Glenn,

Thank you. It's funny how scent memories can affect us. The Fitjar soap really smells like smoke, and I immediately thought of the fireplace in our living room growing up. Thus, the firewood and bellows for the picture.

Good Afternoon Gentlemen!

PREP: Proraso Preshave Cream
BRUSH: CHUBBY 2 Best Badger
SOAP/CREAM: Musgo Real shave cream
SCUTTLE: Georgetown Pottery Scuttle
STROP: Kanayama Cordovan #30000
RAZOR:13/16" Joseph Rodgers & Sons
SHAVE: 2 passes, WTG / XTG

RESULT: first-class shave (BBS)



Have a nice Day!

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 24mm Thäter Silvertip Badger

Razor: 6/8" C.V. Heljestrand "Royal Kindal", Hollow, Round Point

Strop: 50/60 (Torolf linen/Premium IV leather)

Überlather: Black Jack "Triple Cushion" Shave Creme + QEDman "Special 218" Shave Soap + Glycerin

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

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

Cologne: Alt Innsbruck EdC

Results: An awesome shave after 2-days of no shaving. The QEDman "Special 218" has a very lovely, yet strong scent...and it makes for a remarkable lather - moist, and thick. I got this soap after visiting Max and getting hooked to the scent of this soap (thanks Max ) and now, it's performance. Very nice indeed. I decided to take my Thäter for a spin and I am very glad I did. She performs just like my Shavemacs...dense with super soft tips, yet firm backbone. This brush did wonders whipping up a creamy lather in no time at all. Prepping the 2-day growth was a remarkable treat with this duo. Then came the Pièce de la résistance, the "Royal Kindal"...the edge on this beauty is to (literally) die for. Understandable, considering that she is a Swede, which are renown for their sharp, and smooth edges. This shave will go down in the books as one that was truly fit for royalty. As my friend (aka, Moonbeam) would call it: JLLS (i.e., "J.Lo Legs Smooooth") all the way. Let's see what this Monday has in store for us.

******************************


Excellent SOTDs gentlemen. Have a GREAT Monday.

Wow, M W F!! I used a slightly damp/dryer brush today, loaded longer and worked it in longer than usual. What a lather explosion

Mikael,
What an awesome combination of hardware and software. I LOVE MWF. I also load some extra MWF in my bowl and it never disappoints. What a feeling indeed. Hope you don;t get breakouts from it.

Reaaaaaal nice Grant. Well done. And nice to see his hair growing back. He makes all of us proud. He's definitely being groomed with the right idea of shaving in mind too
