Here is my smallest boy, Balazs (11) and his puppy Pamacs (Brush) just don't know about this:

Béla,
Your son Balazs is so precious my friend. He and Pamacs seem to have developed a very strong bond together. I don't know why they don't honor fathers in Hungary, but buddy, in this forum you deserve one of the highest praises a father can get. So, my hat's off to you (and all the fathers in this forum, and the Hungarian forum, and the Spanish forum, and...) and wish you a very HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

What can I say about this shave. I could have stopped after one pass, certainly two. I was enjoying myself so I did three. So nice!!!

What a perfect (and fitting) choice Jeff. I love that blade. Your photo is perfectly fine, but since you are worried about it, I took the liberty of borrowing a couple of shots of your blade from Max' site and posting it here (Max: hope you don't mind brother)

+1. I like this idea

What an "Imperial" shave. Sure enough fit for a King (minus the nick of course, LOL). Well done Kalerolf

I do know all too well Mikael and thank you for the kind words my friend

Nice, very nice.

I bet it was David...Awesome gear

OK, I posted this in the wrong SOTD this morning so I'll try it in the right one now.

Being Fathers day I took a bit more time than usual and it was great.

Prep: Hot shower with hot towel to follow.
Razor: Waterville 11/16 Barbers Notch. Just touched up on a Thuri (this stone is new to me )
Brush: Edwin Jagger Best Badger
Soap: Once again Cella
Scuttle: Flower pot scuttle filled with boiling water from tea pot.
After Shave Balm: Nivea (that's all I ever use)
After Shave: Aqua Velva Ice Blue.
Shave was a 4 pass number and came out fantasic. BBS and irritation free.

It was a slow start followed by an afternoon of activity so the shave waited until late afternoon...

Prep: Nice hot shower and a lingering lather
Soap: Fitjar lighthouse bay rum
Brush: Rooney
Razor: Dovo Blackstar
Post: A little to relaxed shaving today so the styptic pencil had to make a quick round, then witch hazel

Post shave beverage: G&T

That's what it's all about. Everyday should be a "father's day" like shave

Glenn,
As a father, that was your prerogative

No need to apologize Rum. Even though you may think this is a predictable shave, it is always a pleasure seeing or reading your SOTD. Well done, as expected

or stretching it a few days would be even better, imo. Great SOTD

No shave for me tonight. Just feeling tired and lazy.

Thank you Grant...as a father, you deserve a lazy day with no shave
