Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W Razor: Revisor - Dovo 55 Brush: Simpson Polo 10 Cream: Castle Forbes Lime Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel ASB: QED Lime AS: Booster Lime Results: Tonight's shave was a test shave so I used each razor for every pass. The Revisor WTG, The Ebony Dovo 55 XTG and the Blue Paua Dovo for my last ATG. Needless to say I don't have 1 stubble left. Went lime all the way. From the famous performing Castle Forbes, slick moisturizing QED and Booster's exquisite lime smelling AS. Talk about a memorable shave. Wishing everyone a superb SOTD.!

Sunday morning
Pre. Hot shower
Brush: Simpson PJ 3
Razor: Henkotsu
Soap/Cream: Nannys Patchouli and Da Bomd (cheers Bill!)
AS: Mennen
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
Decided to try and go for some super lather, it was good, but I got it to thin. Liked the scent combo though (pure patchouli wasn´t my thing). Nick visited today, under the jawline, this point is no joke.

Sorry to hear about Nick's visit, Mikael, but I must say to both of you gentlemen, that these are some gorgeous kamisori. But--Why are you trying so hard to fuel my RAD???
The excursion sounds lovely-and the shave looked so. Teavana has some nice teas. What a great way to warm up after a cold excursion!
Three razors, Max? How did your baby-face ever survive?Great looking blades, though!

Thanked: 1072Location: Coffs Harbour AustraliaSome Great post already boys, Got to get me a Kamisori on of these days.
Strop: Illinois 835
Soap: Proraso
Brush: FS Finest Badger
Razor: Gotta 120
A/S Balm: Nivea Replenishing Post Shave
A/S: David Craig Bay Rum
As soon as I began tonights shave I remembered that last time I used this razor it was in need of a touch-up.
Result: Not the best shave I've ever had. I wasnt game to try an ATG pass so stopped at 2 passes.This blade needs some work, I might pull the whole thing apart and give it a proper restore actually. Apart from a honing this is pretty much how I found it in an Antique Store.
Have a great week gentlemen.

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.
