Thread: SOTD - Sun August 8th - Sat August 14th

Tried my hand at honing again. It is taking a while for a couple of razors i have been working on. Gave up again. I decided to pull out a box and pick another one to try. Breidora 21 tad more tham 5/8. She honed up fast. Made it seem like i knew what i was doing. Well i couldnt wait to try her out. Didnt even shower. Decided to try a shaving stick. Not qite what im use to. Love the smell. Finished with TOBS Lemon and lime. I hadvery little stubble. The true test. Very nice, soft feel. Cant wait to try again with a few days of growth. I cant believe i forgot to use my skin food. I really enjoy that stuff.

Nice one, in so many ways! Very good first SOTD.

Pre: Hot shower
Razor: Heljestrand 9 1/2
Brush: New Forest
Soap: MWF
Post: Proraso
AS: Dr Harris Sandalwood
Result: Very nice
Third time with the MWF and it gets better, today I palm lathered and it was the best so far - very nice lather indeed. Two passes and clean enough. The Helje works really nice aswell and I love the scales Neil made for me (thank you)!

After just under one week with a single creme/soap combo, two razors, and a single EdT, I feel like I'm getting too repetitious. Thanks for bearing with me-just 9 more days like this!

Razor: Case
Strop: SRD Modular
Lather: Proraso White + Penhaligon's BB + 4 drops
Brush: Best Badger Travel
Post: Thayer's Lavender
ASB: Nivea Sensitive + Lime SkinFood
EdT: Penhaligon's BB



Result, vey smooth today. I guess if I'm limited to a single creme and EdT, at least it's Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet. I just love this scent!
