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

Custom(less) Shave (and a very tough Saturday to live with)

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 26mm Saville Row 3326 Silvertip Badger

Razor: 15/16" Böker #14 "Arbolito", Full Hollow, (muted) Spike Point (Black Horn scales by Max)

Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller linen/Premium IV leather

Überlather: Cyril Salter "Sublime Citrus" Shave Creme + Glycerin

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

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Alt Innsbruck

Results: I don't have any customs (yet), so I decided to pull out this Böker Arbolito I got a couple of weeks ago from Marc (aka, Muscles), a member in Australia. I am not much in a mood to write a descriptive today so you guys will have to accept my apologies (we just heard that my father in law has passed away...no more suffering for him ). Great shave with a very heavy heart. My wife's has taken this news very very hard.

******************************


I will be off making proper arrangements (I may not respond quickly). I will keep you guys posted soon. Please keep my wife and her family in your prayers and thoughts in this very tough time.

Will do that my friend.

Second post:
some impressions from the Leipzig Book Fair:
I met Earnie LaPointe- the great-grantson of Sitting Bull.
He signed the English version of his book for my son Marcus and the German version for me and my wife, thanks Earnie!






We saw interesting things, old machines and reprints and a pretty cool writer:
