That is excellent...I can already see the writing on the wall; "Blugill & Sis Soap Manufacturing Inc". It would be an honor trying it out. Thank you
Oooohhhhhh. You're going to love that Helje. Congrats again
Mikael,
Excellent shot and shave as usual maestro. Beautiful razor. She's some curvaceous beauty. Very nice brush too, but never heard of a "Chris Custom"!
Bill,
That is a beautiful razor and very generous of Mikael. Enjoy it.
I know Monroe. It gets pretty confusing for me too. There should be a universal nomenclature that all makers adhere to.
I think I have way more brushes than I need, but I'd be curious. Will shoot a PM soon.
Lovely blade Mark. Very nice shot.
José,
A fantastic start to Monday. Great shot. Very nice razor.
Sachin,
Agreed...For me, I prefer the "Signature" scent, but both their performances are top notch. And thanks for the compliment.
As for the Chubby vs. Thater comparison...I love them both (I have another Simpson - 2-band, 26mm - on order as we speak), but it's not a fair comparison since the Thater is 24mm and the Chubby 2, 26mm. The Chubby 2 has very soft hair as does the Thater, but for some reason, I favor the Thater (even though I have not used it too much as of late). PS: The Thater and Shavemac are very similar (their regular Silvertip). so same comparison applies. Of course, the D01s are a whole different breed of animal.
Hi Chris,
Very nice seeing you again on SOTD.
To all of our US shavers:
HAPPY Martin Luther King day everyone.

Gentlemen, I checked out for a while...I have been loking at everyone's posts, but I have been to busy to contribute to this great site. I appreciate everyone's pictures everyday though. They give me something to look at besides work. I can't complain, at least I am working..And these days, that is a good thing!
Razor: Wacker (picked it up over Christmas)
AS: Ogallala Sandelwood
Shave Creme: Proraso
Brush: Antler and Golden Nib's Finest
The shave with this Wacker is fantastic! I know why they are so expensive now...It sits in my rotation and stands out by it self. Beautiful and a great shave..By far y best ebay purchase so far.

And an excellent shot! Fantastic color combo and composition!
Thank you, Maestro of the SOTD Chris is an English brush maker, he turns the handles himself and he doesn´t have a own name for the brushes, but his name is Chris and it´s my Chris Craft, not to far from my Polo 8 in super two band. Very nice brush anyhow.Last edited by Mikael; 01-17-2011 at 07:03 PM.

01-19-2011, 06:58 PM #10Well this is the setup for this evenings shave. I need to post more in here and just always forget to snap a picture.
This may be the best steal of a deal I've ever got on eBay. Talk about timing in looking at new auctions. This Duck was listed with 4 other Solingen razors (all in very good condition) for a BIN of $100. Let's just say I hit that button faster than ever. The seller couldn't believe I wanted old barber's razors and proceeded to offer me a lot of old barber's clippers :laugh:
The only problem with the duck is some slight gold wash wear where the razor pivots in the scales (scales are pretty tight). I really can't wait! :thumbup:
6/8 DD Goldedge // Martin De Candre // Shavemac D01 // Alt-Innsbruck
Nice pictures everyone!
