No cheating myself tonite, took flight with the Duck a very smooth migration.
Good shaving to everyone. Great pics and its only Wed.

Each shave gets a little easier, faster, and closer!

Pre-Shave: Hot Shower
Brush: Vestavia 25mm Silver Tip
Razor: Boker Edelweiss 5/8 w/ bone scales
Strop: SRD 3" Premium I - 30/50 fabric/leather
Lather: SRD Lavender Essential Oil Soap sample

This soap smells incredible the purest lavender scent I've experienced in a soap. It also lathers incredibly well. Thanks for the pics.

Maestro Robert,

Another long, long day. Came home and before I did anything took a long hot shower and shave. Second thing I did was post here. After a bowl of soup and early to bed.

Today's SOTD:
Hot shower, Stephan's rubbed into the whiskers
Warm oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
Nancy Boy Shave Cream
Custom Badger Brush
Genco, Easy Aces
Stropped on a SRD Paddle 50 laps
Lilac Vegetal
Vaseline for Men

Great shave after a long day.

My wonderful shave of the day:

HOT HOT shower
Wash: neutrogena sensitive
Preshave: Jungle Organic Cold Pressed Coconut Oil
Lather: Geo. F. Trumper Almond w/ vdh soap and more coconut oil (my best lather yet)
Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89L
Blade: Feather
Aftershave: Baxter of California aftershave balm (wow nice tingle)

Today has a little bit of a theme. The IXL masterfuly done by Max is a celebratory razor. I had Max do it to celebrate my divorce. I shall quote from the book and gospel acording to my EX "I dont believe child support. If you cant afford them you shouldn't have them" Ah yes. This said after she has yet to pay a DIME in support. HELL YES im celebrating!! The Salter is a congratulations gift from Bill for the divorce! Thank you Bill. This stuff is awesome. That leaves the HIGH CLASS. Bill was very generous to hone it for me on his Jnat for me to compaire against my own honing. Bill . Buttery smooth! Fantastic job. 2 passes for my shave with no need for a third. This razor is one of those" YEA over my dead body" would i get rid of. After my last shave with the IXL i realized i didnt strop. That made a huge difference for me. That blade sings like Mariah Carey!

Tony miller strop
New forest "Bought from Matt"

Mikael,
No, not Rooney...Morris & Forndran (but not sure if Rooney made them). Great brushes. Not as stiff a backbone as my Shavemac 2-band, but stiff nonetheless with a loft size of ~56mm. Fantastic brush and a joy to use.

Nice blade Oscar. If you enjoy the SRD Lavender scent, you will also enjoy the scent of D.R. Harris' lavender soap or CF Lavender. Wonderful to the core.

Ha Ha Ha...too funny Moonbeam. I will try looking for "Dubl Sheep" razors, LOL. That would put your mind at ease and make you go to sleep faster counting sheep rather than ducks, LOL

IXL + High Class

Nice shave and theme Rene. Aren't you glad that your Ex is no longer in your life? You and your kids deserve better.

Max did a wonderful job on that IXL and Bill was generous to hone it on his JNat. I am surprised that he returned it, LOL.

As for the Mariah Carey analogy, I will never look at a singing blade the same way ever again, LOL.

Prep:Hot Shower
Brush:TGN 24mm Custom in Crimson Swirl
Strop:SRD PIV English Bridle
Cream:Bomb Goodfellas
Razor: Boker King Cutter
After shave: Ogallala Bayrum & Sandalwood
EDT: L'Occitane Vetyver


Result:A great shave to start the day, just now getting a chance to post. 3 passes and uber-smooth.

Cheers!
