Very sleek box Grant. Nicely done and glad to hear that you are enjoying your new venture.

Jim,
That sounds like a very nice shave, but I can't seem to focus on your DE when all those straights are staring me right in the eyes, LOL. Nice collection you git there

Hey Mark,
What is it that they have you doing man? But, at least you get to enjoy nice shaves (and new blades) with the extra $$ that you get. Hope you enjoyed dinner. Sounded yummy :-)

Razor: Boker Edelweiss 5/8 w/ bone scales

Hi Oscar and welcome to SOTD. Great to have you here and congratulations for ditching the Mach3. It only gets better from here on out (and addictive, LOL). I would keep it as a reminder of the old days.

Beautiful Bow Tom. Getting ready for Israel this time? If so, be careful...that region is fairly unstable these days.

I´m sure he can, I know he has had a massive amounts of work lately, but he´ll do it when he gets the time. He has even made me some special leather rolls (large, that holds many razors) that has my initials, the "MK" rolls

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Martinez' custom: Chess King w/ 26mm silver tip badger
Soap: Mama Bear's Ye Olde Barbershoppe
Strop: Tony Miller Heirloom tri-strop (3x25)
Razor: Otto Bush World Master
ASB: Caswell-Massey Number Six

-10C / 14F this morning. Smooth shave.

@otto: That is a unique razor. I've never seen anything quite like it. Really cool.

Pre: Hot shower
Brush: Astor LE
Razor: The Three Crosses
Soap: MdC
AS: Ogallala Lime and Peppercorns
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Uberclean
W O W ! ! This is one nice razor, I´m flabergasted. It´s such a delicate blade (the singing/sound when stropping is like nothing else) and it´s very flexible, this is my best razor, period. + I got a present yesterday - a MdC soap, this´s also a big WOW, very nice soap and I can see the hype (it lives up to it) - thank you N!.

The next stage is wonderful!!!


To Everyone:
Thanks for the great SOTD posts. Long days and sporadic shaves for me again until Friday.

Strop: Illinois 835
Brush: FS Finest Badger
Soap: Tabac
Razor: Bengall Full Concave 11/16
Astringent: Thayer's Original Witch Hazel
A/S: Wahl Bay Rum
I just honed this freshly restored Bengall last night, finishing with my new Coticule. Judging from the way it was popping arm hair, I was expecting a pretty good shave, but I was plesantly suprised. It gave me an awesome shave, 3 passes for an absolute BBS. I've got another great razor and a great Coti. All this and I'm not even finished honing yet. I just wanted to feel what the new Coti can do, tomorrow I'll take it to the Thuri and after that maybe a few laps on the Chrome Ox.
Another sweet addition to the collection.

Thanks for all your fantastic posts boys.
Grant
