I don't remember what I've got for my brush and soap. I made the stand from some spare electrical wire and a bottle cap. Cheap, but functional. Some day I'll construct something more elegant.

Happy New Year!

Nice work MacGyver.

The concerts with our Silbermann-Organ are always beautiful.

I think I posted already this picture.

Those things do sound amazing

We had tornados and severe storms blow through this morning, so it has been an interesting start to the day. On with the shave:

Hones: 1k,4k,8k Nortons, 12k Naniwa, Asagi
Soap: Mama Bears Romance scent
Razor: Clauss USMC Custom

Glenn,
Glad you are on your way to feeling 100%. You cannot ring in the new year with that bug hanging in your system. Man...I heard about those tornadoes on the news today. if memory serves, some folks in AK weren't so lucky

I see you are working the Asagi into your regimen...how is she behaving?

That Mama Bear's Romance you have, is that the same as "Amber Romance"? if so, it does smell great.

#168 Mikael, this is a great looking razor. Upon a second glance at the photo, it has a similar double entendre as your snowman photo from last week too funny!

Happy New Year! Thank you! I really tried, but couldn´t see it and I pride myself to have a dirty mind, lol.

Good morning Gentleman!

Razor: Royal Invicta 6/8 (E.M. Dickinson, Sheffield)
A/S Balm: Nivea Replenishing Post Shave
A/S: Old Spice
This was my first ever shave ready razor, my first restoration and my first set of scales. I like to think I've come a long way since then but I am very sentimental about this one.
Result: I finally tried the Tabac cream and really enjoyed its old school kind of smell. I'm also liking the new bottle of Old Spice, Its a real wake up call for the face. An enjoyable shave, but I'm going to have to take the Invicta for a touchup to get it were it needs to be. Its just starting to pull a little.

Happy New Year Boys. Thanks for all the great posts and pics

As most of you know 2010 has been a tough year for my family and I. On the first day of the New Year, I just wanted to say thank you for your support. Thank you to all the guys and their families who have generously given gifts to Jack, myself, and donated to charities such as the Leukaemia Foundation and Ronald McDonald House.
I started posting SOTD’s while I was living in Ronald McDonald House because I was away from home and my tools. I was frustrated by not being able to do my restoration work and SOTD gave me something razor related to occupy myself, as well as to temporarily distract me from what was going on with Jack.
However it was that sense of brotherhood that kept me coming back. So THANK YOU to everyone involved in Shave Of The Day, for making it feel like such a family here and making 2010 a little easier for me.

You are true gentlemen.
Grant

Pre: Hot shower
Brush: Henk silvertip
Razor: C V Heljestrand + Eterna
Cream: Arko
AS Cologne: Gibbs
Strop: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
Wow, result! This blade is sharp, prob 5 on a 1-5 scale. After stroping, a hair splits where ever you tap it on the edge . I barley feel a difference when going ATG . I think I´ve found the most aggresive DE razor on the planet, an old Swedish brand by the name Eterna. Second time I shaved my head with it and it´s almost like holding the blade (Shark) without a razor .

Grant: All the best to you and your family and especially to little Jack!! May 2011 be a blessed year for Jack and your family!!!
