My First SOTD

Gentlemen,
here is my first SOTD, after I put the first hone wear in my razor (and it was well worth it, although it's not quite there yet).

Prep: shower and hot towel
Brush: TI Super Badger 23mm in horn
Soap: My main man the Fat
Razor: TI 5/8 full hollow also in horn
Post: Alum
AS: Trumper's Coral Skin Food
Cologne: Trumper's Marlborough

Attachment 66187

Result: Almost a 3-pass. Closer than usual, but months away from a BBS, it seems (after 2 months straight shaving).

Have a great Sunday, gents.

Thank you. Yes, it is a pleasure to shave with. I think that even my Grandfather, whom I inherited the shaving mug from, would have liked that set up.

Welcome to the fold Fred. Great to have you here. Congrats on honing this beautiful TI. I do hope, however, that you didn't put "hone wear" on her, LOL. Just keep at it, at it will all click together (almost overnight)

Hot Shower, Dome Razor: 1912 Gem Jr., Face Razor: CV Haljestrand #4, Semogue 2000, VDH Deluxe, Alum Block, Nivea ASB, Clubman AS

Wow! What a great Sunday Dome and Face Shave. Fresh blade in the Gem and of course the CV Haljestrand was ridiculous sharp after only the preshave stropping. Simple as a hammer and once again budget gear delivers in fine fashion.

Today's Shave:

Hot Shower
Warm Oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
Trumper's Violet Shave Cream
New Forest Badger Brush
Gillette Super Speed Razor Feather Blade
Pinaud Lilac Vegetal AS
Vaseline for Men

Nice shave this evening. First time I've used the Super Speed which is light in the hand and gives a nice shave with the feather blades. The Trumper's was really nice tonight also, whipped up a bunch of lather and the Dirty Bird kept it nice and warm.

Enjoy the evening.

In god faith, Amund.

Amund, I'm so sorry to hear your news brother. I read it an hour ago and was so shaken by it that I'm only now able to respond, I can only imagine how you are feeling. I hope you have some good friends and family to take this road with you and that you have a good team looking after you at the hospital. Please keep us informed and let us know if there is anything we can do.
Our thoughts are with you.
Grant
P.S. well done getting a straight shave in the hospital

Amund,

As many others have expressed, I am sorry to hear this news. I will keep you in my thoughts, and I wish you the very best in this challenge before you. Of course, I consider it a good sign that you're still fiesty enough to buck the system and use your straight. It's only when you give up being yourself that we have to worry!

God speed, and stay strong!

Result: I love the Sunday morning shave (I had to work again today, so it was early but I just now have time to post). 3 passes this morning with a wonderful old time smell from the J.M. Fraser Mosswood. I finished with the Ogallala and felt like a million bucks!
