Wish I could take credit for that one, but Neil Miller in England fixed her up. And I wish, again , but she´s prob "only" from early 19th century.

Thank you Robert! I agree, Cyril´s the good stuff - lovely scent, thick and slippery

Futur/Perma sharp blade/Arko soap pressed in an Old Spice mug/ Stetson

DFS all the way. BBS in 3 easy passes.

Great Pictures in SOTD, as always.

No shave yesterday as I was sick as a dog. Today the worst of it seems to have passed but I'm awfully dehydrated due to "losing fluids" all day yesterday. Interesting statistic: Yesterday was my first no shave day since 21 August 10.

Hot Shower, Baby Oil Preshave, Texas Shumate, Omega Boar, Arko Shavestick, Alum Block/Nivea ASB, Skin Bracer AS, Crusellas Colonia 1800 Vetiver.

Great shave! The razor effortlessly mowed down my stubble and I went from Bobo the homeless man to BBS in two passes and spot touchup.

Thanks Robert It was a prototype of Peters' with a shorter loft of 44mm. Serious amount of backbone. The MWF quivers in it's ceramic dish when it see the 2203!

Oscar.

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 22mm Vulfix Super Badger

Razor: 7/8" Friodur INOX, Scalloped back, Full Hollow Ground, Spike Point (Black Paper Micarta - Max restore)

Strop: 50/65 (Neil Miller linen/Premium IV leather)

Überlather: NancyBoy "Signature" Shave Creme + SRD "Lavender" Shave Soap + Glycerin

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

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue AS

Cologne: 1967 Guerlain Habit Rouge

Results: Beautiful shave with this Friodur + this 'out of this world' lather . The NancyBoy is one heck of a shave creme. Absolutely amazing...combined with the SRD lavender, this lather was oozing with wholesome goodness that my face loved. Wowwwwwww!!!!!! The blade just wiped the whiskers from yesterday. Very relaxing, smooth and irritation free shave.

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.
Grant

Prayers headed Jack's way, friend.
