Thread: 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!

Razor: Pumeto 6/8
Brush: 24mm silvertip custom
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!

Cold water face lathered shave. The Kiss My Face is a very good soap Too bad it was buried in the women's cosmetics where the wife found it. I think the are missing the boat and should market a version called Kiss My A== for the men's shaving section. It is too good a soap to be missed.

Good morning and good Sunday !!

Razor – Adamantine Edge
Brush – Pixelfixed custom boar
Soap – Green Mountain Cheaha
AST – OSMA Alum
AS – Geezer Wheezers Homemade Bay Rum- w/Tonka bean infusion

This was a light restoration the blond horn scales are clean and intact with no flea bites. The blade was what I was after, no pitting was present. The Adamantine smiling wedge honed up nice and even with no tape. A great vintage shaver brought back for a pleasant wedge shave.
Have a nice week!
