Thread: SOTD - Sun July 4th - Sat July 10th

Pre: Hot/cold shower
Razor: Garantie
Brush "Henk" 20 mm silvertip
Cream: Vulfix Rose
Post: Proraso
AS: Dr Harris Sandalwood
Result: Very good!
This Solingen blade is very nice, looks like a pretty plain German 5/8, but boy does she shave nice!

Pre: Hot Shower w/ Conditioner in the beard
Scuttle: DB 1.5
Brush: BentonClay/Vulfix Silvertip
Lather: BentonClay LimeBergamot + C.O. Bigelow (4 drops Glycerin)
Razor: 4/8 Unnamed Solingen

First time out with the little Solingen after just having it sharpened for the first time by Sham. He put a beautiful edge on it and the razor was giving me one of the smoothest shaves yet. Then, I got a reminder about not loosing concentration. Just as I started to think how nice it was shaving me, I moved my tongue inside my cheek where I was using it to help me stretch my skin and wound up taking a divot that was reminiscent of Tiger Woods making a 75 yard approach into a green.

Overall: The razor gave me an incredibly good BBS. If only I could say the same about me!

We will start way East down the ridge line "on the left side of this pic" and work our way to the West "right in the pic",, The trail we are going to follow is over 100 miles long following the Lake Pend Oreille shoreline, but I doubt the wife and I will go that far


Starting off this morning with a fantastic shave...

Also, how do you like the BB? I'm thinking of getting a bottle of it myself, but it would be a "blind" buy as I've never smelled it...

Thanks. It is a half hollow 6/8 by Joe Chandler.

BB and Castile are my favorite scents from Penhaligon's. Robin sums up the scent well in his review of the shaving cream. Only difference I find is the EDT opens with more citrus than the SC or ASB. It is potent stuff, and one spray lasts well into the day on me.

If you want to try it out, Penhaligon's has sampler packs for sale. I found the British Art Museum in New Haven sold Penhaligon's and was able to try the different scents. I am sure there is something similar in the DC area.
