Ahhhh Jeff,
I would give anything for a "lazy" day like that. Looks like you enjoyed it. Have fun at dinner. Don't give up on Cella.

First off: congratulations on your son's wonderful win. You have spoken like a proud parent.

Second: wonderful shave to honor their win

Third: Madame Butterfly is a beautiful Opera (as is Barber of Seville). Great choices.

Jim,
Sounds like a fitting (yet wonderful) shave for a rainy day.

Glenn,
I was going to say something nice about your SOTD/shave, but forget all that. Lily Kate is a 1000 times better. She sounds soooo cute. I bet she made your day more than the Livi. Well done.

soap: Calani
brush: Vintage boar
razor: Fili
AS: Old Spice

Have a nice day.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush:E. J. best badger
Soap: Mama Bear's Ye Olde Barbershoppe
Strop: Tony Miller Heirloom tri-strop (3x25)
Razor: Henry Sears & son "Diamond Edge" 13/16
ASB: Caswell-Massey Newport

Fast, but comfortable shave.

Thank you Robert! It´s a 6/8 and more like half hollowish, but it´s a very stiff grind and closer to a wedge in the feel. The B K:s are rare, I only heard of three and according to some factory sheets I got (but they only stretch for like 8 years, I think Heljestrand used to change things rather often) it´s a different grind to the M K:s.

Stunnig SOTD:s everyone! Thanks for sharing!!

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Simpson Polo 8
Razor: Bresnick Duble Duck by Puma
Soap: Cella
AS: Dr Harris Sandalwood
Strop: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very close
Wow, what an extremly nice razor!! The scales where made by Max, even though he didn´t know he made them for me, thanks Max! I was a bit stressed out, since it´s an expensive razor, but it was worth every cent, thank you Quinton for a fantastic razor and the smoothest transaction ever!
