And your SOTDs are always creative and fun.

Thanks SZ,

The Ern was a restore by Max, it was love at first sight so I pull the trigger fast, it has been in my rotation for over six months now. I also enjoy your posts so keep 'em coming. HOG

They are great shavers aren't they? Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine!

Razor: Jonathan Crookes, Sheffield, 6/8
Brush: Barbershop Boar/Badger
Soap: KD Creations Cucumber Melon
Aftershave: Skin Bracer

I came over for the weekend and the first shave of the weekend went very smooth. Joed shaved with the same materials right after me.

Pre: Hot shower
Razor: E G Gustavsson
Brush: Ikon 24 mm chubby silvertip
Soap: Omega
Post: Proraso
AS: Alcolado Glacial
Result: VVC - Very, very clean
This little blade is one of the coolest. both in shaving and lookers. I´m very happy to own her

JrJoed and Mikael those are both some incredible fine and beautiful razors. Great posts. Thank you for sharing.

Pre-Shave: Stephan's Smooth Shave Cream

Razor: 5/8" Dubl Duck Special #1, Spike Point

Brush: 22mm Vulfix Super Badger

Superlather: CarrieM Bay Rum Creme + Trumper's violet soap

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel

Post-Shave: Trumper's Sandalwood Skin Food, Trumper's Moisturizer

Cologne: Trufitt & Hill Gradton 1805

Result: I got this Dubl Duck special #1 from a B&B member last week...beautiful bluish tang. Cleaned out the blade with Maas (still has some micro residual pitting I can't get rid of with current tools), reset the bevel and sharpened/polished the edge on my Naniwa 5, 8 and 12K stones followed by 10 laps on CrOx linen and 50 laps on leather. My experience: Wooowww, what a shave...This blade ROCKS !! Edge was wickedly sharp. Now, I know what the fuss is about with Dubl Ducks (I have a second one - Satinedge - which I haven't used too much and a third - Godedge - which is being rescaled/restored by Max). This DD Special #1 wacked my one-day old whiskers like a fine tuned lawn mower. I was also happy with my honing ability (which I don't have a lot of experience with...first bevel reset). CarrieM's Bay Rum creme (along with Trumper's violet soap) delivered the moist superlather for this exceptionally smooth shave.

Have a great weekend guys
