Wednesday 4/6/11

Geo. Wostenholm & Son's 5/8
Semogue 830
Prairie Creations Mayan Magic ss
Thayers Cucumber WH w/ aloe
Lucky Tiger a/s and Face Tonic
MK for Men a/s balm

An evening shave for a change with the Wostenholm and the PC soap with great results. I've been using a bunch of Geneva Cutlery blades lately so I was curious to see how the Sheffield steel felt in comparison. This particular razor has always worked well for me but it did feel different on my face than the Genevas. And today was better than yesterday.

Prep: Hot shower – followed by Robeson bay rum (mentholated) beard prep method
SS/SC: Tabac + J M Fraser’s = Superlather
Brush: Plisson faux Ebony - European White - Size 12
Strop: VB Red Latigo 50 fabric; 55 leather
Razor: 7/8” Manaslu “Extra True Heart” Thank you LegalBeagle.
Astringent: Dickinson’s Witch Hazel
ASB: Anherb Natural Aftershave Conditioner
AS: Booster “Polar Ice”
Result: As always, a great shave. Parting with the Manaslu is such sweet sorrow…

No shave for me today, dont even have time to check out the last 24 hours worth of posts. Jack spiked a temperature of 38.8 C, the procedure is anything above 38 and he's straight into hospital on I.V. antibiotics until they figure out whats going on. Hopefully nothing sinister, he is being a very brave man. So thats where we are, I've just ducked home for some clean clothes and have to get back there. No internet access at the hospital so I'll catch up with all the great SOTD posts in a day or 2 hopefully when we get out.
Take care gentlemen, give your kids an extra hug tonight.

Take care Grant! I hugged my boy already! Stay strong!
Hopefully my SOTD will be good enough for the both of us!

Our thoughts are with you guys Grant. I don't think (hopefully) that it's serious and probably just cautionary procedure, but better safe than sorry. Tell Jack we're all cheering for him on our end. The kids send him their BIG hugs
