(Tried out an antique store razor that I have been working on. Made a pass on one side of my face, put it down and picked up the old standby Dovo. Maybe I need to by more stones........)

Location: 40°50'38.61"N 73°56'19.68"W
Music: Francisco Canaro Las Grande Orquestas Del Tango
Razor: Filarmonica # 13 Doble Temple
Brush: Semogue 2009 LE Boar
Soap: Yardley English Lavender Shave Stick
Astringent: Dickenson Witch Hazel
AS: Aveda Gel
Result: BBS. This Fili is still a favorite after so many other great shavers, but does need a bit more time on the linen. The brush is starting to behave now. I've always enjoyed shave sticks, having Yardley in a stick was a real treat. The lavender was the best I've come across.
Gentlemen, I wish I could shave more often and contribute as frequently (and creatively) as some others here. SOTD is really turning into something I look forward to every day. Thanks to all of you!

Tuesday Morning
Prep: Hot Shower
Strop: SRD Latigo/Web 25/50
Brush: EJ Best Badger
Cream: CO Bigelow
Razor: Dominator 81 (touched up 6 shave ago)
AS: Nivea Sensitive Balm
Result: This was a very smooth BBS, shave the razor feels very good. This was my first real honing touch up other than using a barber hone. Brought back the edge, felt as good as when I first received the razor.

p.s. might have been beginners luck, but I'll take it.
