    Brush: Simpson Two Band PJ3
    Strop: Tony Miller 3" Horsehide w/Linen...
    Razor: DD Wonderedge
    Pre Shave: Homemade Bulgarian Rose Otto w/assorted oils
    Soap: Xpec (it's really a cream....)
    AS: Zen for Men Cypress Yuzu

    Result: Really amazing shave. The Xpec soap is just great in all areas. I actually thought I screwed up, and put in way to much water..This stuff just eats up water like a sponge, No Foam...Rich Creamy Lather...That's what left after multiple passes....

    Some of you guys take really awesome pics, you must be photographers....

    Note: The Dairy Queen swirl at the tip of the brush.....

    This rantankarus is old as heck but shaves just incredibly. No irritation at all and perfect shave. Normally I don't like hyper hollow razors, but this thing is a wonder. Those old eskilstuna razor smiths knew what they were doing.

    Well today i test shaved 2 new razors. A nos Gotta and a New C-mon Made by DOVO.
    Both came pre honed. I started with the Gotta for the right side of my face and the C-mon for the left side.
    For those of you wondering how the new C-mon Dovo performs. Well let me say. She performed the same as the Gotta.
    Outstanding. 2 passes BBS no irritation. Fantastic deal for the money.

    In memory of those lost on 9-11-01
    Strop: Rup Razor
    Brush: TGN Custom
    Razor: Novell-Shapleigh
    Cream: AOS Sandalwood
    AS: Bay Rum
    Result: Nice shave.

    I remember 9/11/01 very vividly. I was on my way to work listening to the radio when the 1st plane hit. The 2nd plane hit as I was walking from my car to a meeting and I didn't hear about it until inside. Management turned off the news and started the meeting. When the news of the pentagon made it to us, upper management shut down the entire company and told us to go be with our families.

    Thanks for all the great SOTD's this week gentlemen!
