Thread: SOTD - Sun April 4rd - Sat April 10th

Location: 40°46'22.50"N 73°58'18.77"W
Music: Elgar Variations and Sibelius N. 3
Razor: Juan Vollmer S.A. Palmera 14
Brush: Rudy Vey Ivory 2 Band
Soap: Penhaligon's English Fern
Astringent: Ogallala Bay Rum
AS: L'Occitane Cade
Result: Easily one of my best shaves yet.

I don't know about you gents, but I have a great Easter day. I played in Central Park for 3 hours with a sax buddy of mine for all the beautiful people in their best dressed, the weather was great, the tips were great, I felt great all day. Only way to cap such a day off is with a hot shower and a shave.

Thanks to Max this is the sturdiest and classiest razor in my rotation. It's also obviously the sharpest, in a single stroke putting to shame the 3 other razors I was shave testing. Back to the hones!

Thanks. No, too lazy to set up anything serious. This is just my old Olympus C5050 on a mini tripod. I believe it was set at 50mm supermacro, at something like f2.4. Same for the Friodur shot. The bokeh is just a result of the extremely close focus.
