Oscar, I mean this very sincerely, that homemade leadwood handle, in the size and proportions shown, is the best looking brush I have ever seen. I've seen a lot of beautiful brushes, and this is equal or superior. Period!
Thank you, that's very kind.

This is the first time I've tried Maca Root Shaving Cream and it performed nicely. Nice shave today, have a good one.

Decent shave this morning but the blade should have been better. A couple of passes on pasted strop could have made a big difference. Have a good one.
Today I finally got back into my sweet straight razors. Today's razor was the W&B faux tortoise barber's notch. I really wish I had time to post my SOTD photos as Oscar does, even though my photos aren't quite as appealing to the eye. Maybe one of these days. . .

The knot on this brush is a Semogue set in a slightly larger hole and lofted at 52mm. I seem to be reaching for it often even though I consider myself a boar fan.
I don't know if it qualifies as a straight razor, but for sure it's not a safety razor. I'm talking about the CJB shavette from Korea. Uses the Feather Pro/Kai Captain disposable blades. It was what I shaved with today. If I ever get into a knife fight, I'm bringing the CJB.
