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

Great two pass shave to BBS this morning. Dvorak provided a great soundtrack while the uberlather with the Proraso and BB was slick and provided great cushion. The Rex just keeps on sliding through the whiskers, and the skinfood is sublime. When you top it off with a spritz of the BB cologne how can you feel like anything but a gentleman ready to take on the world?

I am liking this panoramic shot ...the background countryside looks beautiful. Must be real nice waking up to a good shave with a view like that.

Pre-Shave: Hot shower + fresh lemon juice + Stephan's Smooth Conditioning Shaving Creme

Razor: 5/8" Thiers-Iassard Eagle Brand, Full hollow, Spanish Point

Brush: 25mm Vestavia Silvertip Badger

Creme/Überlather: Al Raz Da Bomb Custom Shave Creme

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel

Post-shave: Nivea Sensitive Skin

Cologne: Penhaligon Endymion

Facial Moisturizer: Dr. Hauschka's Quince Creme Facial Moisturizer

Result: Super smooth, BBS shave .

I had a wonderful shaving experience today, which was ALL about Al's Shave Creme.

Lather (Al's Da Bomb) - Yesterday, I received my custom shaving creme from Al, which by my request, was formulated with the scent of cloves, orange and a hint of cinnamon. Also by request, this SC is a bit denser than the new SC formulation. I LOVE the scent and the type of lather (i.e., more like überlather) this thing makes...which was not difficult at all (contrary to what I imagined), but required a bit of experimentation to figure the right amount of water. The consistency, cushion and glide that one gets from this SC are out of this world (definitely better than the new formulation, IMO). Thank you Al

Shave (Thiers Issard) - I don't know why, but I instinctively opted for my Tiers-Issard for testing Al's creme. And it delivered nothing short of a clean, smooth shave throughout the process.

Have a great Thursday guys .

nice picture, Robert. I like it!

Aura Glow as a Pre Shave Oil.... and a medium to ponder
Omega Sapone da Barba Shave Cream
Simpson's Ehsan
Genco Master Barber
Tony Miller strop.... 35 Linen/75 Leather
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Nivea AS Balm
Lucky Tiger Aspen AS

I hate to wish my life away, but the dreaded month of August is almost halfway in the can, and the Omega SC certainly helps to cool things down!
The Master Barber's capabilities exceed my own at weilding it. The Pound puppy shows a few stray whiskers, but not me after today's shave!
