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 .

Well, thanks!! That is just what I needed. I am waiting for this one to come back but it is my Birthday pretty soon and the one that Max has on his website is really burning me. But I also want a Philly......Ohh what to do!!

SOTD Tuesday November 2, 2010

Razor: GEM G-Bar SE
Blade: GEM Personna Stainless Steel SE
Pre Shave Prep: Hot Towel
Uberlather: Classic Shaving Sandalwood SS/La Toja Classic Shaving Cream
Lather Bowl: Ceramic
Soap Scuttle: Lord Nelson Ceramic
Scuttle: RAB Ceramic
Brush: Omega Boar
ASB: Nivea Replenishing
Aftershave/Cologne: Pinaud Virgin Island Bay Rum
Rersults: BBS and comfortable. Outstanding Scent from the Uberlather as well; Bay Rum and Sandalwood!

Missed yesterdays shave due to the increased work load on the Ranch at this time of year; first time I've missed a shave in over a year. The GEM G-Bar made short work of the nasty stubble and as alwyas provided an excellent shave. These G-Bars are really excellent razors and are under-appreciated IMHO.

Location: Taipei, Taiwan
Time: 1123
Soap: Castle & Forbes Lime
Brush: Restored Fuller 22mm TGN Silver Knot
Razor: The Djorr 99 Bohler Extra
Afterwards: Sandalwood Skinfood

Notes: I don't have a Filly 13 but I have a Djorr 99. Very smooth shave from a nicely sized razor (I am really enjoying small-medium sized razors at the moment) - just seems to be a more second nature shave to me (though I will always love bigger blades they require that much more attention). Extremely pleased with this razor, I've been waiting a while for it, thanks to Dylan for the sale and the edge he put on it. The scales are interesting, looks like someone has melted another set to the top but no worries everything is snug and tight and I love the character. My apologies for few posts, I've been slacking on the shaving as well as the posting. You really get to tell whether a razor is shave ready when it has to go through days worth of stubble, some of my razors just crumble against that much growth. The Djorr however went smoothly through whiskers with no problems whatsoever. I had to post two photos cuz I felt the first one didn;t focus on the razor, the second below is a crop of the first. I know I've been absent but I have enjoyed the photos as I always do so Thanks for all the posts in this thread.

Brad,
It is so good having you back buddy . We missed your posts

Excellent Djorr blade

thanks Robert, I'll try and be more consistent with my posts. I greatly admire all your photos.

Pre: Hot shower
Brush: Ikon 24 mm chubby
Razor: Johan Engström
Cream: Vulfix English Rose
AS: Ogallala Lime and Peppercorns
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very ... very clean
Wow, I´ve allways liked this blade and this morning it delivered an amazing shave. Tons of lovely lather and the Ogallala´s so nice. Good one today!
Nice to see you back Brad!

DD Special 1 | Kanayama | Shavemac Silvertip | Bomb Saigon + Ogallala Bay Rum + Glycerin | Thayers Lavender | CarrieM AS Milk
Creed Custom Blend - Royal English Leather/Royal Scottish Lavender

After seeing all those beautiful Ducks yesterday, I realized mine hadn't been out in a while. I may not have any Max'd out blades (yet - two in the queue), Mainaman did a wonderful job with this restoration, and it's always a pleasure to bring out of hiding. The edge is smooth, and the Bomb always makes such a slick cushioned lather, so the shave is nothing short of spectacular.

The custom blend of Creed, which my friendly SA mixed up for me, makes for a rather interesting fragrance. The lavender calms the leather, while the leather adds a layer of complexity to the lavender. I'm liking it, but we'll see how she wears! In the end, I find myself ready for another day with a spring in my step because of the great way it started!
