Did you get strange looks, LOOOL? At least it was with a DE. I wonder what reaction you'd elicit pulling out a straight razor?

I would hate to see what you would name it if he was a bull dog/shih tzu mix (Bull Shit maybe, LOOOOOL)?

Congrats Rene...She finally worked her charm on you, eh? You're just powerless against women, LOOOL. I think you made the right choice buddy.

Fromm 15/16

Rene,
She's a beauty. If I recall, you got this Fromm from the same guy I got my Klopp. She beat your Fili????...Holy Cr*p. This has to be a first. I didn't think anything would beat a Fili.

Thank you Robert. Yes i could not resist the Fromm red head! Bull shit is a good name. Appropriate for some of the stuff i have to put up with.

Yes this was bought from the same guy on ebay. So glad they were not his size of choice.

I have to say it has been a VERY long time since 2 passes left nothing to touch up. Usually i have a little under the chin and jaw line. Ahhhhh!!!!!! Such a great feeling!

Oh yes the bathroom smelled like Farts. Monkey farts that is. Gassy little buggers!

I would love to hear your experiences with yours down the line. I have the tub version and love it. One of the best top 5 cremes out there for sure.

LMAO Robert I'm gone for a weekend and I've turned into Sten again!!!!! No worries bud just pulling your chain!
On the AK, It came out like a gel. Definately did not look like any other creme I have used before. I'm going to try it again with just it to see what it does. I liked the scent it lended to the LT though.

That is too funny Paul...jeez, why the heck do I keep doing this? I was actually thinking "Paul" but for some reason my fingers wrote "Sten". Go figure. Sorry buddy (again). Fixed it (kinda)

soap: Calani Gentleman
brush: Muehle

Tom,
What did Yoda recommend you shave with? Wosty or DE or both?

Love that DT 13. Great blade. BTW: How do you like the Myrsol (emulsion and aftershave)?

This near wedge takes care of business but I treated it like a hollow ground razor and had to splash on Shulton blend Old Spice to cool things down. Splendid shave!

beautiful wedge Mikael...Did she lead to some irritation when you used her as a hollow?? just curious

Glenn,
I do not envy you abut the weather at all buddy. But your shave is fabulously cooooooooool. I spent 5 years of my life in Houston and experienced extreme temperature/humidity. Weather you can wear is definitely not for me. Beautiful shot btw.

Bill,
Stupendous sounds about right. The LG is a true beauty (great find). I remember the time when you were not too crazy about Cade. I am glad that the uber is working out better for you. It is great stuff

Make sure "Little Shit" has enough water and shade (as if though you don't have enough to worry about, eh?)

And thanks for making SOTD such a friendly and hospitable place with all your comments Robert, we all appreciate it.

Grant,
Thank you for the kind words mate. The pleasure is all mine

Ahhhh...what an excellent shave with a nice piece of steel Sten. Congrats on pushing the envelope of technique.

That JC is indeed a beautiful razor and if the performance is as good as she looks, well...then "she's all that she can be"

Nathan,
That is today? Wowwww...unbelievable how times have changed. Let's see what the next space mission will be in store for mankind. Great razor choice btw. Very fitting

A day late...

A nice smooth shave with the Blackstar

And Today...

Prep: hot shower and lingering lather
Soap: Fitjar Fjellheim
Brush: Co.conk bristle
Razor: recently refreshed Dovo C-Mon Blackie
Post: Which Hazel later to be touched up with Muskol to keep the Mosquitoes at bay



The touch up on the hones really has improved the shave, my appreciation of this razor has been rekindled (being my first blade I imagine all of my minor mistakes on the strop had affected the edge) as the shave was great this morning
The Fjellheim scent is subtle... I think it will need a couple more shaves before I make up my mind on it. It is not unpleasant just not strong (probably a good thing) and doesn't immediately register like the Lighthouse bay rum. Great lather and cushion as expected.

Enjoy the rest of the day! I hope to find time to peruse the rest of today's and yesterdays SOTD posts.
