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

5/8th's Johan Engström

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.

Let's honoring all of our soldiers who fight for peace and freedom!

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!

Sounds like a great day. That just put a big smile on my face

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

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".
