BlacknTan, SOC brush has shown up in a few of your SOTD's so far... What do you think of it? I've got one that'll be shipped out to me sometime soon, but want to know what others think of this brush.

Thanks

Geo. Wostenholm Celebrated 5/8
C&E BBB
C.O. Bigelow sc
Thayers Cucumber WH w/ aloe
Pashana a/s
Nivea Extra Soothing a/s balm
Woods of Windsor Edt

Very good shave with the Wosty as always...the Bigelow provided a nice cushion with it's mild menthol kick. I like the Pashana on occasion but it's scent tends to linger (not a bad thing, but interferes with any fragrances to follow). Went for the WOW anyway despite the Pashana...

SOTD Saturday July 10, 2010

Razor: 13/16 Frederick Reynolds Wedge Hollow Point in Bone
Washington "The Champion of Liberty" Blade etch
Shaving Cream: Proraso
Lather Bowl: Ceramic
Scuttle: Ceramic
Brush: Col Conk Barbershop Badger
ASB: Nivea Replenishing
Aftershave: Mennen Original Skin Bracer

Just rescaled this FR Wedge in Gray Bone.
The original scales were badly deteriorated, broken and being held together with adhesive tape. I love this razor! It's one of the smoothest shavers that I have. Weighs a ton!

Hi SZ...

See post # 169...

Missed that one. Sorry.

Lookin' forwards to it!

Hot Shower
Glycerin Preshave
Imperial Extra Hollow Ground
VDH Boar
Omega Soap
Corn Huskers Lotion/Aqua Velva Classic
Davidoff Cool Water
I just don't see how it would be physically possible to get a better shave than this. 3 passes, BBS, nice menthol bump from the soap and the AV, it really was a perfect shave.

Pre: Truefitt & Hill Pre-shave oil and hot towel
Razor: 7/8 Robert Williams 1/4 grind
Brush: Shavemac DO1
Cream: Cyril R. Salter, Classic Almond
Astringent: Thayers Peach Witch Hazel
After shave: Pinaud Clubman

Prep: Warm shower--followed by Robeson bay rum beard prep method
Brush: Rooney 3-1 faux Tortoise "Super Badger"
SS/SC: Valobra “Menthol” + TOBS “Shaving Shop” = Superlather
Strop: VB Red Latigo--55 fabric; 60 leather
Razor: 5/8 Dovo “Black Star”
Astringent: Thayer’s Original Witch Hazel
ASB: Zirh “Soothe”
AS: Floid (Spanish) “Suave”
Result: Cool, calm and collected…

Today's superlather was truly super. The mixture of Valobra SS and the TOBS SC exploded in my shaving scuttle. Best lather and best shave I've had since I began shaving with a straight.
