Well it seems like Max and I were on the same mindset with the French Vetiver and Henk.

Great job Matt...that SOTD almost looks like a mirror image of Max' too, LOOOOL. Nice job on the scales.

Hey Esse,
Sounds like a great gear (minus brush?). As for travel brushes, I heard that the Simpson Wee Scott is a stunner (small but effective).

Results: FANTASTIC! Got this beauty in the mail on Friday and honed her up yesterday on the Chosera/Shaptons Amund (Blix) generously lent me, thanks buddy! She took an marvellous edge, and gave me a excellent, smooth and comfortable shave

Congrats Rune...You are on a marvelous buying binge and nothing shabby. This Revisor is no exception. Your collection is soon going to be a force to reckon with my friend. Well done and Kudos to Amund, coming through with the stones. Great job on the honing buddy

Wow, what a lazy day, I slept late and decided to go straight to PT before I was overcome by laziness.

Sounds like a fantastic start to an otherwise "lazy" day (which Sundays are supposed to be). Congrats on a great shave and run GI

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.

Tim,
That sounds like a much deserved break for both you and the wife. Who's going to take care of the kids or are they going with?

Looking forward (hopefully) to seeing some of your colonial SOTDs. Williamsburg is a terrific getaway too. Enjoy your time buddy

Hey Nic,
You may be out of sight, but NEVER out of mind. Enjoy your vacation and looking forward to see you pop your head in once in awhile and say hi

A great Sunday Afternoon shave. This is my second try with the Tabac. I have got to say I love it.

Great restore Mike and +1 on Tabac...What's there not to like. Wonderful all the way to its core

Always get a great shave from my Geneva blades and today was no exception. The Pre de Provence is one of my favorite soaps...easy to build lather which is always thick and feels great on the face. Another pricey soap but definitely worth it.

Great choices Nathan...I also love Pre de Provence SS (and creme). Fabulous stuff indeed.

May your tomorrow be even better than today buddy

Mike,
Any blade that is named after a Cat is bound to be great. She's a beauty
