Thanks, Celestino.

A big 'Thanks' to Jamie [Celticcrusader] for stepping up and having started the new SOTD since the forum was down when I went to bed at midnight last night. I had to merge the posts this morning so Bob turned out to be the first one to post his shave of the day.

Glad to see the amazing spirit and SOTD's

Have a great one.

My favorite razor is back home after a short loan to a friend in NY.

Hot Towel Prep
Tabac Shave Soap
Simpsons M7 Manchurian
Dorko #42 Heavy Grind
Scrupleworks Vegetable Tanned Horse .. 30/50
Witch Hazel
Comme des Garcons Wonderoud EdT

The Dorko was just refreshed on my Thuringian bout. I always said that if there were no coticules on the face of the planet, I'd be a Thuringian/Escher guy, and this shave proved that out.

Tabac? What to say... I'm using it to finish it off and make room, as it will not be replaced. I don't know why this soap underwhelms me so much. I like the scent, but.... It just leaves me cold.

Wonderoud ... I love every Oud scent I've tried, a this one is no exception..

As I look through the posts, I see too many fantastic photos to single any one, or five out... They are all beautiful. I blame my poor photos on my old camera, but any workman worth his salt never blames his tools!

Enjoy the week, gents..
