His Royal Highness 34C delivered one of his countless BBS-s in no time at all - as a matter of fact, the shave was so quick & smooth & effortless, I almost shaved the second time just to be able to savor this "shaving feeling" once again!

Cheers Gents - the pics must flow - keep`em coming because they`re just GREAT

W&B 6/8-RazoRock Artisan Soap/OBS Jermyn Street Cream/4 Gtts Glycerin-TOBS Jermyn Street ASB-CCW of the Day, Kimber Covert Pro

Couldn't decide which pick so I used both. After such a great SOTD why not? The Uber I used today was just creamy whipped cream!!! What an Uber! This was after a 3 pass shave and had plenty of silky lather left over. The W&B was such a light touch on the face gliding through the forest making a soft sticky face!!! All SOTD should be this good! Decided to carry the Kimber Covert Pro today. Great pistol. Have a great safe Thurs all!!!

Béla,
A superb shave with some great gear. That Iwasaki is a heck of a great shaver and L'Occitane Cade is just amazing. How did the synthetic Muhle perform?

Tom,
Excellent shave my friend, but how many brushes do you need to use per shave, LOL?

Thank you buddy. I really appreciate the sentiment. You ain't so bad yourself ;-)

Nothing serious at all though and looks a lot worse than it is. I should be back in the shaving sink on Sunday, hopefully!

Rum,
Glad to hear it was nothing serious brother...Keep it dry, heal fast and I for one, look forward to a spectacular return to SOTD with a spectacular shave on Sunday. This is going to be fun and rewarding

Comments: My new razor. It arrived yesterday. Today is not a working day here in Andorra, and I wanted to use it, but anxiety has made me forget to strop it. I had to stop shaving and I started again. Very good shave anyway.

Hi Angel,
Nice top shelf gear. Congratulations on your new Eagle razor my friend. She's a beauty. But I am surprised that the edge was that uncomfortable without stropping. Make sure she's really shave ready...If the edge is truly shave ready, she should still deliver an excellent shave even without stropping (imo). How do you like the TOBS 74 AS? Enjoy the day off my friend

Lovely soap, the mineral notes are so nice and Fidos brush/knot was perfect!

Mikael,
+1 on the La Toja soap. It is truly magnificent (scent is amazing too). Love the LG and NF brush too. Did Peter make the handles or is that an "after market" job?

Comments: |I didn't think about a DE shave today, but finally I've chosen the Mühle R101, lighter than the R41, better to use a razor as this because the weight it's not an advantage for such as agressive head. Because the agresiveness and the aspect of the comb, that seems the teeth of a shark, I called it "Shark's Mouth". More "romantic" than call it R101. Supermentholated shave because of the Omega soap and the Osage Rub, the fresher shave in Spain

Nice razor José...I guess it's better to call it a Shark's Mouth than a Piranha, LOOOL.

Fantastic shave Paul. Great Uber it sounds like and a great W&B

Razor:Mulcuto Gold 4/8
Brush:Jade and brass handled boar
Cream:Arko Regular
AS:Thayers Lavender and Brut Attitude
Result:Only needed one pass yet again to remain BBS. I was a little heavy handed a couple of times with the 4/8 causing some irritation on my neck. Other than that, great shave and look forward to tomorrow.

A Special Anniversary Shave

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 26mm Rudy Vey Custom w/ TGN Grade A Silvertip Badger (Kingwood handle)

Razor: 11/16" J.R. Torrey, Full Hollow Ground, Spike Point

Strop: 35/55/55 (Neil Miller Linen / Imperial Horsehide leather / Imperial Cordovan 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: Floïd Italian Blue AS

Cologne: Acca Kappa "1869" EdC

Results: A "Torrey-fic" shave this AM in honor of my wife for our 4 year anniversary . All this time, I always tell her that she must be nuts for putting up with me for any period of time and I must be the lucky one. She never disagrees with that statement !! She picked the gear for today...The Torrey performed magnificently. Her edge was touched up on the Escher last night with slight slurry and finished on water only. The Acca Kappa can always be counted upon to deliver a consistently terrific lather, anytime, anywhere. As Monroe (aka, JHenry) would put it: "Feeling and smelling great"

As a token of my appreciation of her, I got her a few of the Tintin comic books she's been missing in her collection.

Have an INCREDIBLE Thursday gentlemen. I know I will
