Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W

Razor: Wellington

Brush: Simpson Persian jar 3

Cream: Mühle - Aloe Vera

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel

ASM: KD Creations - Unscented

EDT: Habit Rouge - Guerlain

The Wellington is a nifty, sharp little shaver. I don't have much info about it but it looks so close to the Red Imp 133 and shaves identical to my vintage c-mon. Aloe Vera shaving cream and KD creations AS milk with added Aloe Vera juice (amongst other super nourishing ingredients) made my skin feeling extremely nourished and healthy looking. The piece the resistance is my old time favorite vintage Habit Rouge de Guerlain. I'm happy.

Wishing all my brothers an excellent new week in our SOTD addiction.

This is my first SOTD :P
Sorry about the quality of the pic. Here goes nothing:

Razor: Simmons ,,Keen Kutter (made in Germany)Brush 1: I began with the Omega to build lather and lather for 5 minutes to exfoliate my skin.

I continue and finish lathering my face with brush 2: HJM Badger (made in Germany)
Cream: Proraso (green)EDT: Aqua Velva Musk

Result: Loved every minute of my 60 alone minutes (my me time)

Location: 40°46'48.93"N 73°57'47.93"W
Music: Ali Akbar Khan
Razor: Filarmonica 13 Doble Temple
Brush: Semogue 2009 LE #28
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat on a Stick
Astringent: Ogallala Bay Rum
AS: Aveda Shave Gel
Result: BBS!! I have finally done it. I have achieved an edge as effortless and comfortable as what I remember Max put on this very razor over a year ago. It only took a full run through the nagura hone method and 100 laps on leather. Words cannot express the joy of a 'student' finally achieving results similar to a 'master'.
Thank you so very much Max for setting the bar so high, not to mention bringing this razor back to life in one of a kind scales. Thanks also to all the fine gentlemen here with their fine photography and kind words of encouragement. That's why I love the SOTD!

Good morning Gentleman.

Great pic, and thanks for the smoking men. Although I do miss Master Yoda's words of wisdom.

It occurred to me that I've been in Sydney for over 8 months and I've never posted a picture of the place. HOPEFULLY we will get home later this week, so before I go, here's one I took a couple of days ago from here at Ronald McDonald House.

Have a great week Boys, thanks for the posts and pics.
