Sun August 07th - Sat August 13th

.

Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W

Razor: J.A. Henckels Twinworks 415

Brush: Thäter 2 band

Soap: Cyril R Salter - French Vetiver

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel

AS: Aqua Velva

EDC: Echo - Davidoff

Summary: Today I was fortunate enough to test a Thäter 2 band. I'm not going and reveal to much but let me tell you, this brush has an outstanding performance and is a dream to use. 2 Thumbs up!. I went for some French Vetiver, a cooling Aqua Velva and a spritz of Echo to seal it all. Off course the shave would not have been complete without the Henckels 415.

Looking forward to the new SOTD's for this upcoming week. Keep it up gents.

I wish you all the finest of weeks Gentlemen:)

Prep: Bath
Brush: SOC
Razor: Gong
Soap: Nannys French Lavender
AS: Proraso
Etd: Geo F Trumper, Eucris
Strop: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean :D
Best shaves in London! And Nannys soap excelled in this harsh London water, I don't know if I just got lucky (very possible), the bath or that I actually did something right? It's thicker (than usual for her soaps, I would say), slick and very nice for my skin. Spot on re scent for me as well: strong and spicy lavender. This soap actually worked better for me than MdC in this hard water :D
