    Thumbs up Week of August 8 SOTD - Monday

    Pre-Shave: Hot shower + Stephan's Smooth Conditioning Shaving Creme
    Razor: 7/8" Frederick Reynolds Wedge, Barber's Notch
    Brush: 22mm Vulfix Super Badger
    Creme/Überlather: CarrieM's Black Raspberry Vanilla Shave Creme + TOBS violet Soap + Glycerin
    Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (lavender, no alcohol)
    Post-shave: Trumper's Limes Skin Food
    Cologne: Truffit & Hill Spanish Leather
    Facial Moisturizer: NancyBoy Replenishing Facial Moisturizer
    Result: This morning, I had a surprisingly better shave with my Frederick Reynolds than I am used to. For me, this beast usually performs at its best when used on whiskers that are 2 days old or so, but today...well, what can I say? I was pleasantly surprised. Very smooth shave. For all I know, it could have been my prep . And CarrieM's creme...Top notch!! Delivers moist, consistent lather on demand .

    mbeem,

    I see you like Booster products too. I'm partial to "Polar Ice." How is that "Aquarius" fragrance?

    Very nice! Light, kinda floral. Similar to the Jickey IMO. I too like the Polar Ice. Very "barber-shoppy".. I also have the Mosswood which I like a lot too! The only one I've tried that I haven't been very impressed with has been their Bay Rum.

    Thank you guys...but it's going to be going to max for rescale. You see there are 2 factors behind this:

    1) The scale (the side you don't see in this pict) was broken clean in transit from Lynn to me (USPS abuse...go figure). It's now been superglued temporarily until Max is ready for it. I will discuss with Max what to dress this blade with...something simple and classic that accentuates the beauty of the blade will probably be the likely scenario.

    2) My wife wasn't crazy about those funky, red scales...She thinks that the scales needed to change and that the damage was a blessing in disguise...Sorry "Traveller" (he's the one that made the scales, I think)

    By my mind- ebony scales, or black horn would be nice.
    But ask your wife at first!!!

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
