Bil,
Congratulations on both counts buddy. Nice score and have fun in your new job

Wowww Joe...That is cause for a major celebration. Congratulations to you, your wife and your son and his bride.

NO SHAVE TODAY

It is National Holiday here in Croatia (Assumption of Mary) and I have just spend 4 hours (from 11 AM till 3 PM) in front of the BBQ - and the temperature was arround 30 ºC (86 ºF)

So, instead of a SOTD photo, I give You this one:



HAVE A GREAT MONDAY GENTS

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 25mm Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger (with Bone Handles)

Razor: 6/8" Livi, Full Hollow Ground, Round Point (w/ Amboyna Burl scales)

Strop: 25/45 (Neil Miller Linen / Ambrose Horsehide leather)

Überlather: Acca Kappa "1869" Shave Creme + Acca Kappa "1869" Shave Soap + Glycerin

Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Proraso AS

Cologne: Acca Kappa "1869" EdC

Results: Great shave with the Livi...Stropping with this beauty can be risky as the etchings on the tang have a tendency to catch the leather and scratch it...Not wishing to bring this onto my Imperial strop, I switched to my Ambrose. The Acca Kappa was a perfect match with the Livi. Lovely shave all the way to the core.

Have a BEAUTIFUL Monday gentlemen.

Monday 8/15/11

Geneva Cutlery Pyramid 7N 5/8
Semogue 1305
Tryphon Mentolo ss
Humphrey's WH
Floid Vigoroso a/s
444 a/s balm
Woods of Windsor Edt

Dug out the Mentolo from the back of the closet and stayed with the menthol theme with the Floid and the 444. Two passes and a jawline touch-up and another fine New York steel shave. A slight mishap on my neck to remind me not to get complacent...some styptic pencil took care of that. Now for some coffee and a Padron 3000 maduro. And today will be better than yesterday.
