Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W Razor: Max Sprecher Brush: Simpson Polo 10 Cream: Edwin Jagger : Sea Buckthorn Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel AS Lotion: Mühle : Sea Buckthorn EDT: Herrera for men : Carolina Herrera The first SOTD week of the year has really taken off with a bang. I'm amazed at the postings I have seen this past week. Yowza. 2011 is going to be year to remember. I took my razor out for another shave and let me tell you, there's nothing as rewarding than being able to shave with one's own creation. Combined with the freshness of Sea Buckthorn, it was like being on vacation. The wife definitely approved the final results. Wishing everyone a splendid week.

Razor: The Hybrid

I honed this one on the DMT1200, BBW, Coticule, Thuri, and Chrome Oxide Balsa strop. It was honestly the fastest, easiest hone job I've done so far.
Result: AWESOME. Man this thing shaved nice. Sharp and smooth. 3 passes and BBS. Happy days.
