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.
Can't wait to see all your great stuff this week!Bjoernar

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
