Thread: SOTD - Sun Nov 1st - Sat Nov 7th

Soap: TOBS Eton College SC (love this scent, it's definitely a keeper)
Brush: Tweezerman with 22mm GN silvertip
Razor: Dovo Best Quality and Harris Bros 559 wedge for touchups
AS: none needed

Result: brilliant shave, beautifully smooth. Now this brush has stopped shedding and smelling, it's an amazing brush, although it does take a little more cream than my other brush in order to make a decent lather. My razors are right back at their optimum sharpness, a good stropping (60 linen, 100 leather) has brought their edges back for a short while at least.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: EJ Best Badger
Soap: The Shave Den: Mojito
Strop: Tony Miller Heirloom tri-strop
Razor: Böker "The Celebrated" 7/8
AS: Geo. F. Trumper – Lime skin food

Result: BBS

This morning:

Prep: hot shower and a dab of olive oil massaged in
Cream: Wilkinson blue cream
Scuttle: stacked Ikea "primitive mugs"
Brush: no-name badger
Razor: Hope Cutlery Co 738
After: Williams sensitive lotion

another great pic Nightbreed on page 6 and CADE must be the namr of the L'Occitan AS I sometimes use thanks I just called it eau de toilet and that sounds gross so thanks for the unintended but helpful tip= L'Occitan CADE AS.

+1 on that. nightbreed takes some of the best pictures, and he shaves often so it's a different treat every day.

Beard Prep: Hot wash, conditioner, hot towel soak
Razor: W&B 8/8 Wedge
Strop: Dovo
Brush: Kent
Soap: Tabac
Astringent: Alum Block

Shave from last Tuesday:

Location: 33° 27' 23.59" - 88° 47' 57.52" Elev: 389 ft. above sea level
Beard Prep: Hot Towel
Razor: Boker Rastus No 51
Brush: No Name Brand Badger Brush
Lather: Tabac Soap
AS: Pinaud Clubman
Result: BBS. First time using soap instead of cream or uberlather. Tabac is a fantastic thing (as most people already know).

Preparation: Piano Concerto No. 21 in C, 2nd movement (Elvira Madigan) and a few sips of my favourite Whiskey

Razor: Joseph Rodgers & Sons

Strop: Jemico

Brush: Colonel Conk Travel brush (..or the "Wee Yank" as I call it. It's small but still does the job very well. )

Soap: Sapone da Barba (Italian Barber soap)

AS: Lucky Tiger After shave & Face tonic

Result: BBS except for a couple of small areas I have a hard time getting at - Skin a little sore after the shave. It was the first time I tried the soap.. (Just got it from rasurpur.de) I have a little sensitive skin and I found the soap didn't do as much for my skin as f.ex. Proraso does, but it really helped the razor glide through my 2-day stubble.. Maybe even better than when I use the Proraso Pre-shave before slapping on the Proraso shaving cream. I recommend it if you don't have too sensitive skin.
