Thread: Sun February 06th - Sat February 12th

Razor: Dovo 6/8

Soap: Proraso tea and aloe

AS: Old Spice

Result: My FIRST no nick, no cut, no burn BBS smooth shave. Several months in the making, and thanks to all who have offered their advice!

Nice hot Shower after mowing the lawn.
24mm TGN Extra Hair Custom Handle
TOBS Lavender Soap and Cream
Baby Frederick Reynolds honed on BBW
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

Oh what a nice relaxing shave this afternoon. Then spent a few hours fishing with the girls i the neighborhood lake. Not a single catch, but the Brazilian bass were chasing the fly.

Prep:Hot Shower
Brush: TGN custom 24mm
Strop:SRD PIV English Bridle
Cream: Calypso Bomb
Razor: Red Imp #132
After shave: Brut
EDT: None today


Result: 2nd shave with the Red Imp and it was a pleasure. This blade is quite long and it took a sweet edge that left me smiling. Thanks for all the great shots and gear today gentlemen, it's going to be another great week!

Congratulations It just keeps getting better from here! Thanks for posting it in the SOTD, we hope to see more of you

Glenn

Gentlemen,
As per today,this is my best SOTD,with some new items* on the deck,

Razor - my 1 and only Dovo
Soap - Nomad
Cream - TBS Maca Root
Alum* - 'Tawas Block' without Aluminum Chlohydrate
Toner+ AS - Witch Hazel and Old Spice [both were camera shy]
ASB - L'O Cade
EDT - Polo Explorer

The effect of 'Tawas Alum Block' is just fantastic,it really closes-up the skin,should have used it earlier.
End result - best BBS so far,joy for everyone
**sorry for the not so good a shot
Cheers,
(moonbeam

Now I understand Fonti. Thanks

Nice frameback Tom. Nice job on the clean up...Too bad she's got to go back though.
