    Tonight's shave was with a "First String" razor. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, which left me smooth as a Baby Dolphins Butt. Ni issues at all. Excellent razor.

    Razor- Maher & Grosh. Toledo Ohio.
    Brush- Vie Long Horse Hair
    Soap- ARKO/Avon Spicy
    Aftershave- Lucky Tiger

    I think it counts. It is essentially a straight razor on a stick. I've read that they are very nice. My Rolls is as yet untried.

    6/8 Torrey
    MWF
    synthetic Omega knot

    I took the Torrey back to 3000/8000 and ended it on the black arkie, very nice shave today. The second go around for the synthetic Omega and it opened nicely on the face with good lather. I picked up few arkies this summer at flea markets plus a Norton Queer Creek. I wore the 8k off my Norton 4/8k combo so I've been playing around with some other stones.

    Forcing myself to use something other than The Man From Mayfair. It is difficult to put that one down. 20170522_200739.jpg

    Great two pass shave after a touch up on the diamond pasted strop. No need for a third pass:). Best ten bucks I ever spent on this one:)

    Thank you, been playing with some of the effects and other adjustment options in my phone. Usually I just shoot, reduce to 30% of size and post. Now I up contrast, add vignette and some colour corrections with an occasional effect.

    After four 'shaveless' days in Lake Tahoe, I returned home late last night and had a great shave this morning with this vintage F. Fenney 'Tally Ho' 7/8" sq. pt. Crown & Crane 'Tobacco Leaf & Amber' soap & balm. Excellent!

    Tried a couple of new things last night - with an old standard:
    Gold Dollar 100 - stropped it on a church bulletin- full color covers - 100 passes on brown followed by 100 passes on sky blue. Then 150 passes on the leather. - Very, very smooth 3 pass shave - BBS!
    Followed the shave with generic Walmart Witch Hazel splash.
    SLEPT LIKE A BABY!
