Thread: Sun January 30th - Sat February 05th

Location: Not at home a place in Norway this morning.

Was at a visit this weekend, and had just brought a DE razor and one brush, but I survived

Merkur 39C Slant Sledgehammer
Feather Blade
Shavemac D01 26 mm two band
TOBS Avocado cream
Alun
Gentlemens Tonic Aftershave cream

Result was BBS, but I find it much more pleasing to shave with a Straight!

And it is not me in the picture

Have a great Sunday everybody.

Great Picture

The new thread started with amazing pictures, friends. Thanks for sharing.

@Grant:
There's only a little bit snow left in our region, but it is very cold.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Martinez' custom: Chess King w/ 26mm silver tip badger
Soap: Mama Bear's Ye Olde Barbershoppe
Strop: Tony Miller Heirloom tri-strop (3x25)
Razor: Moreton & Langley's razor 13/16
ASB: Caswell-Massey Number Six
soundtrack: Anne-Sophie Mutter: Beethoven


I like this Sunday routine. The feel of a sharp, old Sheffield blade, the smell of Mama Bear’s
Ye Olde Barbershoppe soap and the sound of Anne-Sophie Mutter’s rendition of Beethoven
coming from my surround sound system.
Out side it is winter and snow, but my wood stove is putting up an effective barrier of heat
against it. The smell and sound of birch wood burning adds to the relaxing atmosphere.
A nice BBS shave. Have a good week.

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 26mm Saville Row 3326, Silvertip Badger

Razor: 6/8" Solgen "Real Japanese Hollow Ground" #75, Hollow, Truncated French Point/Angled Spike Point

Strop: 55/65 (Neil Miller linen/Premium IV leather)

Überlather: CarrieM "Spicy Orange" Shave Creme + Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap + Glycerin

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

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue

Results: CarrieM's "Spicy Orange" was a wonderful scent and combined with the MWF, produced an exceptionally moist, and thick lather. The Saville Row's wonderfully soft tips was a treat to use and work the lather in. This is, by far, the best part of shaving - i.e., prepping. I love taking my time. The Solgen was definitely in charge today. She had no problems wiping the 5 O'clock shadow from yesterday, leaving behind a wonderfully smooth and BBS skin. Now, I am ready for a relaxing day today.

Enjoy your Sunday gentlemen.

Enjoy your Sunday gentlemen.

Fine lookin piece of German steel there Buddy !!!

It's been a while since I posted to the SOTD but I do read them. Thank you all for the great pictures and sharing your gear!

This razor was a local find of a Masonic W&B. I had rescaled it in Horn and later came to a barter agreement with Shutterbug where I couldn't pass up an other rescaling of this razor, this time by John. If you are interested in the work behind the scales you can find it in Shutterbug's thread here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...es-master.html I did re-hone the razor due to all of the handeling.

Prep: Hot shower w/ CarrieM's Drakar bath soap
Strop: Linen and SRD Bridal
Brush: Shavemac 23mm Silver tip
SC: CarrieM's Lavender
Razor: Wade and Butcher - Sheffield with Masonic symbols frosted into the blade
Cologne: Royall Spyce

This was a wonderful shave and the razor will be reserved for special occasions, probably the pre-birthday shave as Jr gifted me a beautiful Nes for my Birthday!

JoeD: I like those scales!
