Soap/Mug: Tabac
Brush: Medium Badger
ASB: Nivea Replenishing
Aftershave: Mennen Skin Bracer

Wonderful Shave this morning! (Thanks Ben) This razor has made the rounds but I think it has found a home here with me! Super keen edge and smooth shave. It will definitely be in the top drawer of my rotation. Great shaves shown by all this morning Gentlemen!

Well, It's been a long time since my last SOTD, and a long time since my last shave, so I come back in style:

Razor(s): a 6/8 Thiers-Issard worked back for the hard working WTG, and my beloved 6/8 World Master 194 for the XTG and ATG
Brush: A lovely 24mm from SRD, the Stephen's Wood Working #6
Soap: Taylor of Old Bond Street's Sandalwood
Cream: The Body Shop's Maca Root cream
Strop: 50/60 on an SRD Poly-Web and Bridle for each razor prior to the shave... Then 20/30 on the Wool Felt and Premium I modular paddle during and after the shave

Results?: BBS And thoroughly relaxed. About. Damn. Time... I felt so unkempt

Really like seeing someone besides myself using Skin Bracer. Doesn't seem to get much chatter. I have a fondness for it....reminds so much of my father. Very nostalgic scent for me. Thanks for posting.

My Dad wore it as well and, it's a very nostalgic scent that is reminiscent of a lot of men in the 50's that's for sure.

Yeah, those Joseph Allen's are some really nice shavers. I'm as happy with mine as you are with yours.

Interesting... I just found one... I believe it's a 5/8... Once my buffers show up, she'll be heading out the door (too small for my meaty hands)
