Thread: Sun October 9th - Sat October 15th

This is a rare thing for me, but I've used the same straight razor twice in a row. This Charlex lately has been my favorite and I've been reaching for it more than all other razors.

Proraso Aloe Vera & Green Tea shaving soap
Semogue 2 band badger brush
Charlex 60 straight razor
Proraso aftershave splash
444 aftershave balm

Enjoy your coffee with RW (Robert Williams?). It's good to know people in high places, eh, LOL?
Cheers,
Robert

The mall is not so bad. I get some soup from a place I like and then find a place to sit and rest while they shop.

Robert Williams it is and we had two cups of coffee and some fresh bread which was imported from Northern NJ. In between he showed me a few things about removing sanding marks, grease less compounds and polishing compounds. He then worked on a new razor. I'll post all the photo's in the proper forum.

Funny how your favorites just seem to call out to you, isn't it?? I have the same problem with a Puma.

We’ll start the week off with a treasure I call the Pleiades set or Seven Sisters. This un-blemished set belongs in a museum but looks very nice in my shave den thank you. The double smile wedge shave is ultra-smooth. I am happy. Have a nice week.

Mike,
That's a beautiful 7-day set brother. What a nice treasure trove

Amund,
I love the setting of your photos. That bench is just too cool brother. Love it. Great shave and gear too

Naaaah. it's not Max pushing the coffee. I just get into coffee mood when I am on vacation

Thank you D. You are too kind my friend. I always look forward to your shaves (and shots when available)

Like Blix, I thought today was a DE day. After a hot shower I set to with the Futur, 1st pass on 2, 2nd on 3.5 and the 3rd pass and some buffing done on 5. A perfect BBS shave albeit with a couple of minor weepers sorted out by the alum.

Nicely done Nic. Great shot and gear

I also got my first use of my new strop hook!
Man it's hard to believe how smooth and close this big, heavy beast is!

Tom,
It's always a pleasure to see you here on SOTD buddy. Congrats on your new baby. She's gorgeous. I also dig your new strop hook. Very nice touch. Don't get too wet in the TX rain brother.

Blues at an Silbermann-organ is amazing.
As I posted already... Gottfried Silbermann built this organ in 1730!

That sounds amazing. Did you record it on your iPhone. Would love to hear what Blues sounded on an Organ

The wedge is Brazilian Cherry.

ETA Once I get all the glue off of my fingers, I'll see if I can get a better picture.

Jack,
That is a great picture and fabulously done razor.
