~ Today's Shave, September 17th, 2010 ~
Cream/Soap: Tom's of Maine, Natural Mint
Brush: Penworks, Silvertip Badger
Razor: Frankenrazor...Hoffritz Slant head on Bob's Razor Works Ultra Lite, anodized Black
Blade: Feather
Balm: Kiehl's
The slant bar razor has a safety bar that is curved rather than straight which, in tandem with a matching curved cap plate bends the blade in an strong curve. This presents the blade to the beard in an angle which results in a shearing action as the blade passes the hair. The result...a very close shave, though one needs to be extra careful when new to it.
The Slant is one of my favorite razors and I look forward to using it.
Tom's of Maine just discontinued this fabulous all natural, domestic shave cream. It gets a bad rap because it lacks some of the glitz of the imported stuff, but I love it and have a few tubes in inventory.
Nikon D3, 70-200 f/2.8 VR, mounted on a Berlebach Mini Tabletop tripod with RRS BH55L ballhead. Nikon Speedlights fired remotely via Radio Popper triggers.
