Temps in the single digits, so a 'summer' shave lifts the spirit! 3 passes after a 12k naniwa touch up and an outstanding shave!

Have a Great Monday Gents!

Good Evening Gentlemen, last saturday's shave :

http://i68.servimg.com/u/f68/17/80/53/25/sotd_115.jpg

- Dr Selby Lime cream
- Tadé silver plated brush
- "SOS" dual-head DE
- DR Harris Bay Rum AS

The DE sure is curious, but slightly damaged so it can't shave properly, so I ended up using my W&H Eltham.

Bonne soirée Messieurs ;)

The Dorko just came off a JNAT last night, and was perfect for today's shave :cool:

That Dorko is magnificent and rarely in this condition http://www.smiliesuche.de/smileys/zw...ilies-0022.gif

Monday morning January 18
There are so many beautiful works of art, AKA razors on here, that I am a little reticent to post my little 4/8" Champion. I shaved with it this morning and it was such an unbelievably close, smooth shave that I thought I would post a picture of the little guy here. When I look at all the shave of the day razors every morning it makes my RAD kick in big time. Anyway, here goes.

I like seeing what people use to get thru their daily routine. That little Champion looks like a nice shaver and if it gets you a nice, clean shave, that's all that matters.
Enjoy your shave and post again!

I hold a warm spot in my heart for this blade. While not my first straight, it did provide my first straight razor shave. As an experiment, this was touched up yesterday on a 12K SuperStone, as much to prove to myself once again that I prefer naturals as not, although I must admit that the shiny bevel is very attractive!
Further, My I. Coloniali is on it's last legs. I have a refill, but will not open it until I use some others up, or just give them away...
