[Nanook]

Pre-shave: Hot Towel
Brush: Wild West Brushworks Oceano
Razor: Henson AL13
Blade: RK Stainless
Soap: P&B Imperial Rum
Post-shave: P&B Imperial Rum Balm

The Henson AL13 is a great razor to use, very smooth and efficient. Being made from aerospace grade aluminum, it is so light there's hardly any weight in it at all which, is a bit of a downer for those that love a heavy razor like myself.

Time for an update......?
Didn't shave this morning so I'll post yesterday's.
Soap: Pb Drachenblut
Brush: TF 2 Band
Razor: Eclipse Red Ring
Blade: Vintage Nacet (2)
Lovely shave with this set up. The Nacet's work well in the Eclipse.

This image pretty much sums up our building progress. Yes we're progressing but very slowly. Materials and contractor availability are still the issues for the builder. We should've been in last Oct/Nov. Hoping we're in for Christmas.

Have you managed to tame that Nodachi yet?

It takes no prisoners; that’s for sure. Still working it out, but having fun doing so.

 

[MrPeanut]

But at least the tiger snakes aren't playing.

Little bastards were on the go last summer, one lone big boy tried to hop into my toolbag on the sly but caught him in a nick of time.

We are hitting chilly sub 20 degrees here in the tropical Top End a beautiful summers day down south

Razor: ATT Windsor Pro
Blade: Feather (2)
Lather: Ariana & Evans - Asian Plum - Soap
Post Shave: Ariana & Evans - Asian Plum - Aftershave

Nice evening shave. During the hot Aussie summer, Asian Plum can be brutally cloying. On a cold and rainy winter-day it's alright.
