Razor: Filarmonica Doble Temple 13 (7/8)
Strop: None (Wicked Sharp Shave Ready Edge courtesy of Glen)
Lather: Ogallala Bay Rum + CarrieM Bay Rum + 6 drops Glycerin
Brush: Shavemac Custom Silvertip (23mm)
Post: Thayer's Lavender
ASB: CarrieM
Cologne: Penhaligon's Endymion
What can be said about an uberlather with Ogallala and CarrieM? It is shaving perfection. The scent is unbelievable, the cushion is downy soft and the glide is unmatched. It was nirvana!
Despite the awesome lather I built, I must admit to being a bit anxious during this shave. Glen warned me that it was a "lone" hone, and therefore wickedly sharp - even by his lofty standards! So, with his warning in mind, I set off to sample the famous Filarmonica quality. All that I can say is: WOW!
I don't know if it was simply the fact that I was concentrating intently on avoiding any pressure and keeping the angle very shallow as Glen advised, or it's the razor but I barely felt it on my face. This thing just wiped the whiskers off with such a buttery smoothness. After two passes and some touchup my skin was BBS!
What a great week, gentlemen, keep the inspiring pictures coming!

Great looking DT13 you got there...very nice indeed
. These Spanish shavers do have some sort of magic shaving edge I can't quite put my finger on.
PS: I see you have already received your Endymion from Phil...how do you like it?

Anniversary Shave
Pre-Shave: Hot shower + Stephan's Conditioning Smooth Shave Creme Razor: 7/8" Le Grelot "P. Hospital & Co.", Half Hollow, Round point Brush: 23mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger Überlather: Al Raz Custom Semi-dense Formulation Shave Creme Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol) Post-shave: Trumper's Sandalwood Skin Food Facial Moisturizer: Trumper's Facial Moisturizer Cologne: Penhaligon Opus 1870 Picture: This was at taken at Horseshoe Bend near Page, Arizona. Result: Today is our 3rd anniversary and being a special day, I had my angel pick out the SOTD hardware for today, which you see listed above. Who am I to argue, right 
? The Le Grelot is one of Max' masterpieces 
, rescaled in butterscotch micarta. Well, the combination of Al's custom scent Bomb (which my wife loves) and the Le Grelot (which I love) was a recipe fit for kings. I wanted to spend the entire day shaving 
. Tonight (since I can't take the day off...too many fires to put out at work), my wife will enjoy a special dinner fit for a Queen: Moroccan fish with Couscous (probably with a 2006 bottle of Seven Deadly Zins Zinfandel). And yes, in case you are wondering, I am making dinner. And, judging by the feel of my face, I get the impression that I'll still be sporting this BBS look way into late night.
A closer view at the SOTD gear:
Enjoy your Wednesday gentlemen.
