Awesome pics and kits as usual gentlemen. Its always a pleasure to look through the SOTD thread, and hopefully I will be back on the bandwagon soon as work is finally giving me some breathing room.

Robert with the DE!!! Wow. I really want to give the Eucris a try next. I love the look of that black bowl and the scent sounds intriguing. Is it more potent than the Spanish Fig & Nutmeg? I broke that soap out today and I could hardly smell it. Darn Nose If anyone has been interested in trying the Spanish Fig & Nutmeg soap I'd be up for a trade. I think my damaged olfactory senses just don't pick this one up like they should. The cologne is great though.
I definitely get better shaves when I wait an extra day between them. This is my 3rd day straight with my straights and I had some irritation. Maybe I need to run the Bismarck over the coticule again. Nothing terrible, but not the smooth experience I'm used to with my red Bismarck.

Nice to see some of your straight guys like Robert giving a DE shave now and again, adds a nice bit of variety to the show, meaning maybe some of us DE guys may have to step up to the plate and give the old straight edge a go. great looking straights on show today, and WOW! there's a custom job over on the restorations that's blown my mind, here's the link for those who missed it.

Wednesday afternoon
Pre-Shave: A cold shower Brush: Vulfix 38mm!!, Super Badger Razor:Charlie Lewis, 8/8" Custom. Mammoth Ivory scales Strop: Kanayama #90000, tri-strop Soap/Cream: Domenico Caraceni 1913 shaving cream Scuttle:Schwarzweisskeramik, Large White Astringent: Thayers Medicated SuperHazel EdT: Domenico Caraceni 1913 Results: A very fine shave indeed. The DC is such an awesome cream. The scent is perhaps a little too much for summer time, but the performance is so good that I frankly don't care

AMAZING!!!
Hey Tim,
The Eucris is a great scent...different than the Spanish Fig/Nutmeg, which I equally love. Give the senses some time to recover. it's a worthwhile wait.
PS: Great Bismarck and shave...I am sure that taking the edge back to the stone will bring her back to life
Hehehe...Thanks Jamie. I look forward to you stepping up to that straight plate.
Duuuuuude...Is that a typo or is that brush 38mm???? You da man (that's bigger than my whole face, LOOOOL
Love that CL Birnando...It is a great addition to your wonderful collection
SPECTACULAR show today Dom...Love that custom and I guess we have a new MdC addict in the midst. Now, we certainly need a 24 step program for that too...and yes, I know, I will be the first one to register for that
