Pre-Shave: A nice long shower to start the day. Brush: Semogue 2010 LE Silvertip Maxterpiece: Dovo 55 Strop: Ambrose Ebano Horsehide Soap/Cream:Bomb Custom Vetiver Blend Astringent: Thayer's Lavender After shave Balm: Bomb Custom Vetiver Blend EdT: Sigilli Athunis Results: What a Friday! I hadn't used my Bomb lately (heck, I haven't used any product lately because I've only shaved three times in over 2 weeks) and so I reached for my favorite, a custom scent with a healthy kick of vetiver. The lather worked up into an incredible soft, cushioned dream and the Dovo danced it in like a ballerina wiping away the little stubble I had left after yesterday's shave. The piece-de-resistance today was my newest cologne find: Sigilli Athunis this excellent earthy vetiver with a cedar note underneath is unbelievable! It's all featured today on our second new rug from the vacation. Bring on the world!!

Result:No shave yesterday after being so smooth with the Engelswerk on Wednesday. The Barnes is a smily old wedge customized by Alex Jacques. She is an amazing shaver and is the blade that made me fall in love with old sheffield wedges. I'm on the hunt, but haven't found a good deal on any yet.
Have a fantastic Friday everyone!

Just to answer all the questions. I pointed out my house.

Razor:Tally Ho
Pre-shave:Noxzema
Brush:Unknown boar
Soap:Handmade Naturals Frankincense
AS:Thayers Lavender and Avon Spicy
Result:After yesterdays debacle of a shave, I decided to bring the Tally Ho out for a go. This was one of those shaves where I had to keep checking to make sure that the razor was cutting the whiskers as I couldn't feel it on my face at all. Smooth, comfortable 2 pass CBS. Couldn"t ask for anything more.
Great shaves today everybody.

That "Hollywood face" of yours deserves a great treatment like today. Well done.
You sent us your rain...We're having a beautiful mellow rainy morning here in Los Angeles. We needed it too. That JR is a true stunner mate. Enjoy your day. Originally Posted by baldy

PS: Lovely shave today btw
And he brings out his #55. Great razor to start the day Bill. That EdT sounds amazing indeed. So does the rug (you must have hauled some heavy luggage on your way back, LOL). Well done buddy Originally Posted by LegalBeagle
