    I only have a couple SRD strops and the Tony Miller fast bridle and also a TM natural colored one. The TM strops are way superior in quality. The fast bridle has a pull or drag to it that I like, some may not! I just ordered a Westholme Shell Cordovan and I will let you know what I think after I get it

    Tony Miller strops are my favorites. I just received another one today.

    If I decide to shave today this will be the combo. I'm guessing no shave today, however. The semi completed handle is for a Shavemac knot I have coming. I ordered a pure knot, a 25mm fan, just because Ive never tried one of Shavemac's pure. The rest of their hair I have covered. I'm also waiting on a couple of razors from Santa (who looks alot like me, btw). Have a good one.

    Excellent shave this morning. The Shavemac knot came in the mail yesterday and I had a handle waiting. I've owned all the Shavemacs now with the exception of their new finest. Have a good one.

    today I used geo w korn #1113, I call it Lady Tempest. I touched up the edge using a ezy edge barber's hone. then stropped on my gemstar bench(maybe some residual cro-ox). thirty laps.
    4 passes, alternating with my Ever-Ready 1924. very smooth, no bloodshed. I'm stoked.

    Thanks, I have a couple but this might be my favorite. I have a couple of new horses I'll be letting out of the barn in next few days too.

    No shave today. I don't have enough whiskers to make it worthwhile. I've been getting some extremely fine shaves lately. A new razor is honed up and ready to go for tomorrows shave. Plus, I have another to hone up which will be a virgin shave for a nice vintage razor. Have a good one.

    "Like a virgin for the very first time". I ran across this NOS Doble Temple 14 and common sense went out the window. Very nice shave this morning, it took a great edge and I had a smooth, close, enjoyable shave. Have a Merry Christmas.
