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!

Results: As some of you guys may know, back in February I wrecked my foot and suffered 25 fractures in it. My surgeons told me that I would never be able to run again. Well, yesterday I stepped up on my treadmill. Six kilometers later, my surgeons were proven wrong What a great feeling to get a proper run in! I'll be pacing myself, but now my lost goals seem achievable once again. A celebratory shave today completes my perfect weekend

Its been 3 or 4 days since my last shave so I decided the recently touched-up W&B might be a suitable option.
And what a great selection it was. 3 slow passes and I'm smoooooth as a catfish's belly
This was an afternoon shave and my youngest son Elvis was hangin' out with me for this one.
He loves sampling the aftershaves.

Have a great week gentlemen and thanks for the great posts and pics

Wow. I can't imagine the pain involved in getting back to where you are. Congrats!!

It does give it an extra measure of sweetness to prove the doctors wrong in cases like this.
