Today I arrived home and felt adventurous. I prepared an early dinner to surprise my wife and daughters. I whipped up a bit of Italian Sausage with Broccoli Rabe over Penne Pasta. After dinner I took a nice shower and am now prepared to take the wife out for desert.
Shower
Warm Oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
Gentleman's Best Signature series soap with glycerin
Custom Badge Brush
Kinsyo Frame Back
SRD P1 Felt and leather
AOS Aluminum
Pinaud Clubman
Vaseline for me.
This razor is heavy in the hand but glides easily. I honed it a while back as one of my first. It retained a nice edge and did a great job.
Enjoy the evening.

I don't know Julian...that's not the Faultless' fault, it's the whiskers that grow too slow, LOL. We have to fix your genes buddy, LOOOOL. Rene has the same problem. Originally Posted by jss

There she is again. I love it Julian Originally Posted by jss

Fantastic setup as always Teiste Originally Posted by Teiste

Thank you Sachin for both the info and the kind words. I hav ebeen contemplating the "Ox&Cam" scent from them, but not sure yet. If it's anything similar to the #88, then I would rather wait. Thoughts/advice? Originally Posted by sachin
Thanks Robert. QED vetiver is a strong straight up vetiver and that's how I like my vetiver
Love your SOTD post from today. Have to agree, the C&S #88 is a top-notch soap but the scent just doesn't do it for me. Have you tried the C&S Oxford and Cambridge shave soap?

Beautiful blade btw and kudos to Birnando for honing her up for you...He sure knows what he's doing when it comes to honing and anything shaving related and unrelated. I bet you got to see some wonderful collection of stones and blades. I am doubly jealous.
I love you man...You're such a gentleman. But, I must say your post is making me realize I am famished...Time for dinner for us and wife's cooked up something special (don't know what. She won't say, but it sure smells great). Glad you enjoyed the evening buddy Originally Posted by Mvcrash
That Kinsyo looks amazing btw
And me: Hungry, LOL Originally Posted by Birnando
I love that Boker of yours Frank. Wonderful shave Originally Posted by Fbones24

Feather popular/Rapira Blade/Fullers synthetic brush/ Arko SC
The feather popular seems to work better with a more forgiving blade. The Rapira delivered. A three pass DFS with out any irritation. The synthetic brush left a lot to be desired. I will re-knot it with a Turkish horsehair #6 and hopefully turn it into something special. All and all a good shave.
