Mmmm, the "Pipe" Razor:

One Razor to rule them all,
One Razor to find them,
One Razor to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them...

prep: Nice cool shower / OBR Soap / Hair Conditioner on the face / Oil Rub

Strop: Star 'Big Daddy' 3" Chestnut / Balsa CrOx / Felt Diamond 40/40/100

Brush: 22mm Silvertip

Soap: Col. Conk Original w/ Irisch Moos

Razor: Puma 'My Darling' 6/8"

AS: Alum Rub / Tend Skin / Palomba Picasso Minotaure

EDT: Jovan Musk Oil / Avon Signature

Result: Easy going Sunday Late Morning Shave. The PUMA always delivers. Once around the block on the paddles, 100 on the leather, and this baby glides the whiskers away. Combining Conk and Moos made for a smooth, silky lather that would last a week. I swear, you could use it as a foundation to build a house on. An excellent DFS Shave this morning, very little razor burn or irritation.

Happy Shaves!!!!

A good start of a beautiful day. It’s already almost 18C / 64F outside
so I’ll get started making Sunday brunch, which I’m going to enjoy outside on my deck.
Pancakes, eggs and bacon with a bear-sized puddle of Canadian maple syrup on top.

Have a wonderful week..

Mmmmmmmmm. Bacon

Sunday Morning:

PREP: Proraso pre/post
BOWL: DirtyBird scuttle
SOAP: MdC
BRUSH: Vie-Long Zurito
RAZOR: Robert Williams Custom 10/8 w/ Girafe bone scales
ASB: Proraso pre/post
AS: homade Lavender/Patchouli/Cloves
EDT: MdC Lavande

RESULT: Received her Friday and the result was excellent considering that it is my first time with a blade that is over 8/8. The cheeks and chin no problem, under the nose all good but for the neck it needed a bit of hand adjustement. I got a really great shave from her, shes big but with some minor adjustements she deliver awesome shave. IT was smooth and cant wait for another one!!!!

GREAT WEEK TO ALL!!



is another!!!


Cheers
Dominic

Sunday Night

Razor: Seehund 1015

Brush: Vulfix 2235

Cream: Trumpers Limes

Post: Alum, Crabtree & Evelyn West Indian Limes

Its been a good day. In June I injured my hamstring while doing a flashy kick in martial arts and having taken things easy it now feels as though its pretty much healed, so I got out on the bike with my local cycling club and did a short (30 mile) ride and tonight its feeling fine. We stopped half way at a café and I had a coffee and slice of Key Lime pie; so todays SOTD carries on that theme.

It's pretty slim compared to my Sheffields and all my others come to think of it..
Just snapped a few pics..



As you can see it's an 1/8" thick and 3/8" high, and yes she took a lovely smooth edge - in fact the balm isn't really needed just a wipe off with a hot flannel and a splash of cold water.

Just wondering what to hone next lol
