Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W

Soap: Cyril R Salter French Vetiver

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel

AS: Vetiver de Carven

EDT: Vetiver de Carven

Summary: We had another gorgeous hot and sunny day (the last few days of the year) but you can tell it's coming to an end and colder times are ahead of us. I love to use the more earthy scents for those colder winter days. What's not better than my 'Numero Uno' choice of Vetiver. Anyone that knows me, knows I'm a vetiver junkie . The stronger, earthier and pungent the better. The C2 badger brush is such a dream to use. It's a great brush that not only fits my hands like a glove but also whips up a ton of lather in no time. I also had to test shave a Maxtom so combined with the Vetiver it turned out a total bliss. I couldn't be happier. It was the perfect combo. I got extra approval from both the Missus and Vivi.

We're heading to the end of the month. Wishing everyone a great, super enjoyable new week!

Good Morning Gentlemen,

I had a couple of days away in Abu Dhabi. Arrived back last night and caught up with all of the great SOTD posts. I made do with a feather DE, joy to be back and shave with a straight this morning.

Prep: Shower
Strop: TI Paddle Strop
Brush: Semogue, 2030 Boar
Cream: Proraso
Razor: Dovo Master's
Finish: Allume Di Rocca Narturale
EDC: Jo Malone 154 Cologne

I didn't shave yesterday, face felt like it was covered with sandpaper. Lovely 3 pass shave. Nice and smooth.

Have a Great Week

Thanks, Béla.
You gave us the chance for remembering the revolution in Hungary 1956.
3 years ago in the GDR there was the same situation.
Both revolutions colapsed.


Here you get my personal SOTD:

Good morning Gents!

Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Frank Shaving finest badger
Soap: Crabtree & Evelyn, Sandalwood
Scuttle: Robert Becker large
Razor: Le Hospital Bayle Annonay, 6/8 round point hollow
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: Home made Sandalwood splash
Notes: I just honed the razor this morning, it needed a lick on the hones and it effortlessly plowed through my morning stubble. The sandalwood splash is a new blend of mine, a touch of geranium and coriander supports the wood, and citrus plays in the top. It weighs in at 72% alcohol/144 proof, and has a little glycerin in it for hydration. I often think sandalwood can be too much, but this is just right. Slow comfortable 2-pass shave left me wonderfully BBS. Feeling good this morning!



I wish you all a wonderful week!

I remember that from the news even though I was only 9 at the time. I also remember the infamy of November 4th and the pictures of tanks in the streets. Your country certainly has a rich history of fighting oppressors even at uneven odds. I'll ring a noon bell for Hungary today.
