Thread: Sun March 13th - Sat March 19th - THEMED SOTD

"Quack Quack"

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush (Rudy Vey): 26mm w/TGN Grade A Silvertip Badger (Kingwood handle)

Razor: 6/8" Dubl Duck "Goldedge", Full Hollow, Spike Point (Max restore)

Strop: 40/65 (Torolf linen/Premium IV leather)

Überlather: eShave "Almond" Shave Creme + Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap + Glycerin

Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue

After Shave Balm: eShave Almond ASB

Cologne: Acca Kappa "1869" EdC

Results: Awesome shave with the quacking Duck today. This beauty was restored by Max with all of her original parts intact. Hard to believe I had picked this one up for ~$35 (if memory serves me right). The Rudy Vey brush whipped up a nice creamy überlather, which was a fabulous treat to use. The almond scent was absolutely enchanting. While in a zen like trans, this quacking duck effortlessly wiped the whiskers to reveal a super smooth and BBS skin.

Great SOTDs...Have an AMAZING Tuesday gentlemen.

Tuesday
Calani Classic Havana SS/Merkur Progress with Ladas/Semogue SOC badger/Burts Bees Balsam

T&H brush / Tabac shave soap / Dubl Duck Wonderedge / Artisan

Tuesday, March 15th

Razor: Wilkinson Sticky
Blade: Super Iridium
Brush: Thater "Chubby"
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: DR Harris Arlington
A/S: DR Harris Arlington Splash


The H.L. Thater brush is a very well made, if relatively unknown, brush. I just picked this model up off the B/S/T and it larger than I imagined...a 26mm knot with a 50mm loft according to my measurements. The handle is octogonal and really feels great in the hand. It tore through the Harris Soap and produced enough lather for an Army. My Sticky and Iridium combo continue to impress.

Beautiful SOTD Gents !!! Stunning as usual.
No DD for me yet, but soon !

You are absolutely right!

Not a single Dubl Duck but no shortage of other German razors here, so two for the price of one. The tiny Fermarud excels at tidying up, but a complete shave can be a trying affair.
