Max, well done sir. Again.
Great kit and pics guys, cannot wait for the themed week!

PS. I almost feel like re-posting my last SOTD picture since that Clauss left me stubble free until now... and because I really liked it and I won't get to post another until I have some hair to shave.

Result: Uberclean
Wow, changed the setup in the last minute and boy am I glad for that, this was a very nice shave

[Arrowhead]

Whoa, very nice so far chaps! Love the new razor, Max.

Today's is a double test shave:



New Forest 2211 silvertip; Ern 1360; G Myers in ripple ash; Nanny's sandalwood soft soap; Musgo Real Classic aftershave.

The Myers is en route to a new owner. Officially it's just in for honing, but I'll be tightening it up a little and giving the scales a thin coat of oil so that it's looking its best. Nice to see this one again, I'm still pleased with it.

Razor: Bengall Full Concave 11/16

I wanted a special shave for this special occasion, and so went with the latest addition to my collection. I just gave the Bengall the finishing touch today with 10 laps on the Chrome Oxide.

Have a great week boys, thanks for all the posts and pics.

On a Bay Rum adventure last night, eh, LOL? Absolutely stunning "humpback blade" Max. As Jeff (mvcrash) eluded to, this is not helping my RAD.

PS: Can't wait for the theme. It's going to be fun. it always is.

Fonti,
Yaaahoooo! Cade galore and overload. I love it. Beautiful TI too

today the last razor, I got rescaled by Buddel last week.

Tom,
Between you and Max, the rest of us don't stand a chance, LOL. Well done with a beautiful blade. I enjoyed the "Buddel Show" very much, but feel sad that it's kinda over.

Soap: Proraso
Razor: Mastro Livi 8/8 Bergam Damascus in Mammoth Ivory Scales
soundtrack: Anne-Sophie Mutter: Vivaldi - The Four Seasons

Otto,
What a nice combination. A fabulous Italian blade (and lather) dancing to the tune of Vivaldi (with a performance from none other than one of the great violin virtousosos).

...I won't get to post another until I have some hair to shave.

We need to get you a creme that accelerates hair growth, LOL. It must be torture to wait.

Razor: C V Heljestrand B K 42, in ivory scales

Stunning razor Mikael. Is she a wedge like her older sister #41? How big is she?

G Myers in ripple ash. The Myers is en route to a new owner. Officially it's just in for honing, but I'll be tightening it up a little and giving the scales a thin coat of oil so that it's looking its best. Nice to see this one again, I'm still pleased with it.

Andy,
Beautiful setup and blades, but that Myers in particular is one gorgeous blade. Love the etching. Too bad it's not yours to keep.

Razor: Bengall Full Concave 11/16

Congratulations Grant. Great choice for your millennial post. Wonderful setup and blade too.

Gentleman, you are re-establishing my RAD.

PS: I guess we have two Renes now (the other being nicknbleeding) and we have to be careful when distinguishing you two, LOL.

That is one beautiful TI

Razor: Filarmonica DT#14

Paul,
I love that Fili. Thank you...You inspired me to shave with my #14 tomorrow. I just touched up the one Matt (aka, thewatermark) had borrowed and she is as sharp as a tack.

Dome and face are smoother than a catfish's belly!

Very nice. I think you and Mark (blugill) take the trophy when it comes to your descriptives, LOL

I took this Philadelph for a 24hr BBS shave.
Razor - Alex Jaques

Beautiful AJ Mike and nice shave.

RAZOR: Genco "Easy Aces"
UBERLATHER: Edwin Jagger " Sea Buckhorn" and Goorej shave cream

Finally got my Genco put back together after restoring it. This uber combo is one of the best ones I had used. The Goorej is a great cream because it has Lanolin properties

beautiful job on the Genco Matt. Btw: the Godrej shave cremes are fantastic and they are so cheap. Worth their weight in gold. Congrats
