Thread: SOTD - Sun Nov 29th - Sat Dec 5th

Good day, Gentlemen!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend.

Cream: Kiss My Face Lavender and Shea (awesome!)
Brush: 22mm Semogue Excelsior (no longer for sale)
Razor: The Aquanin American
AS: Captain Morgans
EDT: M7, Yves Saint Laurent

My wife traded me what was left of her KMF Lavender & Shea for a can of Barbasol, and I got the WAAAY better end of that deal! That's some good stuff!

I had my Excelsior up for sale recently, but think I'll keep it. I am not the biggest fan of the 22mm knot (I prefer 24mm) but there's something very pleasing to the eye and the hand about this brush that I simply cannot give up. Wonderful work by Sr. Gomes and the team at Semogue!

Prep: hot towel and proraso pre-shave cream
Razor: Solingen Souvenir of Berlin (from 7 day set)
Those razors are not just tourist stuff they realy shave.
I would compare them to my best Bokers, smooth, very forgiving, melt wiskers away, no irritation.
Brush: Super Badger E&C (Jagger)
Soap: Proraso shaving cream in a tube
AS: Alum block and Aqua Velva Ice Blue Gel

The secret is hot towels at least 3 time and stretch that skin

Results: Feel like a king with bbs shave, smell like a queen (no comment please) hihihi
