Just checking in fellas. I haven't shaved since Thursday of last week (I didn't post it, but I got a nasty slice on the chin whilst trying a new angle....won't try that again), but I'm looking forward to tomorrows shave. Excellent shaves to start the week, keep them coming!

Sorry to hear about the cut, Glenn, but I'm sure you'll come back in style! Originally Posted by sharp

Good Morning Gentlemen
I hope you all had a good weekend
Today
Prep: Green tea with Orange, then Shower
Strop: SRD Premium 1 Leather, 30,70.
Brush: Muhle Pure Badger
Soap: Proraso
Razor: Dovo 6/8" Pearlex
Finish: Allume Di Rocca Naturale
EDC: Jo Malone 154 Cologne
Temperatures had started to drop slightly, but we were back up to 44˚C yesterday, hopefully it will cool off a bit soon.
It's great for drying off the razor, sadly the lather dries quickly too.
Anyway, good shave and great start to the day this morning.
Have a Great Week.

Wow another ten minute weekend, they seem to come and go quicker all the time. A single pass shave was good enough, back to the salt mine I go.The older I get, the better I was

Flaschner 7/8 | Semogue 2010 LE #66 | Bomb Almond Sapone | Tade Alum | Thayers Lavender | Sabon | Sigilli Athunis
Result: Two new products broke into the rotation today. The razor comes from Hungary, where I'd heard great things about Master Flaschner. It lived up to its hype! It's a nice, big blade with a great feel in the hand. This 7/8 actually measures in at 29/32, yet it feels comfortable and nimble in the hand. I honed it this weekend on my Chosera 1-5-10 and then finished it using my Oozuku Suita running through a progression of botan, tenjou, koma and tomonagura slurries (light) before finishing with 100 laps of water only. It took on a phenomenally sharp and butter smooth edge. The other newbie is a test sample of AlRaz's latest experiment in italian style hard soaps. His Almond Sapone has a consistency similar to that of Proraso in the bowl. My first crack at bowl lathering did not go as well as I'd hoped. It was simply very difficult to load enough soap from the small sample container. So, I switched to face lathering, and the lather built wonderfully on my face. The scent was intoxicatingly sweet almond. The lather felt great, so I tackled my weekend's growth of hair. The sap one performed very well. Cushion was not as good as other Bomb products, but the slickness was so intense that I had a hard time stretching my skin in places! After two passes, I was left sticky smooth... I wrapped it all up with some known quantities, including the beautiful Sigilli Athunis vetiver. What a way to start the week!!!He saw a lawyer killing a viper on a dunghill hard by his own stable; And the Devil smiled, for it put him in mind of Cain and his brother Abel.

Strop: Osgar Vintage Shell HorseA great start already to the SOTD week gentlemen, keep 'em coming.
Brush: Silvertip Badger in Cocobolo
Cream: Al's Bomb: Frankincense, Myrrh & Vetiver
Razor: Wade & Butcher "For Barbers Only" 7/8
Astringent: Thayer's Original
Balm: C.O. Bigelow Mentha
A/S: Wahl Bay Rum
I had the W&B ready to go last night but never ended up having a shave, and tonight it was up against a substantial 4 days of growth. The recently touched-up razor wiped it away with no problem at all.
What a fantastic shave. It's great to feel a little more human again.
