A very close shave with the C-Mon, a fantastic full hollow shaver

Evening Shave- Tested the Boker
I received a little package this afternoon. I took the Boker to my Den of iniquity and honed it on my brand spanking new Coticule. Raised a slurry and sharpened; then polished it with water doing x strokes. The Boker took a wicked edge, I need to polish it some more...not bad for a first try with a natural stone.
Lea Shaving Cream
Semogue hogs hair brush

You got your Coticule already..... You dog!!!

I'm soooooo jealous!!

Enjoy it, my friend!! And I'll be looking to read more about your adventures with it!

A Special Dedicated Shave
This SOTD is dedicated to Jeff (aka MvCrash) in an effort to flare his AD and entice him to add another Dubl Duck to his collection. This Duck's looking at you Jeff .

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Razor: 6/8" Dubl Duck, Full Hollow, Spike Point

Brush: 24mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger

Strop: Neil Miller Linen (55 laps) + SRD Premium IV Leather (70 laps)

Cream/Lather: Castle Forbes Lavender Shave Creme + Glycerin

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

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-Free Moisturizer

AS Splash: Floid Italian Blue

Result: Yeap...you guessed it. And in case you were sleeping and missed the title of this SOTD, it is Dubl Duck day. Got a great BBS shave in 3 passes. No fuss, no mess...No kidding!! This razor takes (and holds) an amazingly wicked edge. I received a sample of CF cremes from Rich (aka Zib...thank you Rich ) and decided to use the Lavender today...Wowww! This creme is every bit as creamy and thick as everyone had made it out to be. I love the accented lavender scent of this creme. Simply fabulous!! Topped off the shave with some Floid Blue and Trumper's moisturizer, and I am ready for another busy day.

I am still stuck in Halloween mode (maybe for a few more days)

Jeff: If this Duck doesn't get your juices flowing, then .

Have a fantastic Tuesday gentlemen .

Result: I love the scent of "Bodega", it has a spicy goodness that just seems to speak to me. The lather caressed my skin as the blade delivered a sweet, deliberate melody. The finale was Ogallala Limes & Peppercorns and it still lingers in the air as a memory of the great performance.

Have a great day gentlemen, you deserve it!

On the bridge of a Les Paul model no less....

Awesome photo!

George Wostenholm & Sons Frameback
C&E BBB
Godrej Fresh Lime sc
Thayers Original WH w/ aloe
Woods of Windsor a/s
GFT Extract of Limes Skin Food
Woods of Windsor Edt

I was having a very enjoyable shave until I nicked myself while stretching my skin at the right jawline...I guess I lost focus. The Wosty has been one of my favorite blades and it has never bit me before...so it goes...otherwise it gave me a heckuva shave and the Woods of Windsor set everything right. Now on to vote...

PREP: Hot shower with hot towel
RAZOR: W&B
BRUSH: PJ3
SOAP: Dr. Harris "Marlborough"
ASTRINGENT: Thayers Rose
ASB: Carrie M unscented
AS: Booster Mosswood
EDC: DR. Harris "Marlborough"
RESULTS: NICE CLOSE SHAVE

This shave was an interesting one, This razor started tugging on me from the first stroke , and my prep was pristine. I have always kinda had problems with this razor, so i think i need to send it out to one of the Trinity Honemeisters to get it into fighting shape, so instead of forcing myself to shave with it, i switched to my DE and had a great shave. I love Dr. Harris Marlborough the smell is so intoxicating to me, and I cant wait to buy the matching soap so I can uberlather with it, folllow it up with the EDC and I am in heaven.

GREAT SHAVES THIS WEEK GENTS!!!

Tuesday, 11.2.10

Aura Glow Oil
Williams Shave Soap
Semogue 830 Boar
Bowdin's Wedge 9/16ths
SRD Premium I Strop ... 40 Linen/80 Leather

An American shave... The little Bowdin's Wedge was forged in Germany but came via Bowdin's in Minnesota...

For those as old as I, see if this rings a bell...

Yo-ho! Yo-Ho!

Brushless or lather boys,
Whichever you've a notion
Fifty cents for the shaving cream,
A dollar for the lotion.
"Old Spice means quality,"
Said the Captain to the Bosun.
Asks for the package with
The ship that sails the ocean.

Yo-ho!, Yo-Ho!. --1950s Ad Jingle

Enough of this, I better get my mind back on shaving!
