Thread: Sun October 23rd - Sat October 29th

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: Simpson Chubby 1

Razor: Revisor 6/8

Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller Linen/English Bridle

Soap: Monsavon

After shave: Floïd Blue

Results: My mother in law returned from a trip to Paris Thursday and she brought with her two tubs of Monsavon soap and a tube of Williams cream Gave the Monsavon a try today, not bad, not bad at all. Nice subtle scent, and pretty nice and slick lather, not quite as much cushion as I like, but that might as well be my fault. The Revisor is a magnificent shaver, I could probably get a nice shave of it with just water (not that I'm going to try) A very very nice DFS +, smooth and comfortable.

Lazy Sunday shave after not shaving for three days.

Dirty Bird Scuttle
Custom Badger
Nancy Boy Signature Series Shave Cream
A Barrett and son 63&64 Piccadilly, 6/8,full hollow

Razorock aluminum
Stephan's Lilac A.S
Vaseline for men.

I had not shaved for several days. I just got this razor so yesterday I ran it over the Norton Stones then the 12K Naniwa, and the .15 diamond, Crox and did the stropping. I was very surprised at how fast the edge starting popping hair. I was able to cut arm hair halfway up the hair shaft so I went to the rest of the progression. I was very happy with the shave today. Removed three days of growth, just gliding over the skin. After two passes I was very smooth but was enjoying myself so I did a third.

Watching the Jet game. Enjoy your day!!

Monsavon is a good french savon. Very easy to find in France and in Andorra where I live and it's very cheap. I use it very often and I don't have problems with my SR. Give it another chance.

I will for sure, first impression I find it very nice, I was just missing a little bit cushion, but this is probably caused by me not getting the right product/water ratio at first try.

Not mine.

I do however have a Devin Thomas Damascus blank that eventually will turn out to become mine. When, that's the million dollar question.

For anyone that missed the new SOTD themed thread.

Newt week will be 'Halloween' SOTD theme of the week..
