    Gentleman, I'm new to the straight shaving world (but wish I'd discovered it 10 years ago!) and I'm awaiting my just-ordered Prima Klang in the mail, until then I hope you'll accept my humble DE razor.

    Location: Hong Kong
    Pre-shave: T&H Oil
    Cream: Pehhaligon's Opus 1870
    Brush: Trumper's Best Badger
    Razor: Merkur Barber Pole - Feather blades
    AS Balm: Trumper's Coral Skin Food
    EDT: Penhaligon's Opus 1870

    Result: A moment to slow down, be intoxicated by wonderful scents, and enjoy a very smooth and comfortable shave and face for the rest of the day.

    Cool Sunday Morning, New week, New Razor !!!

    First off, Happy Birthday Grant !!!!
    Welcome to the SOTD Alpine

    My newest acquisition, a 50mm Iwasaki Kamisori...
    I had been wanting my very own for awhile, thankfully the itch wasn't unbearable, but when this beaut came up in the Classifieds I decided it was time...
    The edge is really nice already, but I think a bit of Nakayama loving will make it sing in a bit higher key ...
    The lather was Prairie Creations Tallow Tahitian Amber, whipped up with a restored solid brass 22 mm sliver tip...
    25/50 on my Nichiri Pelican strop
    A very very light touch 2 pass shave yielded a DFS
    Followed by a huge splash of Lucky Tiger Bay Rum..

    I am ready for some Buckwheat Pancakes doused with real Maple Syrup, not that imitation junk, and it is going to be a great Sunday

    Preshave: Hot shower, lather, strop, hot towel, lather
    Razor: WM Elliot 73, 11/16, full hollow
    Strop: DOVO Cowshide
    Brush: My new Shavemac 410 28mm
    Soap: Tabac
    Music: Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Beethoven's Last Night(a rock-opera about Beethoven's last night on earth)
    AS: hot towel, cold towel, Alum, strop, Nivea Balm Sensitive
    Result: A nice after-hangover shave, but my technique is still lacking. A little irritation on the neck and some stubble on the chin. The shavemac is awesome! But I really gotta learn to lather with it, as the lather is on the brush instead of in. But practice makes perfect eventually .
    I'm clean enough for my job interview tomorrow.

    Enjoy the week gentlemen!

    I wanted a specail shave tonight for the birthday, so I pulled out my favorite razor, the W&B. The MWF was a present from the wife and I've been looking forward to trying it all day. I'd read it can be a little difficult to lather especially in the bowl, so I did my homework and picked up a few tips. I got a fantastic lather out of it, and the shave was nothing short of awesome.


    Grant,
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY my friend . Hope today is the best Birthday you had. Enjoy it with the family

    PS: Fantastic looking W&B

    YouTube - happy birthday

    Alpine,
    Welcome to SOTD and the world of straight shaving . DEs are just as good and no need to justify its use. Nice gear and congrats on the purchase of your Prima Klang

    Gentlemen...FANTASTIC SOTDs today and to think that it's only Sunday .

    Got some razor burn after this shave ? Maybe too much pressure, bad angle, red injun not sharp enough? Everything ? But the good part was the Stetson, I really dig stetson. If it's good enough for Tom Brady it's good enough for me.
    Have a great day gentlemen.

    Excellent choice of music! If you haven't already done so, check out the band Savatage also (most of the main TSO people are from this group).

    Cheers!
