Thread: SOTD - Sun September 26th - Sat October 3rd

Razor: Wusthof Tridente Standard 1933
Soap: DRH Arlington

Due to work and other life related activities I was forced to abandon the SOTD thread for a wile. NOT ANYMORE! I am back everyone.
During my time away I tried to stick to just one razor and pretty much the same prep until I was happy with my technique, and finally I can say that I am. Moving onto today's shave:

Soap: Proraso
Razor: Morley Clover Brand "Queen Cutter" (honing by Dylan, edge is smooth as butter)
Splash: Thayer Rose Witch Hazel
ASB: Trumpers Limes Skin Food
Result: Amazing shave. Ever since i got this razor in the mail I've been using nothing else. I can tell my Case is getting jealous....
Thanks again to Dylan for spotting and honing this beast for me, The Queen Cutter sure is a lady worthy of my time.

Hey guys,
Sorry for the delay, but here's a tutorial that several of you had requested from me ~1 month ago.

Themed SOTD image (the PDF tutorial will show you how to achieve this)



It will teach you how to warp/twist/bend photos and put them into a collage of sorts...Kind of like the image above, which I posted not too long ago in one of my SOTDs. More will be coming (later).


Here's the link to the Tutorial: PS Tutorial-Collage Of Warped Photos.pdf

Enjoy it. Let me know if it is clear, doesn't work or anything.

Also, I think I will start a thread soon where everyone can download their tutorials to share.

Max: As the moderator of this forum, do you have any suggestions on how to best do this? Where would such tutorial belong?

I use a IWB holster and primarily carry it during the cooler months (sweater weather). My daily is normally the Kahr pm9, sometimes the Ruger LCR, or LCP. I do love my Glocks in the cold weather

Faux and normal..Easy to hone and delivers a great shave. have a couple more in the box that need to get around to restoring.....Have a great day gentlemen..It looks like a Borsalino fedora day and a stanwell pipe on the way to work kinda day. Your posts inspire my retro genes to kick in..

I really like that razor and the brush...Very Nice!

Music: Frédéric Chopin, "Piano Concerto No. 2 in F minor, Op. 21, Maestoso, Larghetto, Allegro Vivace"

Razor: 7/8" Novelty 1879, Hollow, Spike point

Strop: SRD Premium IV (60/70)

Brush: 24mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger

Überlather: CarrieM Lilac Shave Creme + Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap + Glycerin

Post-shave/Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

Cologne: Truffit & Hill Spanish Leather

Result: I am happy to say that deadline #1 has come and grant #1 has been submitted. Now the waiting game begins with two more deadlines looming on the event horizon. Regardless, after a good night sleep, the day called for a lather which was not only rich and moist, but also Zen-inducing. CarrieM's Lilac creme mixed with MWF soap and some Glycerin provided just the right formula. As expected, I was greeted with an amazingly moist and rich überlather whereby the subtle scent of Lilac was in no way overpowering, but still seductively potent enough to put me in this "shaving trans" that I so desired and sought. Absolutely relaxing!! The Novelty's wonderfully close shave left my face feeling super smooth. I feel re-energized and reborn...My batteries are almost fully charged and ready to tackle the new deadline(s).

Have a great Thursday gentlemen

Great composition as always Robert! Congratulations on meeting your deadlines. Keep up the good work!
