Thread: Sun September 4th - Sat September 10th

Good Morning Everyone, Tuesdays Shave.

Prep: Shower
Strop: SRD Premium 1 Leather, 30, 70.
Brush: Semogue 2030, badger
Soap: Cella, Crema Sapone
Razor: Dovo Master's, Grenadille Scales.
Finish: Allume Di Rocca Naturale
AS: Old Spice Lagoon.

I like the Cella, which is a good thing as I have the 1Kg block in my fridge. I'm also getting on quite well with the Semogue brush, just one small thing. I leave it soaking in HOT water from my hot and cold drinking water dispenser. The metal handle gets uncomfortably hot to hold, strangely the temperature feels fine on my face.

Great Shave, Enjoy Your Day

Late post from this morning as I got called in but still managed a great 2 pass shave with 3 days growth!

Razor: JR Torrey 6/8 ~ FRENCH point ~ 3/4 hollow
Strop: Tony Miller Tri-Strop
Brush: Franks Finest Badger
Soap: Speick
~SRD scuttle~
After Shave: Floids!

Outstanding Performance Gents.

I also like to wish our Australian father's a very happy (and belated) Father's Day

My top tip is: Don't look on it as as depriving yourself and making a sacrifice, if you forever see it as a forbidden pleasure then sooner or later temptation will get the better of you, instead treat it as a positive thing, regaining health, wealth and control.

Nic,
That's determination my friend. Well done

Rumor has it that those Seehunds are wicked shavers

Hey Mike,
That's one beautifully restored and polished W&B...Every time I see this one, it brings a huge smile on my face. I can't get over those scales. Very nice

Monroe,
So, now that you're not shaving for the day, you're off collecting donations through PayPal, LOOOOOL? Wait a second...I know why. You're trying to fund your SRP Thäter brush, LOL

Glenn,
I really love those red M3 scales. They are very classy. The blade is stunning (art & science at work)

Bill,
It's nice to remember why we started this whole ritual in the first place. Well done buddy. Hope you had a great time with your friend.

Best days work you can ever do.

Kudos for doing it again EA.
