I had 2 days growth, as I had travelled overnight on Sunday and on arrival went straight to work from the airport. I had been shaving with a DE whilst away and was looking forward to a straight shave. I wasn't disappointed, good shave.
I have also added a picture of some aftershave balm, I saw in a supermarket in Cyprus.
Have a really great day gentlemen.

Retored WB Special in Birdseye Maple
WB Special 6/8-Castle Forbes Lavender/TOBS Gentleman's Cream-Ey Custom 24MM Silvertip
DFS today. Just finished pinning this last night after work and ran it through the hones. Norton 1/4/8 then the Naniwa 12K followed by CrOx Balsa and 0.25Micron diamond balsa. With the Uber today it just glided through the whisker forest this morning. Real nice razor and a great restore from the crap on it when I got it. It now sits in rotation ready for the next time it's called upon!!!
Have a great Tues all!"We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm."

Tuesday morning
I had the day to myself, so I took my time in the shave cave today
Pre-Shave: Shower Brush: Plisson HMW #16 Razor: Filarmonica #13 Doble Temple Strop: Kanayama #90000, tri strop Soap/Cream: Al's shaving cream, Saigon Astringent: Alum After shave Balm: Al's ASB, Saigon EdT: Penhaligon's Sartorial Results: This was the very first Filarmonica I bought. It still delivers the goods. A fantastic and lasting edge on this little Spaniard Al's shaving cream is good stuff, the Sartorial is fast becoming a favorite scent around here All in all, a very nice and relaxing shave!

Good afternoon Gents!
Shave prep: Summer rain
Brush: Haryali badger
Soap: Crabtree & Evelyn Nomad
Razor: Wade & Butcher, 5/8 spike
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: Oriental Spice
Notes: Got surprised by a good shower of rain on my way home from work, it left my face nice and warm and wet, so I decided to let that be my beard prep. Slow, comfortable 3-pass BBS, great shave. This razor is smooth, as long as you don't let the spike bit you
Have a great afternoon guys!

Happy Birthday "Blue"
Jamie,
I am certain he loved that, but probably couldn't care less for the shave (which was lovely btw), LOOOOL
B-U-T-FUL W&B Béla
Konstantinos,
I especially loved your SOTD today. Very nice and descriptive. Congrats on adding that beautiful Helje to the mix and yes, they are amazing shavers. Take her back to the stones and you will be rewarded. The IK is a wonderful soap, but I agree, not very forgiving when the water:soap ratio if a bit off. Incredibly moisturizing and thick when right.
PS: I, personally, would really enjoy reading about your "spicy" moments in Budapest...Sounds very intriguing and mysterious (maybe start a separate thread?)
Mikael,
Beautiful Cape and great shave. Congrats on solving the water issue. Hopefully, it won't cause you to forget how you used to do it when you return home
Great gear King...Love the photo. Speaks volumes about the quality. That's an equally lovely brush. Well done
Great gear Bill...but that Cordovan strop ain't a cheapie brother, LOOOOL.
Michael,
That is one beautiful blade...Wowwwww.
Super duper as always Blueman
Grant,
This POC is a stunner...Great choice. Sorry about the edge though, but I am sure she's no match for your skills and stones
She's a beauty too GI...thanks for sharing that bit of history about her
Rene,
MWF produces an equally amazing lather when whipped alone. It's that good.
T.,
Good job on this hurried shave brother
Welcome back EA. Hope you had a great time visiting with your daughter. Congrats on the Dovo. She's beautiful
Great job on this beauty Paul. Love the scales.
I totally agree Birnando. The DT13 sure is a special one.
Sten,
What a nice surprise. I love being rained on (especially during winter hikes for me). Nice razor and shave too.
LOOOOOOL. +1. it's all relative

Week of August 7 SOTD - Tuesday
Surprise, Surprise
Pre-Shave: Hot shower Brush: 30mm Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger Maxterpiece: 13/16" Wade & Butcher, Shoulderless, Extra Hollow Ground, Spike Point (w/ Silver Twill scales) Strop: 0/0/0 (Neil Miller Linen / Imperial Horsehide leather / Imperial Cordovan leather) Überlather: James Bronnley "Gentleman's" Shave Creme + Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap + Glycerin Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol) Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer After Shave Splash: James Bronnley "Gentleman's" AS After Shave Balm: James Bronnley "Gentleman's" ASB Cologne: James Bronnley "Gentleman's" EdT Results: What a shave this AM. I won this beautiful W&B on eBay and asked Max to rescale her in the gorgeous "Silver Twill" clothes that you see here (Thanks maestro ). She's in immaculate condition (well, as far as these vintage ones go anyway ). Max also put on a very mean edge on her...I coupled this beauty with my Simpson's brush and a concoction of James Bronnley SC and MWF SS for some ultra-luxurious lather and prep. The W&B wiped the 24 hr growth, which lately seems to be growing faster than normal, effortlessly and with absolute grace and elegance.
Have a SPECTACULAR Tuesday gentlemen.
