Pre-Shave: Hot shower Brush: 22mm New Forest Silvertip Badger Razor: 13/16" DOVO #300 "Waffen Schmied", Full Hollow Ground, Round Point Strop: 20/45/45 (Neil Miller Linen / Imperial Horsehide leather / Imperial Cordovan leather) Überlather: eShave "Almond" Shave Creme + Mama Bear's "Almond" Shave Soap + Glycerin Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose, no alcohol) Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer After Shave Splash: Proraso AS After Shave Balm: eShave "Almond" ASB Cologne: Acca Kappa "1869" EdT Results: I think I am hopeless (and hate to admit it), but I have a distinct feeling that I am reaaaaaaaaly beginning to become an almond addict...The eShave/Mama Bear Almond scent, not to mention the lather produced by the combination, was so good that I spent literally 15 minutes playing and smelling the darn thing . It finally hit me: at some point, I will have to stop, pick up the blade and run it across my face. Then again, who said that shaving should be done within a specified period of time? After all, isn't this when time comes to a complete stand still for us to enjoy a solitary zen moment :thinking:? I am stopping to smell the Roses, or in this case, the almonds :p. Anyhoo...as soon as I held the DOVO in my hands, the entire shave scenario flashed before my eyes (kinda like Tom Cruise in the "Last Samurai")...I knew exactly how this was going to play out. It was going to be a phenomenal shave. And it was:y.

For some Swedish steel ... I wanted to try some American blades and Robert wanted to try some Swedes, so now I've got two nice shavers (Genco Honor + this one).
Very nice SOTD Robert! Love almond too, have you tried the calssics (Cella and P160)? Not so refined almond but tons of it :D
Another excellent shave with The Hamburg Ring I picked up from Rune!
