Nice, smooth shave.

Time to break out the Golden Edge for Friday's one pass shave:
Oil for the smoothness, aqua for the burn, and AOS for the healing..

After viewing some incredible photographs from many folks that post in the SOD thread, I have some questions:

Do you prepare the content of the photo in a place other than your shave den or bathrooom? Also, is it done during another part of your day or just while you are doing your daily routine?
There are some really great photo's and I was wondering if they are carefully prepared or just "off the cuff" stuff.

Thanks

In the morning I prepare my stuff in the bathroom or the kitchen- at first for the photography- sometimes with a tripod, sometimes with a flash (not directly flash!). Sometimes I also use different backgrounds.
If the photography is taken, I post it and get my shave. And sometimes I post it after the shave.
It is very different.
If I still planing a special effect- it is a little bit more work.
But I enjoy this routines.
Taking a picture- shaving-posting.

BTW: it is very comfortable for me, my office is in the house.

Pre: Hot shower
Razor: Klas Törnblom 185
Brush Ikon chubby 24 mm silvertip
AS: Dr Harris Sandalwood
Strop: Neil Miller
Result: Clean
Used the upside down soap jar routine today aswell and it´s an excellent way of face lathering, really. I wanted to use the most dense brush I´ve got and it loaded up nicely within 20 secs and it gave lather for 2 passes + touch ups and then some (I have very soft water).

The Filly's are definitely everything they are cracked up to be and in my opinion, worth the price they are going for. I have to get my hands on a #13, but just can't justify it right now as I like the way this #12 shaves so much.

Fbones,

I agree...I have both a Filarmonica #12 and #13. Both are excellent shavers, but the prices demanded for them in the market has escalated to the point that it is impossible to justify their price right now.
