Aura Glow as a Pre Shave Oil
Gibbs frescura marinha Shave Cream
Vulfix 660 Badger
Geneva Cutlery Ontario 11/16ths
SRD Premium 1 strop .. 40 Linen/80 Leather
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Nivea As Balm
Ivy Club Spice .. Dollar store Old Spice clone

I don't know why I don't see the Gibbs Marine Fresh cream in use more often... It whips up great lather with a very pleasant scent and it's becoming a favorite. The new SRD P1 strop is a pleasure to use!

SOTD Wednesday August 18, 2010

Razor: 5/8 Imperial Razor Warrented, Full Hollow, Spike Point
Pre-Shave: Proraso Crema Pre Barba

Brush: Semogue Boar 1460
ASB: Nivea Replenishing

The little Imperial is the lightest razor I have in my rotation. It requires a little more pressure than the thicker/heavier blades but, it still provides an outstanding shave!

No, it was a box for painting-material (pencils, painting-coal et cetera). The plan is... a really nice box from Thiers-Issard, but this boxes are very expensive.

Tom,
The TI boxes are really great. I have a 7- and a 28-razor display box. They are a bit pricey but worth it...it's beautiful wood. I got the one without the blue velvety interior (I think classic shaving sells the velvety interior). The only downside is that if you have scales that are a bit thicker than normal (whetever normal means), then it won't fit in the slots. Also, I heard that 8/8 may be problematic...but, I don't have any 8/8, but have had no problems with the 15/16" Wacker or the Fili DT14 (which seems to be 15/16+).

if you can, get yoursef one...you won't be disappointed.

I got mine from here (the 7-day set box). I thought I also got the 28-day set here as well, but they didn't see that listed .
