No shave for me today. Beautiful equipment on display today gentlemen!

Thanks for the Kind words Robert.

Jeff, Rene, Grant & all of the Dads out there, I hope you had a great father's day as well.

Rene, good luck on stopping the RAD. It got me thinking, maybe we should set up a large scale razor swap in the SOTD. It would be pretty cool to see our own razors in someone else's SOTD.

Good luck Bill, I hope things work out exceedingly well for you my friend!

Keep the great posts coming Men!

Now that I have looked at it closely I have determined it is not a cut but a piece of meat missing from my chin!!! wow is that sharp!! Well done SRD!!!!!! LMAO. It came off in one little pass. oops

I have no fear using this old razor as my Tetanus is up to date.

That's too funny David...She may be old, but I bet she's one heck of a whisker wacker

Before I started posting to SOTD I never thought about twice about my shaves - things either worked or it didn't. It is clear to me now: I like this blade, a lot.

She's definitely a beauty Sten. I also found that as I moved forward in my str8 shaving journey, I tended to like prefer the hollowest razors. But, I do have a few wedges that will compete with the best of them extra hollows too. It's all fun. Enjoy the process of discovery my friend. I can honestly say that it is certainly the best part of wetshaving

Result:other then the blood on my chin it was great...It seems my technique is still needing work as I seem to cut myself more with the razor's honed from the honemeister's then me...

Ouuuch Paul...Sorry about the cut buddy. These Dorkos are known for their keen edges. Heal fast brother. technique will be there when you do (a day or so at most hopefully)

That's on the surface. He's got Vegas covered in bets, LOOOOL. Everyone there knows about you by now, LOOOL...You can't even book a flight to go see Max.

Interesting idea Glenn...Isn't that kind of like becoming a razor pimp? There's only one guy I know who's holds that title and I ain't telling who it is, LOOOOOOL. besides, you just want to get your hands on my Puma, LOOOL. Don't you??

LOL it doesn't hurt at all! It's about 1cmx2mmx.05mm. very shallow but a piece of meat none the less. It bled until i just held the styptic on it for a couple minutes. no scab. just ......gone.

That is a nice blade to be removing bits of your chin with

It looks like I am on the evening shave routine for the next few days, which is a nice way to end a sweaty bug filled day.
No pic as my post shave "treatment" is occupying my attention...
Prep: Hectic grocery store trip ending in a the "t-bones are freezer burnt and we need a fresh protein" call Then dinner followed by a hot shower.
Soap: Fitjar lighthouse bay rum (I really like this Fitjar soap and should try the other scent that is in the box waiting)
Brush: Rooney Badger
Razor: Dovo C-Mon Blackie
Post shave: Witch hazel, Highland Park 1998 and perusing the SOTD

Result: a decent touch up shave with a razor that probably could use a trip to the hones (when they arrive and I learn to use them) as the shave was a bit harsh compared to Sundays shave with the Blackstar. Oh well I'll just have to suck it up and continue with the post shave relaxation

Cheers gents
Have a good evening.
