Sun August 11th - Sat August 17th
Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W
Razor: C.V. Heljestrand Stainless
Brush: Thäter
Lather: Edwin Jagger pre shave + sandalwood
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel
Nourishing: Edwin Jagger Sandalwood
Result: I've been using the Edwin Jagger pre shave cream lately and before tossing my own 2 cents on the performance, I wanted to make sure it was worth purchasing. I have to say for me personally it's a gift from heaven considering I have very sensitive skin. It has given me the smoothest, closest and irritation free shaves ever. Each and every shave has been flawless. As to the razor itself. Talk about a sharp stainless steel Swedish razor!
Another early bird SOTD. Going out again to party hard tonight and if it's a repeat from last night I won't be home before sunrise. It is Vegas after all.
Enjoy the new week gents!

Prep: Hot Shower - Lucky Tiger Face Wash
Lather: TOBS Jermyn Street Collection Shaving Cream
Scuttle: Georgetown Pottery G20 Opal
Post: Lucky Tiger After Shave Face Conditioner
Edc: TOBS Eton College Collection
Result: A fantastic, calm, easygoing shave today. The combination of TOBS and Lucky Tiger always brings a smile to SWMBO, which brings a smile to me. The razor performed very well, and a 3 pass, warm shave was wonderful. (The G20 was a recent BD Gift.)
Have a great Sunday everyone!

Thanked: 734I won't say this around my wife who was kind enough to buy me a new Hart Steel razor for my birthday last year. But without reservation I can honestly say that my TI Spartucus is without doubt the best shaving razor I have used to date. The feel of the steel, the edges it has, the design, and the way it feels in hand....all top notch.
Prep: Hot shower with 365 Sandalwood bath soap
Brush: Nobel silver tip
Soap/Cream: DR Harris Marlborough
Razor: TI Spartucus 7/8 square tip
A/S: Ogallala Sage and Cedar, Ems Balm
Beautiful shave!
