Prep: Hot shower
Brush: SOC
Razor: Gillette, Popular 47 + Blue blade
Soap: Al's custom + ARKO
AS: Proraso
Result: Very, very clean
I lathered up the dome and face and went for it, worked out great, even though some red marks on the throat (not used to use the DE any longer).

PREP: Hot shower with conditioner MAXTERPIECE: 8/8 Friodur BRUSH: Semogue 2010 LE #66 SOAP: La Toja Manantiales ASTRINGENT: Alum (Tade) ASB: Sabon EDT: LT Piver Vetyver RESULTS: What is there not to like about this shave? The Manantiales makes a wonderful lather, the Friodur is a pure joy to use with the wonderful G10 scales by Max, and the edge he put on her is absolutely without equal! I hadn't used the Alum in a while, but went that route, and as they say, it made all the difference. My skin is soft and supple yet feels very well toned. The LT Piver doesn't make it into my rotation that often, but it's such a wonderful light citrusy vetiver that I couldn't pass it up today!
He saw a lawyer killing a viper on a dunghill hard by his own stable; And the Devil smiled, for it put him in mind of Cain and his brother Abel.

Michael,
Both you and your sister should take it easy. The road to recovery from major surgery is a long one--even after release from the hospital. Believe me, I've been there and done that--twice.
You won't feel 100% for quite awhile. It takes about a year to recover fully from major surgery.
Best wishes to both you and your sister. You both remain in my hopes and prayers.
Take care, my SRP friend."Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." Mark Twain

Have you ever started shaving with a new razor and once the edge touch your face you knew you were in for a great shave. That was this one. After the first pass i was thinking "Maybe im still sleeping and this is a Fili". She left very little for the 2nd pass. Well after the 2nd pass i was STICKY SMOOTH and loving it. Sheffield Razor CO. Made an awesome Blade here.

My last shave with this big hunk of steel before it went on its way to the other side of the world:
Razor: Joe Chandler worked back in carbon fiber
Strop: my vintage Kanayama
Brush: Rooney finest
Cream: Castle Forbes Lavender
AfterShave: Czech & Speake 88
Excellent shave, even though at 15/16" or so the razor's a bit too big for my taste.
