Thread: Sun May 01st - Sat May 07th

Strop: Illinois 835
Brush: FS Finest Badger
Soap: Proraso (White)
Razor: Royal Invicta 6/8
Astringent: Thayer's Unscented Witch Hazel
Balm: Nivea Replenishing
A/S: Wahl Bay Rum
Result: This razor is in top shape at the moment after just getting a rescale and the blade sanded, polished and honed. A very comfortable shave, as close to BBS as I get from just 2 passes.
In the picture is one of the display cases I've just finished. I made 2 of them because, lets be honest, I know I'll fill them. And one day I'd like to pass on a 7 day set to each of my sons.

Have a great day gentlemen

Thanks, it has a brass latch on it to keep it closed, but not a lock as such. It will be high enough so that the kids cant reach it for a few years.

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: Simpson Persian Jar 2, Super badger

Razor: Joseph Elliot, Best silver steel, Sheffield. 5/8 Faux Frameback

Strop: SRD Premium IV, English Bridle EL

Soap/Cream: Acqua di Parma Cream

Astringent: Alum

After shave Balm: Acqua di Parma Colonia

EdT: Acqua di Parma Colonia

******************************

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 26mm Saville Row 3326 Silvertip Badger

Maxterpiece: 15/16" Heinrich Böker #14 "Arbolito", Full Hollow Ground, Muted Spike Point (Black Horn scales)

Strop: 45/60 laps (Torolf linen/Premium IV leather)

Überlather: Provence Santé Shave Creme + Provence Santé Shave Soap + Glycerin

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

Moisturizer: D.R. Harris After Shave Milk

After Shave Splash: D.R. Harris "Pink" After Shave

Results: This Arbolito is an amazing shaver ...especially this one, scaled by Max in beautiful black horn. No one does horn the way Max does it. We can call it the "Horny Maxterpiece" . Anyhoo, I digress. The Provence Sante überlather was a beautiful way to get the beard prepped up for this blade. And the Saville Row was the perfect choice for delivering and working this rich, wholesome lather into the whiskers. Ooooooh Yeaaaaaah!!!!!! This thing was so delicious that I spent a good 3 minutes working this lather into my face. The D.R. Harris Milk/AS mix provided the perfect finish to this fabulous shave. What a way to start this Wednesday.

******************************


Have a MARVELOUS Wednesday gentlemen .

To Max: get well soon brother

See? You already have a marriage made in heaven. This PC (a gorgeous blade) and your Bill Simpson brush are made for one another. You don't need my Maxterpiece, LOOOOOOL.

Glenn,
Super fantastic shave. I like your uber-combination and brush. Nice Halstead too. So, what's your next wedge going to be?

Spent a little time on the fine stone with this razor last evening just a fine polishing sort of thing and the edge was really nice for me today.

Beautiful KT GI. What stone did you use?

Grant,
Beautiful display case. Question is what to fill it with, LOL? Two of each blade (one for each case) or different blades? Hmmmm...choices, choices. Whatever the case, your sons have a nice inheritance to look forward to. Beautiful Invicta too.

But Robert, they´re not in love

Love your setup today! First I thought you didn´t have a Maxterpiece in todays SOTD, but of course you had It´s time to set him free now, he needs to get out of your sweatshop, errhh, basement and back to his real home

Happy birthday Jose!!!
