Art of Shaving lavender SC/Semogue BODGER proto/Edwin Jagger DE87 with Voskhod/Thayers Lavender/Art of Shaving lavender balm

Great weather here in Northern NJ for a change. Nice Sunday afternoon shave after a nice day.

Hot shower Stephan's SC rubbed into the whiskers.
Warm Oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
New Forest Badger Brush
Acca Kappa 1869 Shave Cream
SRD Paddle Strop, 50 laps on leather
Torrey Razor
AOS Aluminum
Stephan's Lilac AS
Vaseline for Men

Nice shave. I love the Acca Kappa SC (thanks Bill). Change of pace for the photo. I was standing in Hannah's thinking. Figured I would use her stuffies as a back drop.





Enjoy the evening.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes for the kids. We all had a great weekend. Poor old Lilly just went off to school, but Jack always sits on my lap when I read SOTD in the mornings. He thoroughly enjoyed all your messages, especially Tom's pics and Mikael's overkill smiley. Thanks brothers.

Yesterday I received a very generous gift from Frank (FBones24)--Sabon Aftershave from Israel. So, today I got to try out a new product, and it was very nice! The scent of white tea oil and chamomile soothes while the product leaves the face soft and moisturized. A very nice quality product!

Gentlemen.....glad you both enjoyed it!

Tell me about it Jim. Great hardware/software and yours ain't no slouch either. Well done

Very wise and diplomatic answer Mikael. Very Nice.

C'mon Tom...This favoritism towards the badger makes the rest of the animals feel unequal love, LOL. The raccoon feels sad already.

Fabulous Greaves my friend. I love that French point. Something like this does deserve a special spot in the cabinet

I'd say...Nice score David.

And here ladies and gentlemen is what we are witnessing as a real-time evolution of a straight shaver . David: it's nice seeing you going from the less than 5/8" blades to now the 8/8". Well done.

Great photo Jeff...Love the backdrop. I can tell that you miss your daughter(s). I bet the feeling is mutual. The AK is an awesome creme. Same compliment goes towards your Torrey. Well done

Thank you for the compliment and evolutionist theory Robert
The bigger blades are a much better fit for my face... or so I'd like to think
