Great pics gentlemen!

Pre-Shave: Stephan's Smooth Conditioning Shaving Creme

Razor: 6/8" Full Hollow C.V. Heljestrand "Royal Kindal", Round Point

Brush: 22mm Vulfix Super Badger

Lather: "Da Bomb" (Saigon)

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel

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

Cologne: Trufitt & Hill Grafton 1805

Result: This morning, I had the pleasure of trying two new things: 1) sample of Da Bomb Saigon shave creme sent by my good friend Bill (aka, LegalBeagle - Thank you Bill, and 2) The Heljestrand Royal Kindal full hollow razor, which I snatched off B&B. The creme has a lemongrass, peanut smell (which I didn't mind), makes a great consistent lather and stays moist throughout an entire pass . The Royal Kindal didn't have a good bevel or edge, so over the weekend, I reset the bevel on this (like my Dubl Duck) with my Naniwa 1K, and took the edge through my 5K, 8K and 12K Naniwas followed by 10 laps on CrOx linen and 50 laps on leather (Premium IV - SRD). The edge was even and super sharp. The ultimate test came today as this blade delivered an extra smooth shave...no pulling, no tugging. Just pure, unadulterated shave.

Have a great week guys

And Guys. You all ROCK big time. Thx for making the SOTD better each and every week. Our forum has grown from just a few SOTDS's to a daily album of some of the hottest, rarest, shiniest most striking razors of the whole shaving world!

I (and the whole SRP team) really feel blessed with all of you.

Max maestro,
You're the inspiration . I was in the mood for something different than the usual "shoot and post". The next few will probably be in a similar light.

Thank you Bill,
It's is an awesome blade. In fact, during my short tenure of str8 shaving, I have yet to meet a blade I didn't like. I am sure that as more experience accrues over time, so will my discrimination skills...I'll be more picky.

Also, thanks for sending me some of that "Bomb" creme that Al Raz makes (Am I right?)...it was a great lather this AM. Now, between CarrieM, Al Raz and his "Da Bomb" and Mama bear soaps, I am going to go crazy . They are all Awesome.

I like your SOTD and glad that BB has become a daily routine in your shaves.
