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.

Beautiful setup! love those stones. Do you collect those as well? Or maybe by this point I should ask what is your list of colections? It seems that you have a wide variety of items in your pics that show the razor and another interesting item to accompany your topic item...It's a great way to display in pictures.

All items are still in using, Wintchase.
And all this items are worth to accompany in a picture.
You'd like a list of items I like?
No, my friend. Take a look at my posts and stay tuned...

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Razor: 6/8" J.R. Torrey, Spike Point

Brush: 22mm Vulfix Super Badger

Überlather: Al Raz' Custom Shave Creme + Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap + Glycerin

Astringent: Thayer's Witch hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave: Floïd Italian Blue

Result: It's back to reality for me...To be honest, as fun as shaving in Vegas was, there's something to be said about shaving in my own home...Last night, I decided to use the honing lessons learned from Max and use it to further the edge on the Torrey. This morning was the proof of my labor. It worked!! I spent a good 1 hour using Max' advice and it worked. The shave on this baby was fabulous. BBS all throughout my face...only a few days ago, I was only getting a "meh" shave and had to finish off with the DE. After Max got done with it, I got an awesome shave (yesterday)...and today, even better (only because of Max...not that I did anything special). Thank you maestro. As far as the lather, as much as I love CarrieM's cremes, I had missed using Al Raz' custom creme. This thing mixed with the MWF really gave a super lubricating lather. I love the mix of lanolin/tallow and glycerin...best of both worlds, if you ask me. I am now ready for what will surely be a super busy Thursday.

While visiting Max, I got something from him which will soon be featured in one of the next few SOTDs. Have a great and productive Thursday gentlemen .

Prep: Hot shower--followed by Robeson (mentholated) bay rum beard prep…
Brush: Simpsons T2 “Super Badger”
SS/SC: Proraso + Ingram = Superlather
Strop: VB Red Latigo--50 fabric; 60 leather
Razor: 5/8 Gotta 120 “Superfine”
Astringent: Thayer’s Original Witch Hazel
ASB: Zirh “Soothe”
AS: Proraso
Result: Bellessimo!

PREP: Ho shower with face scrub
RAZOR: Genco seneca chief
BRUSH: Custom NIB
UBERLATHER: Tabac soap /Tabac cream
ASTRINGENT: Thayers unscented
ASB: CarrieM's Unscented
AS: Aqua Velva Musk
EDT: Guerlain Vetiver
RESULT: Silky Smooth

The Razor: I always get great shaves with this genco and after i touched it up on the 12k followed by some diamond spray this thing is as smooth as eva.
The Soap: Glen turned me on to this and he has never been more right. It seems to me Tabac is a either love it or hate thing, and I love it, and combining the soap with the cream and 3 drops of glycerine this is some of the slickest creamiest shave cream i have ever used. I dont think i even needed ASB but CarrieMs unscented never lets me down. Followed up with some Vetiver and Im ready for a well deserved day off from work.

LOVE THE PICS GUYS!!!
