I Really Enjoy Reading The Shave Of The Day Thread

Next time you roll into cow town or Edmonton, check out Kent of Englewood. Also there is a guy in Calgary that does a lot of flea markets and farmers markets, his business is called Calgary Straight Razor shavers, his name is Ralf. He also carries a lot of stuff not stocked at Kent. Both of them have open containers so you can smell the product. Scent is a bit of a personal thing, and I still haven’t figured out how to make it work with online shoppping.

Smell-O-vision or scratch and still cards. They were a thing at one point. I may be dating myself.

A nod and a tip of the hat to DZEC (Dave) for pointing me to a Canadian distributor where I managed to score these.
I went to Kent of Inglewood to be put on a waiting list for the Czeck & Speake 88. They are currently out of stock but I hit the 'notify me' when it's back in stock option so hoping it won't be too long a wait.

Wow, you didn’t just pull the trigger, you got some of the best of the best.

I have the MDC and PannaCrema and am pretty sure you’ll really enjoy them. Been using both for over a year and haven’t made even a small dent in the contents. They appear expensive, but they last a long time.

Some great choices there. You can go wrong with any of them. Should keep you out of trouble for a while

I feel like Bummerman. Not that I don't like the SOTD nor do I begrudge anyone using lots of soaps and fragrances and PS /AS potions. What I mean is I have been encouraged to post shaves and my answer is my shaves are just not very interesting. I posted my one and that about covers it. I use 1 of 2 brushes I have. I have 3 mugs but only 2 different soaps, one of which won't fit in a mug. I have 2 different strops and one old belt that was my Dad's. I use store brand rubbing alcohol and I don't care about scents, in fact I prefer no scent. Maybe I get it from my dad. He used a brush till it had hardly enough bristles to make lather. I only knew him to use 1 mug. He always used Williams regular shave soap. He only had 1 straight razor...now razors I differ from him on because I have just short of 150. But the gist is he just.stuck.with what he knew and didn't stray from it. I guess he just liked what he knew and I must be similar. I do like.seeing them though so keep it up

Saw your SOTD. TOBS Sandalwood is one of my very favourite shaving creams. Just finished a tub of it this past weekend. My wife loves the aroma in the bathroom whenI use it and I really enjoy the scent for the rest of the day. Nice skin feel during and after the shave as well.
