I'm retired. Who gives a crap if I shave or not nor how close a shave it is?I'm loathe to pass up an opportunity to point out what backwards ass pedestrians you guys are. Shooting your Glocks, shaving with a disposable cartridge razor and some canned goo.
It's in that spirit I bring you this morning's Wunderful shave.
Hardware:
Italian slant called "Wunderbar" by The Italian Barber/Razorock. It's an extremely aggressive and efficient piece of precision equipment that is guaranteed to free you of some blood if you aren't paying attention. I paired it with a Feather Hi-Stainless ( 6th shave on this blade) which is the sharpest razor blade money can buy. The payoff is a face smoother than a baby's ass.
British 2 band badger brush called "The Duke" by Simpson. Not the most expensive or luxurious badger brush I have but it is very good at infiltrating a thick beard. I had about a week's growth today so I brought out the heavy artillery.
Software:
Barrister and Mann Leviathan soap and matching aftershave splash. B&M is my favorite artisan soap maker. I have about 15 of their offerings. It is easy to lather and is thick and nice and slick. Perfect qualities for a shave soap. The scent is complex with notes of chamomile and licorice with a hint of musk and leather.

Thanks for all the great links, Bob. This really appeals to me. I’ll probably use the polished brass receiver of my Henry as my shave mirror. I’ll send pics.These blades pair very well with this razor. Beware of Chinese counterfeits. Also Gillette Silver Blue is a nice blade and cheaper.

I’m seeing you in a whole new light. I’m having a fantasy that you’re a 24 yr old pornstar brandishing her twin MP5s.
Don’t ruin the dream…

One can be a curmudgeon and not a cretin. Also a codger. I'm well on my way to becoming two of those things.

What’s the problem with Cynic? Were you thinking of something else?
Smoooth man , smooooth.How was it ?
I remember my old man had a razor like this. When he changed the blade he’d drop the used blade in the slot in the medicine cabinet. I could only imagine how many razors are still in that wall. He’d also let me “shave” when it had no blade in it. Those are some good memories.
