    Joseph Rodgers 5/8 in translucent horn
    MWF
    Royall Bay Rhum

    Picked up the MWF and Bay Rhum at a shop in Charleston. Antiquing was horrible there and I was determined to get a new razor. Came back to FL and hit an antique mall and found the Rodgers. Cleaned up the blade and scales this past weekend (thanks for the tips, Max!) and gave it a proper go this morning.

    Great photo, Maximilian! I like your imagination. Water drops, etc...

    Today's shave was amazing, reminded me just why I love this way of shaving - 4+ days worth of whiskers just gone in 10 minutes, leaving me BBS, and then some.

    Brush: Semogue 2015
    Cream: TGQ Bay Rum & Sweet Orange
    Razors: Dovo "Best Quality" with Kraut & Donal "Regina" for my second touch-up pass.

    Two passes (first one XTG on sideburns, ATG on under-jaw and chin, and fool's pass). Second pass ATG/XTG on chin and under-chin. No need for AS, this was a smooth a shave as you would ever wish to see, and the TGQ cream kept my face nice and moisturised after the shave.
