Tonight:

Ogallala Bay Rum soap
Shavemac best badger
Geo. Wostenholm & Son IXL 6/8
loom strop from Gugi
Alum block
Ogallala Bay Rum A/S Skin Toner

The last time I had used this razor it pulled like the dickens...so I knew it needed a good touch up. Gugi was kind enough to send a pasted paddle strop and a loom strop for me to try out, so I knew this was the razor to test them out on. I gave it 3 passes, no pulling, just bbs.

Today is the National Day of Switzerland, 1st of August. We are remembering our 717 years of existence. In this special day, I choose to remember also my first shave with a straight razor using the same "procedure":

The Art of Shaving pre-shave oil
The Art of Shaving unscented shaving cream
Kent BK4
Le Grelot 6/8, 1/4 grind
The Art of Shaving aftershave balm
