    I started to use my plastic handle, inexpensive, synthetic Omega brush and then at the last second decided to grab the Simpson. About a $60 bad decision.

    Tuesday's Shave
    zcws.gif

    Nivea Men Face Wash
    VDH Deluxe
    Bunny B-400 Badger
    Parker Variant
    Kai Stainless
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS

    The VDH Deluxe Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Bunny B-400 Badger brush. I did two passes with the Parker Variant razor and Kai Stainless blade, and I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    May Day Shave.
    Today's shave was with a touched up Russian(1953) razor. It needed a little heel work, so, since I had all the rocks out, I just tossed it in the mix. I took it back to the 12k, then 15k, then the SB Arkie progression. Laser sharp, two pass shave, with BBS results.

    Razor- "EKSTRA" ZTV 1953
    Brush- Vintage unknown Boar. It's a mighty mite of a brush. One of my favorites.
    Soap- Stirling Spicy
    Aftershave- Osage Rub

    Just tell people you are going to play Santa, over Christmas Season, and you are getting a head start on the beard.

    Oh snap! I feel for you man. I can't imagine that happening to my hand made turquoise tru-stone brush. I never really thought this could happen to a brush. (You can tell I'm only 1 year into classic wet shaving). I hope to, knock on wood, never have that happen to any of my brushes. I hope yours can be mended.
