Thread: Sun June 12th - Sat June 18th

No picture today. Forgot to charge my camera.

Razor: Bengall cast steel
Pre-shave: Noxzema
Brush: Unknown boar
Soap: VDH deluxe
AS: Thayers Lavender
Result: I've been slowly working on this razor for a couple of weeks as it had a double frown when I got it. After shaving with it I need to take it back to the hones for a little more quality time. Just not quite up to snuff yet. I'll post a pic of the razor tomorrow with my SOTD.

Great shaves today everyone.

Tom,
That is one beautiful Wosty frameback. Congrats and beautiful job on restoring her. You've done her justice.

+1. CBS is a good coinage to a fitting shave.

Well said brother. Well said. I must say that if these posts are any indication, this community's shaves reflect the fact that everyone lives by this motto everyday

Great razor buddy. Pink rocks. I love this AS. Couple it with the AS Balm and you have an unbeatable combination

I think you mean SRP, right ? But from the looks of it (and as Tom, aka Sharptonn, already mentioned), you already seem to know how buddy. If you see a comment or post you like, hit the "likes" button...SOTD decided to remove the thanks button (which exists on other categories) because some thought that the "thanks" is reserved for comments that are meaningful/helpful for the general community...so, SOTD only has the "likes". I say, keep rocking as you do and don't sweat these details.

Charlie's work is exactly what came to mind too.

Nice show Rum.

PS: I completely forgot it's Pentecost today!!! We actually celebrate it on the 40th rather than 50th. Either way, congratulations to all Christians in this forum and around the world

Good morning friends
I start my day with one of my best Wade & Butcher

Pre-Shave: A warm shower

Brush: Simpson Polo 12, 2-Band Super Badger

Razor: Robert Williams Custom, 8'8" Spanish Point, MOP scales

Strop: Kanayama #90000, tri strop

Soap/Cream: Acqua di Parma Colonia Shaving cream

Scuttle:Schwarzweisskeramik, Large White

Astringent: Thayers Medicated Super Hazel

After shave Balm: Acqua di Parma Colonia ASB

EdT: Acqua di Parma Colonia

Results: A brilliant shave. The RW is a big and heavy brute of a blade, but it has a gentle, nimble way of mowing down whiskers that is simply great. I could shave with this thing for the rest of my days, and I'd be nothing but smiles

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


I'm heading for the golf course, have a great day guys!

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Edwin Jagger best badger
Soap: Mama Bear's Ye Olde Barbershoppe
Strop: Tony Miller Heirloom tri-strop (3x25)
Razor: Josh Earl custom 8/8 - Ebony scales
ASB: Caswell-Massey No. Six

Slow, comfortable shave. I have the day off.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Custom by Bill w Simpson knot
Razor: Mappin & Webb, Trustworthy
Soap: La Toja
AS: Proraso
Result: Very, very clean
Two days stubble lawned down by this English brute . I also did a full shave on our boy (he has learned to use a DE and I´ve done touch ups before, but this was the first full cut throat shave ). Now we´re two very happy campers about our shaves.
