Prep:Hot Shower, Sandalwood & Vanilla Pre-shave oil
Scuttle:Dirty Bird Custom Double
Brush:TGN Premium Silvertip 22mm
Strop:SRD PIV English Bridle Strop
Cream: CarrieM's “First Frost”
Razor: Henckels 401
After shave: C.O. Bigelow “Mentha” ASB
EDT: Polo Blue
Result: Today is day 3 in row for triple digit temperatures (couple that with high humidity and it's hard to even breathe) and the perfect opportunity to cool off with the “First Frost” cream and “Mentha” ASB. The Henckels delivered a superb shave and I'm feeling cool as ice. Time to venture out into the “air you can wear”.
Have a grand Wednesday gentlemen!

Razor: Le Grelot Brush: Simpson Chubby 2 Superlather: Cade Strop: Ambrose Horsehide ASB: Cade EdT: Annick Goutal Vetiver Result: Stupendous! Two passes with an incredibly luxurious Cade superlather and I was left CBS! The Grelot is a very nimble little blade and the ebony scales Max put it in left it a very light, comfortable razor to hold.

Week of July 17 SOTD - Wednesday
Pre-Shave: Hot shower Brush: 24mm Thäter Silvertip Badger (Olive Wood handle) Razor: 6/8" J.R. Torrey Frameback Strop: 35/65 (Torolf linen/Ambrose Horse Hide Clásico leather) Überlather: Institut Karité Shave Creme + Institut Karité Shave Soap + Glycerin Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol) Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Amber AS Cologne: Creed "Original Santal" EdT Results: Some time ago, I had decided to sell this Torrey, but I must confess that I have more of an emotional attachment to her than I had originally thought. Despite the fact that she was misbehaving at times and a PITA on the stones, she's definitely a keeper. I finally found her ideal sweet spot and she has become an exceptional shaver since. Last night, I took her to my leather/CrOx strop for a couple of laps and this morning, her edge was more than ready for action. The Institut Karité uber was a great complement to the Torrey. Together, they performed marvelously. CBS and super smooooooooth for the face and now, I am ready for action.
Have a SPECTACULAR Wednesday guys.

Thanked: 1072Congratulations on such a sweet razor at a good price. She's a good looker, and I like a heavy blade personally.
And thanks for making SOTD such a friendly and hospitable place with all your comments Robert, we all appreciate it.
I like it, that Bengall has a tonne of character.
Cute dog Rene, I'm sure he and your daughter will be best friends for years.
Sounds like that razor shaves as good as it looks, very nice.
Wow sounds nasty. Right now I cant wait for summer though, I'm freezing my butt of down here.
No shave for me tonight, last nights shave was just too good.
Thanks for all the great posts boys.

Thanked: 1185Prep: Hot Shower
Razor: Texas Shumate
Brush: Omega Boar
Cream: C.O. Bigelow
AS: Clubman Bay Rum
Finish: Pinaud Lime Sec, Firehouse Wacky Tacky
Absolutely love this combination of cream, AS, and Finish. Three passes rendered a CBS shave. Didn't really have time for a Hollywood shave this morning but hey, sometimes you gotta stop and smell the roses. In this case they smelled like bay rum and lime
