Thanks Matt! The polo green is my all time favorite. The polo blue is a nice summer time fragrance IMHO. I buy them @ walmart to keep the cost down. Cheers!

Thanks Robert, I ran out of space in the cabinet I have and needed more room Cheers!

Had a great day today. Met with some of the SRP folks today. It was great to put some names to faces and sit and talk about shaving. Watched Dylan set a bevel and complete a hone. Also watched him at his buffer for a few minutes. Had to leave for lunch with my daughter and then returned her to school. Great day for me although it is always tough to see her leave.

Anyway onto the SOTD:

Hot shower with facial prep
Warm Oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
Trumper Violet Shave cream
Wade and Butcher, Dylan honed
SRD Premium 1, 40 laps on felt, 80 on leather
AOS Aluminum
Thayers Rose Petal
Vaseline for men

Had a great shower and shave. Passed the BBT without a problem.

Filarmonica EPBD 14
Semogue 2009 LE Boar
AOS Sandalwood
Ogallala Bay Rum
Aveda+444 gel

Went to the NYC shave meet up, met some guys who are just as sick about steel, stone, hair, skin, horn, ivory and bone, as I am. Was reassuring to know I'm not alone
And I am officially in need of a Japanese Natural finishing hone. Oh my god.

You can´t win them all . This morning was not the best shave ever. I was in a hurry and everyone wanted to talk to me when I was lathered up and our youngest (11 yrs old) threw up. I cut myself on the throat, yes - cut throat , while trying to get ready fast (by only doing one effective pass). I like this razor though, nice touch to it and the blade is very good.

Thank you, you´re right. It wasn´t that bad though. Some blood flow and approx. 1 cm cut, but it was a fine cut and after using alum and the AS the flow stopped
