Thread: Sun June 19th - Sat June 25th

Prep: Hot Water Face Wash, Baby Oil Gel
Razor: C.V. Heljestrand Mk 4
Brush: Semogue 2000
Cream: C.O. Bigelow
AS: Witch Hazel, Nivea ASB
Finish: Pierre Cardin, DAX High and Tight

Great shave! This razor is just amazing, it just seems to get sharper with use. Only two passes and actually the second pass was kind of academic except for cleaning up the usual trouble spots. I don't know how this shave could have been any better this morning, top notch for sure!

Sorry to hear the foot isnt going so well mate. Hope you heal up soon

Great shots this week. Thank you all for your fine contributions to this great little corner of the interwebs

Sorry about the foot. I learned about skate boarding for middle age men by leaving a moon size bruise on my behind one day. Last time I did anything like that.

I love that razor!!!!!

Rene,
A heartfelt happy 78th Birthday to your dad my friend. You and him must have been very close. He will always live in your memories and as such has achieved the immortal status most of crave for after our passing. Nice shave to commemorate and dedicate this moment of your life to your dad

Thanks Robert

Rene, +1 on Roberts comments

Bjørnar, if this razor is one of the cheap damascus from ebay (those that Rene and Robert have been talking about) then ...I want one!

hehehe, that was funny
I've never tried the cheap ebay razors, but if they shave anything like this one, count me in

Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Strop: Illinois 835
Brush:Custom Cocobolo Silvertip Badger
Soap: Proraso
Razor: ERN Crown & Sword 6/8
Balm: C.O. Bigelow Menta
A/S: Old Spice
I received a phone call today asking me to come in for a job interview in 2 hours. So I finished what I was doing (razor work) and went for a shower and shave. Ended up being a little pushed for time and only doing 2 passes, throwing my gear on the table, taking a photo and rushing out the door for the interview.
Result: Very smooth, not quite BBS but very presentable.
I love the menthol balm, SO Coooool. It's just what I've been looking for (thanks Glenn)
So many great posts and pics this week, thank you gentlemen.

You know you are a true SOTD brother, when you still have time for a shot before you have to run out
