Geneva Cutlery 5/8
Semogue 2009 LE #19
Tabac ss
Thayers Cucumber WH w/ aloe
Musgo Real a/s balsam
Tabac Cologne

Fantastic shave with the Geneva Cutlery and Tabac lather. I tend to overload the brush when I use the Tabac and it lasted through two passes and a few small touch ups (and a two pass head shave). This razor is among my favorites as it always feel good on my face and handles well. I must be doing something right because I gave myself the best shave I ever have had using a straight. It's certainly encouraging...

Nice shot! Welcome to the SOTD!

A shave with my son using a Father's Day gift from a few years ago...

Brush: Shavemac 23mm Silvertip
Shave Cream: CarrieM's Cedar Sandalwood
Strop: SRD nylon webbing and Bridal
Razor: J. A. Henckels 7/8's Friodur
Cologne: Royall Muske

Results: FANTASTIC!!

Nice razor, Monroe.

Last weekend when I was at Lynn's he made some lather with Castle Forbes "Lime" for me to try. Out of this world! I would have never been brave enough to spend that much money on cream. But now that I know how little it takes to make the best lather I've ever put on my face - I'll definitely be willing to fork over the $.

Chris, great to see a Sta-Sharp in your arsenal. For me one of the best shaving blades bar-none.
