Wednesday 3rd January Zenith 507 TS Rose of Bulgaria Cream Giles Scuttle GEM Micromatic Clog Pruf GEM SSC #7 Alum Wash Rose of Bulgaria A/S Lacura Moisturiser View AttachmentThis lovely shave was originally planned for yesterday. But I was too upset due to our beloved cat Miranda having to be put to sleep on New year's Day. Her other back leg suffered the same affliction which resulted in the amputation last July. This gave us no other choice. Very very sorry to hear this. |

I did not really need to shave but this razor was in the mail along with a Jayaruh handle. I stropped my Kampfe wedge and as nasty as the blade looks the edge looked ok. What is the worst that could happen? I actually got a solid shave. 1898ish Kampfe/Star Kampfe wedge blade Proraso Red bowl ER 200/TGN Silvertip  And the prove it happened video. Veddy, veddy good, Fuzzy. I enjoyed watching the video. One day I am going to get me a wedge, too. I hope. I can see the excitement in your face and hear it in your voice. Glade you liked the handle, too. Jim I was blown away. Really. The handle is just beautiful. I fell special to have one. It is like it was made for this razor. You are doing a ton of work to spread the love of the old razors. Thank you!!  |

Wed 3rd Jan RazoRock Syn. 24mm P & B Spitfire ES Claymore V1 + Handle Schick Proline [ 9 ] Alum Rub/Rinse Off Tuff Red A/S lotion Had a head start on the Shave today, as not much stubble regrowth from a superb ATT SE1 Shave. I am enjoying the Claymore more since I changed the stock handle, as I am more confident using it around the neck. Now I am getting consistently good Shaves with the Claymore, which are smooth and trouble free.  |

Greetings Thursday 4th January 2018 Prep: Shower Razor: GEM OCMM Blade: GEM Carbon NOS Brush: Vie Long / Tuxedo Cream: Maca Root Aftershave: Simple Moisteriser EDP: Miller Harris La Fumée Maroc These are quite nice blades that seem to have survived quite well, they are a fairly modern carbon GEM blade, I suspect 1950's, they have the mock damascening on the blade and a steel spine but they are a thinnish blade with a thin spine and with cut outs and are in a modern style dispenser, each blade covered with a thick layer of grease. Regards Dick.  |

We had to make the same decision last year with one of our cats with gastrointestinal lymphoma. |

04.01.2018  Fantastic shave today. It was the first use of this Wholly Kaw Vetivertal soap and it provided a slick surface to the Heljestrand do its business as ever... perfectly. The scent of Vetiver was a great surprise as it is a vetiver tamed with some citric notes that add some freshness which I appreciated. Have a fantastic day my friends!  |

Stirling Maragarita in the Artic SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Schick I2 razor
Personna blade
Omega 10066 boar brush
M&L Florida Water cologne w/added menthol
Pretty darn chilly shave but a good one for sure. Hadn't used a boar brush in awhile and thought, "Why not"? Worked pretty well but not as good as my synthetics. Anyway, my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks
