Prep: 2 mile run, Hot Shower, Baby Oil Gel
Dome Razor: 1910 Gem Lather Catcher
Face Razor: Lecran Cutlery Extra Hollow Ground
Brush: Omega Boar
Soap: VDH Deluxe
AS: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Finish: English Leather Cologne

Wow, what a lazy day, I slept late and decided to go straight to PT before I was overcome by laziness. The run was better than average as I managed to consistently accelerate throughout the run without having a heart attack or anything. The Lecran seems much better since the touch up hone. Result, high quality manscaping, dome and face CBS

Go get them brother...I am sure you will be stellar in your with the congregation.

Yeah I was surprised as well that I had no irritation. During my first pass I was wondering if I need to hit the coticule again, but it ended well. Had a great day in Asheboro.

The wife has surprised me with a trip to Williamsburg, VA tomorrow. The 2 of us are going to colonial Williamsburg and to Busch Gardens. It's the first time we've done anything without the 5 kids in almost 2 years. I'm definitely looking forward to a couple days away. Hopefully I can post a "colonial SOTD" somehow.

I must say that I was pleasantly stunned at the keenness and smoothness of her edge. She is no doubt a total 10 all across. Zero irritation all the way. It's like this steel was made specifically for this face. One of the best shaves of my life.

Great work Rene, and supernice pic and shave Robert, thanks for sharing

Hot Shower with OBR+Sweet Orange Soap + Oil Rub

Wester-Stone Damascas 5/8 1917 vintage

WD 24mm Pure Badger

Tabac Original Shave Soap

Paloma Picasso ASB

Vintage Jovan Musk Oil

Star 3" Wool/Leather 50/100

A great Sunday Afternoon shave. This is my second try with the Tabac. I have got to say I love it. The Paloma Picasso Balm was honey to my face. My wife loves the scent (hehehe, ya!!). This Wester is another rescue of mine, and it is a very, very good shaver. A little unforgiving, but very rewarding when used nicely. Finish up with some vintage Musk Oil, and I'm good to go for the evening!!

Enjoy the rest of your weekends folks, and happy shaving!

Mike
