I feel strange posting a DE shave here but I had such great results with the KD Creations products that I thought I'd risk the ire of the hard core straight razor folks by pasting this SOTD here. After a two day layoff, I thought I'd go with the Old Type DE. The KD Creations cream makes lather that is wonderfully thick and cushioning and had great results after two passes with more than enough for a two pass head shave. Karen's after shave milk is very soothing and the finish with the Woods of Windsor is a definite WOW.

I enjoy seeing the DE shavers too, thanks!!

That's a beautiful (and huge) W&B Leon. Is that a red G10 wedge...goes very well with the black scales. Classy

Today:
Hot shower, cold pressed soap pre-shave
Warm oil from NY Shave Club
Dirty bird Scuttle
Castle Forbes SC
Dubl Duc
AOS Aluminum blacok
Stephens Lavender AS

The DD makes a lot more noise than the W&B. Seems to be much lighter but a great shave. More importantly I was finally able to get the Castle Forbes to lather the way I like it. Needed to add much more water than with other creams. I finally understand why so many like it. When done properly, it provides a great lather.

Hi Jeff,
Nice DD buddy...are those C-Mon scales though? Interesting mix and match

PS: So, how was that bass you caught yesterday?

Okay this is my first ever SOTD so be gentle:

Prep: hot towel (no time for a shower)

materials:
shave soap: Fitjar bay rum (not the traditional Bay rum scent but wonderful)
brush: Vestavia (new to me, makes a very nice lather)
lathering mug: just an old mug i found at an antique shop for 10 cents it does a good jod at holding heat in especially if floated in a sink full of hot water
razor: limited production Solgen chemical steal "real Japanese hollow ground" (just arrived from Japan thanks to Jim, read more on Super Exciting Kanayama News thread) sorry don't know how to make links yet

post shave: ogallala original bay rum (excellant scent)
Nivea sensitive balm

Okay added photo, it was taken on my phone so dont expect too much.
