Thread: SOTD - Sun September 12th - Sat September 18th

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Pre-Shave Oil: Truffit & Hill

Razor: 6/8" Respecto #77, Full Hollow, Round point

Brush: 24mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger

Überlather: Cella Crema Da Barba + Mama Bear's Almond Shave Soap + Glycerin

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol)

Post-shave: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

EDT: Penhaligon Endymion

Result: Today was an opportunity to see how far I could push the Cella's performance...so, I mixed it with shave soap and glycerin. I got thicker and moister lather. The glycerin based soap and the tallow based Cella were quite complementary. Last night, I gave the Respecto a quick spin on the Escher and I was very pleased with the results. A comfortable and smooth shave.

Have a fabulous Thursday gentlemen .

For the heck of it, I left a goatee. Haven't had one of these in over 10 years.

nice razor, bassguy!

I give this watch someone (a Prof) to repair it for me.

I'm able to hone my straight razors - shot with my shotguns and my .45, but I'm not a watchmaker or precision mechanic.

Well, your taste in straights reflects in your pipes and watches.

Didnt get to post. Well I recieved my Kanayama. Bot is she a sweet little thing. I am very impressed with the razor. I think mine needs a touch up but it still performed outstandingly.

This is my SOTD for the entire week thus far as I have been travelling since Monday and was sick on Sunday. This is my travel kit and it gets used every day. It really lets me relax while on the road. I haven't had a chance to go through all the posts yet, but from what I have seen, it looks like there are some great pics and shaves happening out there. Keep them coming, going home today...WOOOOHOOOOHHHH!

The cigar is to end out the week and is a Alec Bradley "Tempus". The pic is from my macbook pro camera and it appears to have mirror imaged everything (sorry!). Have a great day gentlemen!
