Forget about the razors for a moment...check out those hones man. What you got there. I see Escher-ish like stuff, a few Cotis? Am I off? That is just fabulous

PS: I know what you mean about Karen's cremes...for me it's teh Black Raspberry Vanilla. I don;t know whether to lather it or put in in my coffee/tea in the morning? Great stuff...can't wait 'til she concocts a few custom scents that I can try out

Thank you Robert. On the hones, you re correct. The darker one is a labeled Escher. The lighter one does not have a label but does have some glue residue and gives a slightly keener edge than the darker one. Two Coit/BBw's, one used as a slurry stone. Ck12, Norton and Nanawi finish the hones pictured. For the razors, left side is a Joseph Smith, Joseph Elliot and W&B. Right side is a Shepperd's and Irving, TI frameback and a Northfield Cutlery.

I wasn't aware of the BRV soaps! Gonna have to get some and try it alone and in uberlather with the BRV shave creams!

Everyone is posting such great pictures in the weekly SOTD's! It's y favorite forum to visit! Thanks to all!

SOTD 9-28-10
Prep: Hot shower
Strop: SRD Premium IV English Bridle
Razor: George Wostenholm & Sons Original Piper Razor
Brush: TGN premium silvertip in Custom Cherry wood handle
Scuttle: SRD
Uberlather: TGQ Leatherneck soap, AOS Sandalwood cream, & 5 drops of glycerin
After Shave: Pinaud Clubman
Result: Today's lather was like a whip cream factory exploded. The scent of the leatherneck mixed with the sandalwood was fantastic! 3 passes (wtg, xtg, & atg) and BBS smooth (tried a new angle today and finally got the jawline BBS). It's going to be a great day!

Have a great Tuesday Gentlemen, you deserve it.

Wade & Butcher | Kanayama (35/70) | C&E Nomad | Vulfix Silvertip | Thayer's Lavender | Endymion



My first attempt with the C&E soaps. My initial impression, not bad. The Nomad has a wonderful scent, and that inspired me to go with the spicy Endymion today. The shave was great, and I'm ready to defend expert depositions today.

Have a wonderful Tuesday, and thank you again, to all the participants of the SOTD!

Aura Glow as a Pre Shave Oil and a touch of Mysticism
Unadulterated Williams Shave Soap
Semogue SOC UltimaBoar
R.Helliwell Crystal 9/16ths
SRD Premium I Strop .. 40 Linen/80 Leather
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Nivea AS Balm
Ice Blue Aqua Velva

A workmanlike shave today... Nothin' fancy, just stuff that plain get's it done!

The Aura Glow is my Peyote, allowing me access to the ancient Shave Gods who impart knowledge and guide my feeble hands, that delicately hold little Crystal, around my face...

Why the Williams without any help, you may ask??? I guess just because I can!

Incredible shave!

PREP: Warm shower with face conditioner scrub
RAZOR: C-MON HF
BRUSH: Custom Nib
SOAP: Uberlather with MWF and CarrieMs SW
ASTRINGENT: Thayers Superhazel
ASB: CarrieM
AS: Aqua Velva Musk
EDT: Thierry Muglar "cologne" *** for those who love Creeds Vetiver this stuff smells almost identical but less then half the price ***
RESULT: FANTASTICAL!!!

Great shave today, got to slow down and take my time and really enjoy the shave. The uberlather was great, lots of cushion and the smell of Karen's Sandalwood is still one of my favorites , and the C-mon was a perfect combo, topped off with Thierry Muglars "cologne" Im am feeling and smelling fresher then an Irish Spring commercial

ENJOY THE DAY GENTS!!
