    Started a new Wade & Butcher razor project today and figured I would use this previous project to keep my frustrations down and optimism up :).
    Razor: 8/8 Wade & Butcher w/ modified Spanish point and scales
    Brush: Corvette shift knob synthetic
    Soap: Stirling Electric Sheep
    A/S: Stirling Mountain Man

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    SEptember is a Stirling month!

    September 16 - Let's do the time warp again!!!!

    Razor - 1912 Gem
    Blade - [​IMG] (3)
    Soap - Stirling Bay Rum
    Brush - Stirling Two Banded Synthetic
    Finish - Alum

    It's just a jump to the left............and then a step to the ri..ri...ri.iiiight. You put your hands on your hips........and pull your knees in tight.....but it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you in say- ay-ayn. Let's do the time warp again!

    Ok, got that out of my head. Barely warped this one. Started the shave at 11:59 and it carried over. I'm fast but not a minute man when it comes to running sharp steel over my face. Second shave on the 1912 and the third for the Treet blade. Noisy, smooth, effective, delightful even on the Bay Rum soap. Not a complaint in the world other than my back hurts a bit, I'm tired and I'm happy to be home for the night. Three full passes brought the baby on board again and all's well at Cartel HQ tonight! Hope your week gets off to a fantastic start!

    An excellent beginning to the week. The Pushbutton has gone up in my estimation, once learned it's not a bad little razor.

    Cold Water Wash
    Ingram Shaving Cream
    Alpha T-400 Silvertip Badger
    Supply Provision
    Schick Proline B20
    CWR
    Osage Rub

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Ingram Shaving Cream face lathered well with the Alpha T-400 Silvertip Badger brush. I did two passes with the Supply Provision Safety Razor with a Schick Proline B20 blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
