Thread: SOTD - Sun Oct 11th- Sat Oct 17th

Nothing nearly as fancy as the others, but...

Strop - Vintage Blades 2'' Black Latigo (with the webbing)
Cream - C.O. Bigelow
Brush - an unmentionable relic left over from when I was a teenager (a disgraceful old paint brush-esque thing from a drugstore. When it's drying it takes on the posture of decrepid old man waiting in the rain for the bus. I'm looking forward to my first real brush)
Razor - Wostenholm Pipe 5/8 round
Aftershave - cold water does the trick and my wife likes the Bigelow smell

I have a really small arsenal, so most days are just like this. I did try the TOBS Rose and while it was a little easier on the skin, I'm not sure I was into the smell. I told my wife she can also feel free to use it on her legs!

Well, this is what they say about it, and I totally agree. A very nice experience. I really like the feel and smell of it. I do have troublesome skin when the cold comes in the fall and winter here in Norway, this one is one of the best taking care of that.

Soothe sensitive skin after shaving with this light lotion perfect for use after both wet and dry shaving.The fast-absorbing balm cools and protects dry sensitive skin against dryness. Organic jojoba seed oil protects skin without any greasiness. Biodynamic aloe is rich in vitamins, minerals and enzymes that nourish and sooth razor burn. Antiseptic myrrh is a natural astringent that calms small shaving wounds. The lightly moisturizing formula leaves skin soft, smoothed and relaxed. Has an herbal scent with citrus notes.

Amund.

As I promised, I shaved with Monica today. Excellent shave, if I hadn't accidently pressed wrong angle against my face and left a little cut it would have been perfect. I'm still amazed Max was able to sharped the little upswept point, worked great on the little stubble at the nostrils.

Only a few shaves left with my T&H 1805, lasted a year. Gonna try Castle Forbes lime next.

End of the day - Very hot Outumn day (30ºC)
