SR Shave #16 with a mid to late 1800s Wade & Butcher Celebrated For Barber's Use 8/8, T+S Morocco and a Declaration B3 Nebula Washington. Really great shave! I have 3 of these razors. I love how smooth they are. Big thumbs up to Karl Johnson at Mainely Straight Razors for the restoration work.

Eric, that is a beautiful W&B!

Mike's soap is a superb performer. My last couple of shaves had been less than stellar so I was wondering what was happening. Going back to a soap that I know the properties of is my way of pushing the reset button. I must now get rid of a couple soaps that did not perform for me these last couple of days.

Wednesday, September 20, 2017 Shave of the Day:

Razor  |  Blackland BlackBird SB / Astra SP
Brush  |  Wolf Whiskers' Iron Throne 'Black Wolf' Synthetic

I'm a huge TMNT fan and Mr. Wheeler of Wild West Brushworks named this brush "Krang" so it was a no brainer, I had to pick it up.
