Thread: Sun October 17th - Sat October 23rd

Pre: Hot shower
Razor: SSA
Brush: New Forest silvertip
Soap: Tabac
AS: Alt Innsbruck
Strop: Neil Miller
Result: Very clean
Second go with the NF brush and either I´m off re lathering (again) or it´s still breaking in. I got an ok lather, but it was nothing special. I blame myself for now, becuase I _know_ the NF brushes are da tits.

Semogue 1438 : Taylor witness "The Gem" 9/16 : De Vergulde Hand stick : Floïd vigoroso

Muhle w/ Feather | Semogue 830 | C&E Nomad + Trumpers Sandalwood + Glycerin | Thayer's Lavender | CarrieM AS Milk | Habit Rouge

My first attempt to lather with a boar brush; I'm impressed. From the moment it touched the Nomad, I knew it was different. This brush had huge amounts of protolather jumping out of the bowl within two swirls. The uberlather was equally impressive this morning and it took much less time to build. The shave was nice and smooth, but I'm missing my straights. I may just have to give it a go tomorrow!

Great SOTD's shown this week already. You guys inspire me each morning to strive for a better display of how wonderful my morning starts. Thanks!

Prep: Hot Shower
Strop: SRD Paddle 25 coarse leather, 50 premium 1 leather
Soap: SRD Opus X (If you haven't tried this, you are missing out)
Brush: AOS Purs Badger
Razor: Dovo Best Quality
After Shave: Alum Block, Nivia for men ASB, Ogallala Bayrum Limes & Peppercorns
Result: A nice shave this morning. The scent of the opus X is tremendous. It lathers very nicely and the scent reminds me of warm nights spent in a carribean resort. The Dovo always performs nicely.

The SOTD's are looking great this week gentlemen, keep them coming! Thanks for making each day's SOTD something to look forward to.

Have a great day, you deserve it!

Well deserved, relaxing shave after a stressful typhoon, reported to have been the world's strongest so far with 260kph winds.

Well after getting my coticule yesterday, I decided to five this one a try with the unicot method as advertised by Bart. Very nice comfortable shave! No irritation whatsoever!

Dups,
where are your pictures?

I totally agree with you about Opus X.
When I first tried it I kept going back and forth on loving it and hating it,
but in the end the scent grew on me and I love it.

It goes great in a uberlather with sandalwood.
