Thread: Sun February 06th - Sat February 12th

Pre: Hot shower
Brush: PJ 3
Razor: Thomas Turner´s Everlasting
Soap: Nannys Ice and a Slice
AS: Dr Harris Sandalwood
Strops: Neil Miller
Scuttle: SWK
Result: Very clean
My new scuttle was a joy to use, I´ve to dail in the heat though, tap water is slightly to cold (around 55 degrees c) and water boiler to hot, hmm. Lovely scuttle anyways, sits perfect in my hand, good size and I love the design (limited edition). Ansgar sure knows how to make a scuttle! I missed a spot on my cheek today, when I did touch up, otherwise a very good shave

Thank you All! It´s such a joy to read everyones SODT:s

+1 - Fonti, you're making me jealous, and Greg, that razor turned out fabulous!

I couldn't decide which picture I liked better, so I took the liberty of posting both:

This is one of the two razors I made under the mentorship of Bob Allman at his home this past weekend.

Beautiful Razor. It must be so satisfying to shave with something you created. Congratulations.
Grant

Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Strop: Illinois 835
Soap: Proraso (White)
Razor: ERN Crown & Sword 6/8
A/S Balm: Van Heusen
Result: A little disappointing actually. The C&S pulled a little on the 2 day growth. The face is still smooth after 2 passes but I might take a look at that edge tomorrow and see what I can do.

Have a great day gentlemen. Its just about bed time for me.
Grant

Prep:Hot Shower
Brush: H.L. Thater 23mm
Strop:SRD PIV English Bridle
Uberlather: TGQ Cavendish Black, JM Fraser Mosswood cream, 5 drops glycerin
Razor: Kama
After shave: Ogallala Bayrum Limes & Peppercorns
EDT: NOIR


Result: The Kama is a large blade and is such a smooth shaver. 3 passes today with a wonderful smelling lather with excellent cushion and glide. I had enough left to shave at least 2 more people, but the face was so smooth there was nothing left to shave.

Have a wonderful Wednesday gentlemen!

Greg, that razor turned out fantastic! Glad to hear you got to make the trip and I can't wait to see her "sister".

Bill, I have nick named your DD the "Rockstar", I just really love those scales!

Grant, Sorry to hear about the pulling, I'm sure you'll get her fixed up

Mikael, Tom, & Fonti, Wonderful photos and gear gentlemen :

Sorry to hear about the shave Grant. Nice razor. I have a couple that still need the edge touched up.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

Hot Shower
5/8" Texas Shumate
VDH Boar
Arko Shavestick
Clubman Bay Rum AS
Crusellas Colonia 1800 Sandalwood

Job interview this morning so I whipped out the lucky razor and the sandalwood cologne. Hopefully, being lucky enough to stumble over a near pristine pre-1904 Shumate razor at the flea market for the princely sum of $8 will translate into similar luck for the job. This razor is just fantastic and seems to get sharper with every lap on the strop. Wish me luck fellas, I'm out!
