Nice SOTD today Robert! Yep, I have two of his linen strops (attached/combined on my buffallo and cardovan strops) and I haven´t used any other fabric since day one .

Tuesday morning:

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Omego Pro boar
Razor: Merkur 34C w/ Red Personna blade
Soap: Cella
Splash: Aqua Velva Blue
ASB: Burt's Bees
EDT: Polo Explorer

Wonderful 2 pass shave. Very smooth. Between the Cella and the Burt's Bees ASB my face feels like a winner.

Tuesday
Semogue brush/Wilkinson Classic with Wilkinson/J.M Frasers cream/Kielhs balsam

Amen brother.

Gentlemen, please check your toiletries. There should be a symbol on the package resembling a jar with an open lid, and a number on it. That's how many months it is expected to last once opened.

Justin,
And that is exactly why I keep my cremes in the fridge and only take out enough (0.2 oz) to fill a sample jar.

Nice SOTD though

This is shave #7 on the Schick blade and it is still going strong. I enjoyed another excellent shave followed by my favorite Bay Rum. I am now ready for the day.

Phil,
Sounds like a very nice shave indeed. Enjoy the rest of your day

Yesterday's shave with the Rolls was so close I didn't have much stubble today. So I opted for this little personna.

Nice choice David.

Another fine shave with the Wosty. I always get a good shave from this blade. And today will be better than yesterday.

Nathan,
Can't go wrong with any Wosty. Sounds like a nice blade. Well done

Thanks maestro. My Torolf linen strop is designed to replace the webbed fabric on the SRD Premium IV. The Neil Miller linen is stand alone. I will have to check with Neil and see of he can customize it to fit and replace the webbed fabric (with the holes and all)

PS: How's the apprenticeship going?

Thanks Robert. #101 Pg 11, is my C12K. I made a pine box for it a few weeks ago, and cut an inch off the end of it for a slurry stone.
The apprenticeship is going well, I'm really enjoying learning new things. Working in a kitchen is a lot like working in a fabrication or metal workshop, just different tools, and different end products, but in essence you still just making stuff, which is what I like to do. Thanks for asking.

Early shower and shave tonite just to erase the shadow, going out for a visit.
Shower
CF Lavender Rooney Brush
Mekur Futura, Feather blade
Splash of Coachman AS
Quick, clean and pretty smooth

This is my first SOTD post. I finally had a shave that was worthy of commemorating. This was the first time I completed an entire straight razor shave and didn't need to do any clean up with the Mach 3. Good riddance!

Razor: Boker Edelweiss 5/8 w/ bone scales
Strop: SRD 3" Premium I - 50 strokes
Lather: TOBS Sandalwood Soap, Trumper Sandalwood Cream, Glycerine
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Lavender)
After Shave: Nivea Sensitive

No wounds sustained. Still need to work on mustache and chin technique.
