Thread: Sun December 26th - Sat January 1st

In preparation for the blizzard;

Hot Shower with Stephan's rubbed into my three day growth.
Warm Oil
Hannah Ceramic Bowl
New Forest Badger
Nancy Boy Cucumber Shave Cream
John Engstrom frame back
Ambrose Strop
AOS Aluminum
AOS Styptic Powder
Thayers Rose Petal
Vaseline for men.

After three days or no shaving I really enjoyed myself today. I've used the frame backs twice and so far I nicked myself twice. I wonder, they are very sharp and freshly honed by Dylan. Maybe the shape of the blade or the lack of flex. Either way I'll keep at it with those blades since they shave very nicely.

Enjoy the day.

Razor: Filarmonica Doble Temple 13 (pistaccio scales)
Soap: MWF
AS: Proraso Splash
Balm: Speick

Great shave.

Sorry guys, I've been slacking on my SOTD posts since my right hand has been useless for the last month. My DE's have been kept busy in down time though I think my straights are feeling lonely.......

Razor: Merkur HD Barber Pole
Brush: 26mm Silvertip in Birdseye
Soap: TGQ Whiskey (Love it!)
A.S. Alum and cold water
A.S.Balm Crabtree & Evelyn Sandlewood

Phil,
I hope you're healing is coming along fine. We missed you on SOTD. It's amazing how much we take our appendages for granted...until they go out of commission

If the new year is anything like this one, SOTD will be the pinnacle(once again) of shave forums, thanks to you fine gentlemen! Thanks and Happy New Year

Participation is never mandatory, but you certainly more than made up for the absence. Way to go on the razors (and the Case from MIL) and congrats. Great shaves and hardware.

I agree with you on the SOTD

Jeff,
I hope you will be indoors through this blizzard. I hope that it just becomesa mere whimper and blows through.

Nice way to treat yourself to a wonderful shave with some nice hardware (despite the nick )

One heck of a soap to go with one heck of a blade. Nice match . I loved my Filarmonica with Pistaccio scales too



Note to Max: sorry ...I wasn't able to merge more than ~5 quotes at a time

[QUOTE=BladeRunner001;709351][Table]Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Razor: 6/8" C.V. Heljestrand "Royal Kindal", Hollow, Round Point
Brush: 22mm New Forest Silvertip Badger
Überlather: Floris "JF" Shave Creme + Floris "JF" Shave Soap + Glycerin
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer
After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Amber
Results: "Well...just because the themed SOTD has ended , doesn't mean that I can't continue using the theme . So....Today Her performance was nothing short of impressive, leaving me with zero irritation "
******************************
Whoa, I had a date that was similar once! Seriously, Bladerunner,Thats nice and I think we should use the decorations as long as they are up!
Maybe stop after the 1st? Great job as usual! THANKS

Brush: Cheap Col Conk
Razor: Kleeblatt BS "Surety" 5/8
Soap: Klar Kabinett
AS: Clubman Bay Rum
ASB: Proraso

This was the first shave with this one since honing with the chinese 12K. The result was a DFS.

[B]Prep:[/]Hot Shower
Brush:TGN Custom Silvertip Premium
Strop: SRD Premium IV English Bridle 50 laps
Scuttle: SRD
Cream: Frankincense, Myrrh, & Vetiver Bomb
Razor: Clauss USMC Custom
After shave: Al's Custom ASB
EDT: Cartier Roadster


Result: The edge of the Clauss is almost there (it was good, just not as good as I know it can be). It will likely appear again this week after I play around on the stones some more. 3 passes and BBS. If you've never tried Cartier Roadster, check it out next time you're at a fragrance counter (vanilla, vetiver, patchouli to name some of the base scents). It's my new favorite
Today was a continuation of playing, assembling toys, and trying to keep up. My sweet little girl is 2 today. I got my shave in about 2pm and then it was off to Chuck E Cheese (a pizza place with rides, games, etc for the kids) to celebrate. She rode rides, played games, ran all over the place, got a billion gifts from her grandparents, aunts, & uncles. I had a blast...but man am I tired. One thing is for sure, the whole family will sleep well tonight!

Another great start of the week gentlemen!

Great gear Jeff. I've never shaved with a frameback. I have a W&B that I'm looking into having some work done on. I guess it's only fair for you to fuel my RAD Be safe with the incoming weather my friend! Cheers!

Are you saying that size does matter : Sorry, I just couldn't resist A great blade at any size
