Monday

Rooney small style 1 brush
Penhaligon Blenheim Bouquet soap
Hand American strop
Dovo Bergischer Lowe
Royall Lyme A/S

Only a 1-pass shave, but it was close enough that it wasn't worth relathering and doing a second pass - not for a Monday, anyway.

Decided to mix it up a bit today

Plisson HMW 12 Horn
Trumper's violet ss prep lather
Dr. Moss Scuttle large blue
Trumper's Rose sc (didn't get ratio, too watery )
Tabac ss (2rd + pass)
Vintage Russia shell strop
6/8 Myers rp
8/8 Friodur rp worked back Giraffe scales from RW
Trumper's alum
Musgo Real ASB (I know, CSF must be mad)

The Friodur is ready to ship to buyer after 20 more laps on Chromium. Solid 10/10 and I am a bit sorry to let it go. Maybe I should reconsider my attitude to stainless...

Myers was nice, ready to go to its new owner too (but not as nice as the Friodur )

Trumper's soap and cream got owned by Tabac... again. Gotta love this soap

Nice shave

Cheers
Ivo

Silvertip badger with selfmade handle
Mammabear's Bay rum and tangerine soap (I believe it's called marauder now)
Outram strop
Worldmaster 6/8 silversteel with cocobolo scales
Aloë Vera gell combined with Axel F's homemade Bayrum with added peppermint
KOS moisterizer

Very nice. I'd forgotten that Mammabear's stuff is that good. I'll be picking it up again soon.

wed:

Rooney small style 1 brush
T&H Grafton cream
Feather AC, super pro blade
Taylor's Sandalwood A/S

Something different today. I haven't used either the feather or a cream in many months. Decent but not great shave; the feather never seems to shave me as well as it should.
