Max, your razor is beautiful- as always.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Martinez' custom: Chess King w/ 26mm silver tip badger.
Soap: Proraso
Strop: Tony Miller Heirloom tri-strop (3x25)
Razor: Mastro Livi 8/8 Bergam Damascus in Mammoth Ivory Scales

Unhurried relaxing BBS shave!

Max, well done sir. Again.
Great kit and pics guys, cannot wait for the themed week!

PS. I almost feel like re-posting my last SOTD picture since that Clauss left me stubble free until now... and because I really liked it and I won't get to post another until I have some hair to shave.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush Astor
Razor: C V Heljestrand B K 42, in ivory scales
Soap: Nannys Yushu
AS: Aqua Velva by Williams
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Uberclean
Wow, changed the setup in the last minute and boy am I glad for that, this was a very nice shave

Whoa, very nice so far chaps! Love the new razor, Max.

Today's is a double test shave:



New Forest 2211 silvertip; Ern 1360; G Myers in ripple ash; Nanny's sandalwood soft soap; Musgo Real Classic aftershave.

The Myers is en route to a new owner. Officially it's just in for honing, but I'll be tightening it up a little and giving the scales a thin coat of oil so that it's looking its best. Nice to see this one again, I'm still pleased with it.

1000th Post
Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Strop: Illinois 835
Brush: Comoy Badger
Soap: Tabac
Razor: Bengall Full Concave 11/16
A/S Balm: Nivea Replenishing Post Shave
A/S: Wahl Bay Rum
I wanted a special shave for this special occasion, and so went with the latest addition to my collection. I just gave the Bengall the finishing touch today with 10 laps on the Chrome Oxide.
Result: Absolutely fantastic shave, the edge on this baby is superb. Three passes and I now have the best BBS of my shaving career.

Have a great week boys, thanks for all the posts and pics.

On a Bay Rum adventure last night, eh, LOL? Absolutely stunning "humpback blade" Max. As Jeff (mvcrash) eluded to, this is not helping my RAD.

PS: Can't wait for the theme. It's going to be fun. it always is.

Tom,
Between you and Max, the rest of us don't stand a chance, LOL. Well done with a beautiful blade. I enjoyed the "Buddel Show" very much, but feel sad that it's kinda over.

Otto,
What a nice combination. A fabulous Italian blade (and lather) dancing to the tune of Vivaldi (with a performance from none other than one of the great violin virtousosos).

We need to get you a creme that accelerates hair growth, LOL. It must be torture to wait.

Stunning razor Mikael. Is she a wedge like her older sister #41? How big is she?

Andy,
Beautiful setup and blades, but that Myers in particular is one gorgeous blade. Love the etching. Too bad it's not yours to keep.

Paul,
I love that Fili. Thank you...You inspired me to shave with my #14 tomorrow. I just touched up the one Matt (aka, thewatermark) had borrowed and she is as sharp as a tack.

Finally got my Genco put back together after restoring it. This uber combo is one of the best ones I had used. The Goorej is a great cream because it has Lanolin properties

beautiful job on the Genco Matt. Btw: the Godrej shave cremes are fantastic and they are so cheap. Worth their weight in gold. Congrats
