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

I usually post SOTD's featuring new razor acquisitions on Sunday, but I was away at a professional conference until yesterday. So here goes with yet another addition to my straight razor rotation.

Prep: Hot shower--followed by Robeson (mentholated) bay rum beard prep
Brush: Simpsons Chubby 2 “Super Badger”
SC: Penhaligon’s “Blenheim Bouquet”
Strop: No strop today…Razor shave ready
Razor: 5/8 Dovo “Fritz Bracht”
Astringent: Thayer’s Original Witch Hazel
ASB: Nivea for Men “Sensitive”
EDT: Penhaligon’s “Blenheim Bouquet”
Result: Wunderbar!

This "Fritz Bracht" Dovo, acquired on ebay from a barber's estate, is a sweet shaver--after I got it restored and honed. Combined with the Penhaligon's shaving cream it delivered one of the best shaves I've experienced in quite a while.
