Thread: Sun - July 21st - Sat July 27th

Had my first shave in three days this morning and I didn't even take a picture of it. So above is an old SOTD picture. - I don't even have that razor anymore.

Prep: Clinique soap face wash (slightly scrubby, perfect)
Razor: Herder 15/16 (even grind, easy to hone)
Strop: Scrupleworks Swedish bridle (what a pleasure)
Brush: Plisson 16 (a looker but otherwise nothing special)
Soap: Palmolive stick (nuff said)
A/S: Guerlain Vetiver (mmmmmm)

Have a great week!

Semogue 620 | Gillette NEW (1930) | Astra SP | Body Shop Maca Root | Clubman Pinaud

Well I finally found a missing piece of my rotation. Some Doble Temple steel. And as a bonus the proceeds went to cancer research



Razor: Filarmonica Doble Temple #14 15/16

Although I really dislike figural scales, this "Ear of Corn" -- and a "Tobacco Sheaf" pair I once saw -- are the notable exceptions. I've only/always seen them on mid-West, "Heartland of America", barber-shop supply razors -- often, smaller wedges. Hey! Thanks for posting.

Smooth shaving!

Man, I LOVE wild strawberries! A pity you don't see them often in shops as they are so fragile... A big freshly baked wafer with wild strawberries and freshly whipped up cream. Holy moly, simply to die for...

After a shitty day and a shitty shave I decided instead of posting my first SOTD from my new house, I'd post a shot of my new shave den!!! Not bad considering I've only been SR shaving for 9 months!!

Welcome to the SOTD, Dixon. I'm a bit confused, though. What is that fugly abomination next to the OS mug? You should really be ashamed of yourself!
