Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W

Razor: Wade & Butcher 'The Celebrated' Extra Hollow

Brush: Simpson Polo 10 - 2 band

Soap: Ogallala Bay Rum

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel

AS: Ogallala bayrum / sandalwood

EDC: Elizabeth Arden / sandalwood

Summary: After drooling over several W&B's this past week (not mine) I couldn't resist taking my W&B for a spin. It's for a good reason I consider this razor to be amongst my best shavers. BBS with no effort. Smooth, sharp and straight down to business. I went the whole Ogallala bay rum route. Shower, lather and AS splash. Divine. I ended up the evening outside with some Four Roses Bourbon and a delicious BBQ.

A beautiful smooth shave, two pass shave with minor touch up, I was going to bid on a British mint boxed Aristocrat on Ebay that ended a day or two ago, but couldn't force myself to part with £94, plus postage, even though it would probably be worth it to a few people, but not to me . that doesn't mean i.m not interested in a mint British Aristocrat, but not at those prices.
