Thread: SOTD -'HALLOWEEN THEME' - October 30th - November 05th

Pre-Shave: Hot shower + Whole Foods Grapefruit/Mint Bath soap + Chagrin Valley Conditioner Shampoo bar

Brush: 24mm Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger

Razor: 8/8" Palmera #14, Full Hollow Ground, Spike Point (w/ Black Acrylic scales - Done by Dylan)

Strop: 25/65 laps (Tony Miller Heilroom Horse hide linen/leather)

Soapreme: Cyril Salter "Indian Sandalwood" Shave Creme + QED "Indian Sandalwood" Shave Soap + Glycerin

Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue AS

Skinfood: Trumper's Sandalwood

Results: I gotta get me a Sandalwood AS and cologne to complement the soap/creme. Ideas? Anyways, the shave with the Palmera was amazing. But, no surprise there. I gave some of the brushes (including this one) a clean up yesterday and the performance improved 100%. The M&F whipped up an exceptionally good lather. The Sandalwood scent was out of this world as was the prep. Woooahhh ! This is exactly why I like being a man. Let's see what this day has in store.

Have a FABULOUS Friday gentlemen. Make it count.

Hi Guys! Had a noteworthy shave with my Victorian Wade & Butcher wedge this morning. That blade loves to sail through 3 or 4 days of stubble.
A couple weeks ago I shot in a tournament called the "Victorian Rifleman Provincial Shoot" and scored a silver medal (much to my surprise).

Have a great Friday gents!

I recieved "The Mutant" This week from Grant. Im not as good as him at taking pictures. Also a picture cant not always show the quality. Well let me say in person Grants work is awesome. The handle is one piece. No slop or play. Perfect. The finish is cool. The SPIKE! Well let me say OUCH!!!!!! My first cut in a long time. Tool me a while to figure out how to hold it. Grant's edge is TOP Noch. 2 Passes the BBS. GREAT JOB Grant! I also havent used Tabac in a while so i went all out.

Tomorrow we'll do our trip to Dresden- a visit in the renewed Military-Historical Museum.
I hope I can create some good pictures.
Stay tuned!
BTW:
We'll also "visit" the Mall (Apple-Store and Build a bear)

While there Tom say a prayer for the innocent Men Women and Children as many as 200.000 who were killed during the bombing of Dresden.

Regards Jamie.

Thanks Jamie.
New scientific researches say:
During bombing Dresden there were killed around 25000 people

The most important fact is...Dresden and Coventry are sistercities!!!
Thanks again Jamie, I'll say a prayer in your name!
