Thanks Sharp. I'll be sharing in the future.

Good morning Gentleman

Today there are some JNats...only as a decoration... in the picture.

soap: Thiers Issard
brush: Muehle
razor: Buddel
AS: Old Spice

Have a nice day!

BTW: Do you know some good shops for wet-shaving articles in FL (Miami, Orlando, Ft. Myers)? I found only Art of shaving in Miami.

That is my new Filarmonia Novodur 14. My girlfriend found it in a flea market in Barcelona for 40 euro. It's never been honed since the factory, has very minor staining, and nice tight original scales. No box but practically NOS. Considering I honed it yesterday, as well as how I got it, this is the finest shaving razor I own. Period. Any one have a Novodur 14 box to spare?
I used Art of Shaving's Sandlewood soap and my Rudy Vey horn brush, followed by some witch hazel and Nancy Boy cooling gel. My lady is back home after nearly 8 months, boy am I glad she got home safe. Have a great week fellas.

Nice catch.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Martinez' custom: Chess King w/ 26mm silver tip badger
Soap: TSD - Bay Rum
Strop: Tony Miller Heirloom tri-strop (3x25)
Razor: Mastro Livi 8/8 Bergam Damascus in Mammoth Ivory Scales
ASB: Caswell-Massey Newport
soundtrack: Anne - Sophie Mutter: Carmen - Fantasie

C&E Nomad | Dovo 5/8 | Rooney Heritage | Musgo | SRD Strop

Thanks for the warm welcome in the other SOTD thread, enjoy all these photos myself have more to come!

Today brought out the trusty Dovo and got a good shave using the Nomad soap which I haven't used in a while. Nice clean smell and creamy lather, good for an uber-lather with another cream

Livi | Bomb Potomac | EverReady w/ TGN Grade A Silvertip | Thayer's Lavender
Bomb ASB | Le Labo Rose 31

What a way to start the day! The Potomac Bomb provide a slick, cushioned envelope of fabulous scent to lubricate the face and the Livi swept the whiskers away without a care. The Rose 31 is the perfect compliment to the citrusy floral of the SC and lifted my spirits. I am prepared to take depositions today!

rep: Hot shower
Strop: SRD Premium IV Bridle 25 webbing/50 leather
Brush: TGN custom silvertip in a cherry wood handle
Scuttle: SRD
Uberlather: TGQ "Black Cavendish", AOS Sandalwood cream, 5 drops glycerin
Razor: W&B "For Barbers Use"
After Shave: Masters Bayrum
Result: After watching some videos last night, I decided to try 2 passes and really focus on stretching and no pressure (I think I normally do ok on using little to no pressure, but wanted to see for sure). The resulting shave is smooth. Not quite as smooth as when I ad an ATG pass, but almost there. The bay rum had 0 burn when applied...that's gotta be a good thing.

Have a fantastic day gentlemen, you deserve it!
