That is a super cool little desk clock. My Dad used to ha e a red and white barbers chair in the living room. This was before I actually discovered wet shaving. It had a strop hanging from one side. Wish I had that chair now. It was Very comfortable.

A really nice shave today with a beautifully made for me Unmentionable SE , last week i seemed to find an angle sweet spot which has smoothed the shave out, my blade angle has been changed ever so slightly flatter, it seems to be working for me.
It could all go bang very soon.

That had better be your belt...LOL!! Big Grin

Strops can be used for maintaining wedge blades for lather catchers so I would guess that it's acceptable.

Just a quick clean-up with the Schick Type L today. This razor was more efficient/aggressive than I had expected. I look forward to using it again.

1936 gold razor
Vintage boar brush
Feather blade
Stirling Bay Rum soap
Skin bracer

[Image: 1.jpg]
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.

Lather Catcher Sunday's Shave
[Image: zcws.jpg]

Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Red
Jayaruh #206 2-band badger
Fuzzy Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Pinaud Vanilla AS

The Proraso Red Shave Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #206 two-band Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the Fuzzy Catcher Lather Catcher with a Personna GEM SS PTFE gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Vanilla After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
