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

Nice blade . Are you satisfied with the edge or does it need to go back to the hones?

My sweet little girl is 2 today.

...but man am I tired. One thing is for sure, the whole family will sleep well tonight!

Glenn,
(1) Seriously nice blade...I am sure you will dial her in.
(2) I know what you mean by being tired...Get some rest and hope you slept well
(3) Last but certainly not least...Happy Birthday to your sweet 2 year old

Tom,
What a great idea ...

How about "Honoring the Troops" being our theme for next time?

Nice shot btw?

Robert,
why not?
A lot of our members served in armed forces in different countries. And all they know the hard job of our soldiers.
It is not an official theme, but I think it is an essential theme "honoring our troops".

It´s a monster size on this blade, but I find it to be kind of easy to shave with, easier than yesterdays frameback anyway.

Friodurs are amazing shavers, regardless of size (I think). Nice one Mikael

Andy,
Nice SOTD ....I guess it takes all sizes to get a great shave

Razor: Wusthoff Tridente 11/16s round point
Cream: DRH Almond
AS: Proraso Splash

Great shave. That wusthof is a nice heavy smooth sharp dude. Unfortunately I react to the almond fragrance in the DRH, so it's now a leg shaving cream.

PREP: Hot shower with face scrub
RAZOR: C-Mon HF
BRUSH: Simpson PJ3
SOAP: THe bomb in "sweet neroli"
ASTRINGENT: Thayers Unscented
ASB: Skinfood
EDT: Elizabeth Arden "Sandalwood"
RESULT: SMOOTH COMFORTABLE SHAVE

This was a great shave. Took my time prepping my beard, and really creating a nice slick lather. Touched up the Cmon the other day and its super smooth and sharp. 2 passes and I am clean.

GREAT PICS TODAY AND YESTERDAY GENTS!!!!!!
HAVE A GREAT ONE!!!!

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Razor: 6/8" Wade & Butcher "Original Bow", Wedge, Spike Point

Brush: 24mm Custom D01 Shavemac, 2-band Silvertip Badger

Überlather: SRD Bulgarian Rose Shave Soap

Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Amber

Results: Today is a FANTASTIC day for the SRD Bulgarian Rose soap and the W&B Bow. The lather from this soap was fabulous...no need for übering it with other creme/glycerin mix. It has all that wholesome goodness all by her lonesome. And the Bow? A fabulously sharp delight to use...I am sooooo BBS that I may not need shaving for few days .

******************************



Hmmmm...it's time to kinda make myself useful while my wife is out shopping...Time to figure out if we are going to have road closures for our Wednesday trip to Lake Arrowhead (lots of snow this year...8-10 ft in Mammoth Lakes, a record).

Have an great Monday guys.

Thank you Robert, unfortunately, I have to honor a lost wager and as a result I cannot shave for eight days.

I am on vacation this week so I guess, while enjoying a drink and a cigar or two, I will use the time to hone a few razors and maybe rescale a couple.

Excellent SOTD's gent's!
