Thread: Sun May 15th - Sat May 21st

We just got word that Amund (Nightbreed) has passed away. He will be missed. I propose we hold a minute of silence and dedicate our SOTD for today and tomorrow in memory of a true gentleman and friend.

What sad news! My sincere condelences goes out to Amunds family and close ones!

My Fitjar cream and best gear will be used tomorrow.

My sincere condelences to Amunds family and friends.

Hey Dominic,
Stunning blade. Is the tang blackened or just looks that way in the picture?

I know what you mean Max, but I think it was me, not the soap. I have to take more time finding her sweet spot. I was too anxious about trying her out, I didn't do my usual diligence with the proper ratio. When lather turns fluffy on me, I know I have too much water in there (or water is too warm/hot). I really like the scent though. She loaded on the brush with great ease too. I am not going to be tossing this one just yet.

PS: Did you find Vivi, LOL??? or was she still hiding?

This is truly a sad day , my thoughts and prayers go out to Amunds family and friends, and my shave tom and as well as my next week shaves will be for my brother , rest In peace Amund,
Matt

A great guy has passed.
In honor of his memory I am posting this SOTD.

I know he was an avid fly-fisher and a collector of great shaving gear.

One of the things we shared was the love for Robert Williams and Alex Jacques Customs.

R.I.P Amund!

I was very very sad reading it.

In memory of Amund...
from the Holy Land...

My deepest sympathies to Amunds family and to the SRP community for this loss. A true brother will be missed.

My sincere condelences to Amunds family and friends.
