Woww Teiste,
If I didn't know any better, I'd say that the Calani has taken a nice top spot in your rotation.

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.

Phil,
I love my Thater too Phil. Excellent craftsmanship and bristle quality. Nice buy. Congrats.

To me, and I bet for a lot of us, you really make the SOTD's a wonderful daily experience, with all your lovely comments and kind words.

And you also set the bar when it comes to photographing all that great gear

Thanks a lot Buddy!!

Thanks guys. You're too kind

Birnando,
You are da man, man. Thank you for the very kind words. It is really appreciated. This is a community (or rather brotherhood) where it is a pleasure to interact. I feel like everyone is somehow related to me...like a family.

Moonbeam: I can't count that high, LOL...but thank you

X,
Holy cow, look at that lather. Very nice. It must have felt great to wipe a few months of growth with that Wapi

Thanks Chip. Rudy Vey turned the handle for me based on a design I gave him. Great job he did with the Kingwood too. Highly recommend him, but since you do this yourself too, maybe you can give it a go? Aside from design, it is also very ergonomic and easy on the wrist.

Ouuuuch Jim,
I think it should be illegal to wake up anytime before 5AM, LOL. I am glad you had a nice relaxing shave though. The CF lime is fabulous as is the Duck. Well done. Get a bottle of wine and celebrate.

Nice shave, razor pulled needs a bit of work. Close shave even with the pulling.

Nice going Jeff...Love the gear. I am sure that once you dial that edge on this beauty, she will not disappoint at all. Nice salamander too

Hence the dangers of having a "razor themed" SOTD, LOL. I don't know about everyone else, but I do feel your frustration and pain.

Great shave though. Love your Boker and I am glad to see that you're loving the MdC (and hope you won't get bored and put it on the classifieds, LOL)

And a quack quack here, and a quack quack there...everywhere quack quack. Sweet dreams buddy. Tomorrow you'll dream about Kamisoris and Samurais, LOL

A day with Japanese razors.
Our hearts and thoughts are in Japan in this days. It is a terrible situation.

My personal SOTD:

soap: Calani
brush: Muehle
razor: H-Diamond
AS: Brut

May the force be with you!

Nice sentiment, those folks in Japan are in a tough spot.

Thank you. If I have much growth, it's a trial really because there's no question of letting the weight of the razor do the work, but if it's a case of a quick once over or tidying up it's very easy to do, and you can be very precise about it. If I had smaller fingers, that'd help!

My thoughts goes to the people of Japan today, I hope the worst is over (and that your wife´s still fine, Bill)!

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: New Forest, Tubby 2
Razor: Henkotsu
Soap: Nannys The Spicey One
AS: Barbershop Bay Rum
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very clean
Bay Rum AS scent was nice, classic and rich in "flavour".

Wednesday mornings shave

My thoughts are with the Japanese people, as they fight thru the hardship of the horrendous disaster they have been hit by.

Prep: Warm Shower
Brush: Heinrich L. Thäter, Silvertip 26mm
Cream: Truefitt & Hill 1805
Razor: The very petite Solgen75 Chemical Steel. (Next to a Livi, for comparison) Fresh of a Nakayama Maruichi finisher
Strop: Kanayama #90000, tri strop
ASB: Truefitt & Hill 1805
EdT: Truefitt & Hill 1805



(in the back of the picture, you can just make out the curious face of my African Grey Parrot, he goes by the name Viggo..)

A very nice day to you all!

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for my wife's family and all the people of Japan.
