So enjoy the rest of a nice weekend, it's really nice sunny day in Prague. See you later.

First and foremost, Welcome to SRP & the SOTD! Nice gear you have there. Keep the momentum going, you're well on your way to your 2nd SOTD. Cheers!

...but the Shave afterwards was fantastic!

Nice Shave gear Chris. I know what you mean, this time of year I feel chilled all the way to the bone for hours after a ride. Cheers!

An excellent (& much anticipated) SOTD Robert! I was following the thread and looking forward to seeing how she shaved after a night of "Dancing with the Stones". Congratulations

Thanks Matt Your shot with the vice the other day still has me in awe. The colors, depth, & "cool temperature" feel that it has is intoxicating, nicely done!

It is 100% me to blame, Sham has honed many of my blades and I LOVE his work . Just a different "feel" to get used to.

Is that a pict of grandpa and grandma?

Yep, that's Grandma & Grandpa. Grandpa passed away about 16 years ago...I miss him everyday. Grandma lives only 10 minutes away and I see her often.

I don't think I could even think about selling it, some things truly are priceless

Ain't it the truth...

Hello all, Sorry that I have not been around much, had a very difficult summer this year. The repairs on the house are almost finished so I will have time (read, Energy) to contribute once again. It is great to have a bit of time!

Today's shave was Excellent! Second time using the Henckels after honing, 3rd razor honed on the Coticule. The edge is fantastic, very smooth.

Hot Shower
C.O. Bigelow Cream
26mm TGN Silvertip in My Cocobolo handle
Aqua Velva Ice Blue
Complete BBS

Went for a bike ride with my 5 year old. We had a wonderful time.

Have a wonderful week.

Prep - Shower and face scrub
Lather - Shea soap and cream
Razors - Hen and Roster - Winchester
After shave - Gillette
Lighting - Natural

Since getting this Crew shaving cream I have made super lather every day. It just seems to make everything that much better. The Hen and Roster is a cheap razor. I actually bought it for the scales but I decided id give it a try. They need to stick with pocket knives. I finished up with my favorite razor the Winchester.

I was playing around with sunlight in the kitchen. I took three or 4 pictures and this was the best one.

I would carry it everywhere and pretend to be taking the most important pictures for the paper. It represents my fond memories of my Grandpa and the start of a life long love of taking pictures.

Thanks for sharing that heartwarming story, and great shot too.
Congrats on the wedge, I have a couple and I love them.
