Couple of days' growth

Lucky Tiger Shave lotion
Plisson HMW 12 horn
Vintage Clydesdale strop
Crown & Sword 11/16 (I think)
Trumper's alum
Truper's CSF

Minimal prep, C&S debut: and it still felt very smooth. To me means it has great potential - with some fine-tuning. This brand is special to me because my Grandfather used one of them, and this particular razor I like very much: clean blade, 3 pins + C&S logo inlay in scales

Cheers
Ivo

Default Friday Forgot a Razor!

Went to pull out my razor out of its sheath and it was not there . Razors are the only thing I pack everything else is in the bag and a very nice assortment but razors I like to bring different ones every time. Will also pack 2-3 depending on the link of the trip. I am in hotels every week and have to make the trips feel as much like home as possible. This is the first time I have done this in about 9 months Needless to say I had to get a disposable . My SOTD post is to tell you no mater what do not, I repeat do not forget your DE or Blade. It has been a long time and it is amazing how bad it was. Not only from the feel you get but also on your skin. I could feel it stripping my skin. I am defiantly trowing a shaver in the bag as a back up from this point forward

BE WARNED I RELEASE MYSELF OF ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU FORGET YOURS
