This is my second or third straight day using Electric Sheep. I picked up a sample and was giving it a good workout. Just ordered some (and of course other soaps). I've got to stop this madness, so many soaps here. No wonder I keep putting soaps up on BST.

Lovely photo, Freddie!  

Thank you Celestino!

Doug, fantastic razor!
This model is Hannah's Razor?

I'm on a waiting list at Tim Zowada.

Navarrsky The blade is similar to Hannah's, just a touch wider.  I'd loved to have picked that razor up as it is stunning.

Tim's work is well worth the wait.  His Damascus blades are in the true Damascus style (650+ layers of steel) not like some "Damascus style" razors.  I wish I could afford one of his "Tim-ahagane" razors.  He picks the ore up from the beach himself.  It gets no more detailed than that anywhere.

Tim sent me a quotation for all kinds of straight razors. Timahagane very expensive, and Meteorite Timahagane price rolls. But from another forum moderator, who for many years shaving with straight razors, said that from living craftsman Tim Zowada the best in the world.

Razor: Gillette SS 1947 (Birth Razor)
Blade: Gillette Platinum (2)
Brush: Simpsons CH1 Chubby Best Badger
Soap: Eufros Brisa de Oriente
A/S: Floid Vigoroso

Another DFS with the Gillette SS. The Simpsons CH1 whipped up a very nice lather with the Eufros soap. Great smelling shave soap. Finished with Floid Vigoroso and what a finish it was.
Happy Canada Day and Happy 4th of July.
