Thread: SOTD - Sun October 3rd - Sat October 9th

Pre: Hot shower
Brush: Scheerzeep/Henk 21 mm silvertip
Razor: Klas Törnblom 11/16
Cream: Fitjar Camomilla
ASB: Geo Trumper Skinfood
AS: English Leather
Strop: Neil Miller
Result: Mr Clean
I got me a new razor , in Ebony wooden scales with acrylic MOP inlays (boy oboy, how sweet are these scales...). I was going for a long nice sunday shave, but somehow I managed to screw pre and post up, or at least go a little off. I used a little to much water w the cream, used a little to much ASB and I had to do one to many touch ups (three). Very, very clean now though.

Another work day for me too...I am supporting the Army this weekend also...Makes for endless weeks when you work back to back...But, my "glass is half full" at least I am working when a lot of folks are not...It's a rough economy out there. So as Sunday treat I am breaking out the Twins:

Razor: Henkels 415
Creme:Proraso menthol
A/S: Ogallala

Prep: Hot Shower
Brush: Rooney Style 2 Silvertip
Razor: Boker Edelweiss
Lather: Col. Conk Almond + T&H Trafalgar + Glycerine = Good Stuff
AS: Pinaud Clubman
ASB: Neutrogena
Result: Today's shave was very smooth and relaxing. I actually got up early enough to take my time and the results show it. Now it's off to church for "dinner on the ground."

Have a great Sunday, Gentlemen!

SOTDAY MORNING FUNNIES

OOOPPPPPPSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Razor: Feather AC RG with Feather Professional Blade
Brush: Kent B&B LE '09
Soap: QED Sandalwood/Rose
AS: D.R. Harris Pink followed by Speick balm
Cologne: Diptyque Tam Dao

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Pre-Shave Oil: Almond Oil

Razor: 6/8" J.R. Torrey Frameback

Brush: 23mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger

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

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Facial Moisturizer

Cologne: Alt Innsbruck EDC

Result: We are headed to Vegas today for a few days of R&R, meeting up with Max and sampling some great food, shows etc...So, in preparation for the trip, today's shave is with the the Torrey Frameback (the second razor I recently acquired...in fact, this is my first frameback). This thing had a good size chip at the heel...As a result, it got to know my Naniwa 1K pretty intimately. After working the chip out, the blade went through my routine honing regimen (e.g., Coti, Escher and JNat)...despite laying flat on the hone, I couldn't get the entire edge to pass the HHT...the heel and toe area were a bit duller. The shave was also a testament to this fact. I got a pretty good shave, but nothing I would call fabulous or BBS. I finished things off with my Merkur 39C. This blade is going with me to Vegas today (maybe I can entice Max to take a look at it and diagnose the problem). I must say that it is a rather nice looking blade. Despite this minor setback, I am happy with the result of today's shave.

Have an awesome Sunday gentlemen . Hopefully, I will have time to take SOTD shots and post while in Vegas.

Robert,
have a great time in Vegas together with Max and have fun!
