shave though I did learn a bit more about why I like the OCMM over the Clog Pruf. The brand new blade was very nice too.

Shave Rating - Splendid! God Bless!

I ground back the shoulders and honed it I probably didn't need to grind the shoulders as much as I did though.
