I woke very early this morning with my Blackberry going bezerk. As one can imagine, it was a busy intelligence day. I drove 90 miles to work did 12 hours of training and came home to a nice hot shower.
Today's shave:
Warm oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
New Forest badger
Acca Kappa shave cream
Dubl Duck full hollow
SRD P1, 40 felt, 60 leather
AOS Aluminum
Clubman Bay Rum
Vaseline for men.
I think the Daily News said it all

Monroe,
All aspects of this shave are wonderful. Well done indeed
Jeff,
Nice way to commemorate the event with the Duck and AK creme.
Terrific shave Frank
Happy SRP anniversary Greg. What a nice choice for a "first" razor to begin one's maiden voyage in straight shaving.
Thank you David
A nice idea indeed Glenn. Ain't honing fun?
Great gear for vacation Tom.
Béla,
How do you like the 2-band D01? Isn't that a heck of a fantastic brush? Stiffest backbones I have ever experienced. A gorgeous Pipe too.
Congrats Otto. Great score. Use it in good health buddy...and when you do, we will admire it every once in a while here on SOTD
Another stunning beauty Otto.
I love this brush Mikael. Great choice of razor to go with it.
Birnando,
I had no idea you were wearing a cast. Sorry to hear mate. What happened? But glad to hear that's it's off and you'll be hitting the 18-hole courses again. Watch out Tiger Woods!!!
BTW: A beautiful EPBD you got there. I also like going from the Coticule to the JNat. I found it to give one of the best edges I've had.
Sounds like an awesome shave...despite the rush.
I really like that Le Grelot Bill. Max did a wonderful job on those butterscotch scales.
Beautiful mug Grant and a gorgeous Bengall. New display cases? Can't wait to see them (filled)...I guess we should be expecting newcomers or restores in your collection soon.
She's a beauty Rene. Is she one of the ones that was tough to hone?
...and now it's time to wake up from that dream, LOOOOOOOOL

Mikael,
You matchmaker you, LOOOOOL. Interesting idea, but no cigar!!!! Stop fighting over my Maxterpieces you guys. This blades looooooves the life in California, LOL
Hope you're not going to try that stunt again, LOL. Kids are too brutally honest. She is right though: getting old is a B**ch. We have to remember we're not 20 anymore (well, at least not physically. Mentally, that's another question, LOL).
Thank you B. We better call in the special forces to deal with Def5, LOL.
Where's the LOVE man, LOL?
