    Default Sunday morning bliss

    Gentlemen
    I'm very excited about this weeks SOTD.
    I have spent the last several days planning what stuff to use

    For today, I decided to not show a WB, simply because what I am showing is one of my absolute favorites, and it most definitely is a Sheffield beauty.
    I hope that's OK.


    Prep: Nice relaxing shower.
    Cream: Domenica Caraceni 1913
    Brush: Plisson High Mountain White #16
    Scuttle: Schwarzweisscheramik Large white
    Razor: Marshes & Shepherd 1/4 hollow, 10/8"
    Refreshed it on my Charnley forest this morning, then some
    Kanayama stropping. wonderful edge on it now
    Astringent: Thayers Medicated SuperHazel
    ASB: Truefitt&Hill Classic
    EdT: Domenica Caraceni 1913.

    Default Sunday morning

    Prep: Hot shower
    Brush: New Forest High Mountain badger
    Razor: Mappin & Webb the Trustworthy
    Soap: Nannys The Spicey One
    AS: Dr Harris Sandalwood
    Scuttle and soap mug: Schwarzweisscheramik
    Strops: Neil Miller linen/cardovan and an oil strop
    Result: Very, very clean
    I don´t have a shave ready W&B, but Iincluded one of the two I got left. I´ve got high hopes for this W&B and the scales are lovely (I hope they make it). I used one of my sheffield favourites for todays theme - my trustworthy Mappin. Brush and soap was stellar, those tips´ve the softest tips of all my brushes and Nannys soap delivered big time

    I have 2 of those and they give an incredible shave. One of them is identical to the one Otto posted. Good choice
