Ogallala Bay Rum preshave treatment
Yardley Shaving Soap
Thayer's Witch Hazel w/ Aloe
Aveda Gel + 444
Not quite BBS. I'd rate the edge a 6 out of 10. After the mediocre shave I really wanted to send this to Max or Lynn to get a proper edge on it, but what do I have all these hones for? Shall I be helpless forever or shall I learn how to put an effortless edge on any razor? Time is an interesting ally indeed.
Shave on.

~ KD Creations (CarrieM's) Bay Rum Shaving Cream, yum yum, in my G5 Scuttle, mix your cream/lather first while water boils in hot pot, then when the cream is how you like it then add the hot water in the base, continue working cream to your liking for a wonderfully warm pleasure

Gem Featherweight
Gem Blue Star
Vulfix Badger
Old Dominion Shave Soap
English Leather Spiced Cologne
Woke up early this morning (5:00am) just to shave, I don't really like shaving at night so I would rather wake up early.
Prep: shower, wash face, condition face
Soap: Col Conk
Scuttle: Dirty Bird 1.5 (got a steal of a deal)
Razor: Boker
Brush: A Bjanzen Custom, signature and all.
Shave: Great, still trying to work on right side of my face with left hand, having a really hard time with it, or maybe I am stropping wrong and dulling one side, not sure yet. Other than that, best shave yet, cool thing about this whole straight razor shave is that your shaves just get better each time.

The stiffer bristles really seemed to work the lather into the beard. Downside is it did not hold as much lather. Oh yeah, this razor failed HHT, but shaved brilliantly. Picture Attachment 37005

Cream: CarrieM's Lilac -I don't quite have a nose for flowers, but my girlfriend LOVES this stuff
Brush: No-Name Amazon Badger, soon to be an Omega #11137, by the same girlfriend's hand :D
Scuttle: The trusty Schwarz, this time primed with 2 cups (that's how much it holds, for record) of boiling water. It was an amazing difference. 3 passes, 45 minutes, and every lather -all 5 of them- were either hot, or toasty. Didn't even sink to lukewarm, and the dipping basin is brilliant. /shameless plug
Razor: Dovo Best Quality 5/8ths
I prefer 6/8ths, but the DOVO is a great cutter. BBS, Warm, and faintly scented with Lilacs. A wonderful shave to end a great day.
~ Griffon XX
~ Edwin Jagger medium bublous silvertip
~ Taylor of Old Bond Street Rose Shave Cream
~ Ogallala Bay Rum After Shave, the end of a 2 oz. bottle, though you do have to shake the Ogallala before using, it seemed that this last little bit was extra strong and spicy, very very very warm, like a spicy strong dessert slowly worked into the visage
~ Breakfast
~ Shower
~ Ogallala Bay Rum After Shave with Sandalwood

Caramba! El guapo esta aqui!
Razor: Genco Grant
Brush: Shavemac 177 st
Lather: Castle Forbes Lime
Aftershave: Captain Smith's Bay Rum Lime~I really like the smell and the feel of this Bay rum. The lime is more of an citrus smell without the sweet side that my CF retains in its fragrance.
Hog that has to be one of your finest SOTD posts yet, brutha.
