    Thank God for styptic pens......
    My first cut occurred today, didn't pay too much attention (I was in a pretty bad mood), so I went too steep over an area on my chin that had no lather left. Well, lesson learned - in the future I may take a DE or even a cartridge razor when I am not fully ok.

    Glad it was not too bad, have you ever tried a Rolls or similar?

    Speick SS
    Le Grelot 6/8 (can't get enough of this razor!!)

    First day ever with Speick. Reminds me very much of the Palmolive stick. Same slickness and lather. I can see both sticks lasting me a few years!!

    Nothing very special here, but it is my first SOTD post

    Prep : Hot shower/hot towel
    Pre-shave : Proraso
    Razor : 6/8 starter from Ruprazor
    Shave soap : Tabac
    Post Shave : Thayer's Unscented Witch Hazel
    Aftershave : Dr. Harris aftershave milk

    First time using the Dr. Harris, a nice clean scent, a little lemony. I like it.

    Next stop : Upgrade to a scuttle.

    Location: 40°50'38.61"N 73°56'19.68"W
    Razor: Filarmonica Especial Para Barbas Duras
    Brush: Rudolph Vey Horn 2 Band Custom
    Soap: Penhaligon's English Fern
    Astringent: alum+Thayer's Witch Hazel w/ Aloe
    AS: Aveda Gel for Men
    Result: Wow. Easily in the top 2 shaves ever. After a spat of low quality edges, it's good to see that I can hone damn well once in a while.
    Built my lather differently: soaked brush during shower, shook lightly thrice, held soap bowl over mug (new, cost $1) while loading brush (5 seconds, max) allowing sudsy water to drip into mug, then whipped it up. Didn't need any more water, was slick and gorgeous the rest of the shave, more so than normal. An over eager nick or two notwithstanding, result was BBS.
