Hot Rinse, Cold Rinse & Alum Wash
Old Spice Aftershave

Third run with this blade, simply hand stropping in between, and it's now very smooth and still very sharp. I'd say this was the best shave yet from this blade, the first being quite frisky, the second calmer, this one smooth.

Good fun!

Old Spice for afters and we're ready to wind down, enjoy Friday night and hit the weekend with all we've got. Have a great weekend, folks.

Friday am. Approched her from behind, Sun to my back.

Hot steam acted as shaverflage, disguising my true intent.

Sneaking up on her eh? That's not a bad idea. Just watch that she doesn't give you her version of butterfly kisses. They will leave a mark.

First go with with the Streamline, very impressed, shaves just like my other 1912's only built extremely well, ATT couldn't do a better job of building a razor.

Blue proraso worked well, nice rich lather, smells a bit weird though, think post iron bru WKD vomit :s
BBS result though, really enjoyed it.

Razor: Erik Anton Berg Frameback T-Shell
Brush: Pixelfixed Custom
Soap: La Toja
ASB: Bulldog
EDT: Armani Code

I spent a solid hour on honing of this razor. The Steel is very hard and was not easy to hone and i didn't wanna rush so i took the extra time to make this one perfect. I decided to go with my Jnat Ozuku Asagi finish and the result was just perfect and deliverd a very smooth shave. I enjoyed this shave very much! :)
