Taking a shit pic does not mean having a shit shave (and a shit pic is better than no pic, and I am not looking to anyone haha). This is a winning combination of fresh critrus for anyone enjoying the way. The opening of MdC and its properties plus the nicely lemon scent goes increchento with the SAA first, and then ended p with SAS. SAA is something serious. I made the mistake to carry last summer to the field, and abuse of it and damaged too much the stick. Well, I would have abused it anyway, but the stick would be nice looking....

Very impressive!
I love the big blades as I find them to result in far less blood loss... My current shave is an 8/8 extra hollow.

I too enjoy big blades, although my favourite size blade just so happens to be a 13/16, which is also a pretty standard size for vintage Japanese razors.

With all the talk of this running out yesterday I was inspired to grab mine and give it a run. Great stuff. Seriously folks, head over here and get some while you still can! You will not regret it.



BTW @TomG - how was the cricket at the new Perth Stadium? Seems a little souless compared to the WACA - but then again I'm old fashioned ...
 
Shower
Rockwell 6S (4)
Lord Racer blade (4)
Omega 48 brush
Lea shaving stick
Gillette Moisturiser

Just getting in to the swing of things with the new brush, yielding an excellent three pass BBS with no damage or irritation. This will be my shave for the next month until I get access back to my den. Plate 2 on the Rockwell for the first two shaves of a blade and then plate 4 for the next two. They are the front and back of the same plate which keeps things simple for travelling.

Pre-Shave: @nsavage pre-shave, cold water
Razor: Hoffritz Travel Slant
Blade: Ladas Super Stainless (1)
Brush: Doug Korn D7V
Lather: Stirling Bergamot Lavender
Post-Shave: Alum, Thayers Original Alcohol Free Witch Hazel, South Australian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil​

My first true BBS shave was many moons ago with a beaten up Hoffrtiz travel slant. I loved the razor, but was always afraid it would one day crumble in my hands and so passed it on.

Naturally I was very excited, when I had the opportunity to obtain a near mint copy of this stellar razor. And the shave with it was just as wonderful, as I can remember. The handle these days is of course way to small for me, but I just wanted to relive those sweet memories. The perfect Stirling lather certainly helped and the shave was just blissful.

Now if any machinist wants to make me an exact stainless steel copy of this razor head, please contact me - I am still too worried the razor might crumble one day and therefor will not use it too often.

I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday (y)
