I won't post to this section often. Since I only use one razor, it would get a little repetitive. I do vary the brush, soap or cream and AS though, so here is todays, 1/25/10: Prep - Hot towel then face lather Brush - Superior Brush, 22mm Super Badger Cream - Proraso Razor - Gem Jr. Bar Razor Blade - Gem PTFE coated stainless Splash - Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner After Shave - Aqua Velva - Ice Blue Method - Single lathered pass WTG and clean up pass (XTG & ATG) using only the Thayers for lube. Result - BBS (verified by SWMBO ) Regards, Tom

- Prep: Hot Towel
- Brush: Ever Roddy 300
- Cream: TSD Bamboo & Teak
- Razor: '12 GEM Jr
- Blade: Ted Pella PTFE coated GEM SE (shave 1)
- A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel Toner and AOS Lavender ASM
- EDT: TSD Bamboo & Teak EDT
- Result: After a week in the hospital and having my gall bladder removed a shave at home with real hot water and my SE razor was the best tonic I could have. Only two passes and just a DFS but still it was fun and my face feels really great. Thanks Dave Irving for turning me onto SE shaving.

Why grandpa, what a bigggggg brush you have there!! All the better to.... Great bush!! Even for a grandpa! Refurbed or au natural? Thank you, sir...A natural far as I can tell. I found him at an antique store in Oklahoma on my way back to Dallas. Great brush, though, it is not very dense but still has a nice pocket to it and holds enough for 2 sometimes 3 passes.
