Razor: Twinplex Sales 5/8
Brush: Altesse Badge
Cream: Pacific Natural Shave Cream
A/S: Master Bay Rum
EDT: Drakkar Noir

Great shave using a straight razor that I took from the Grab Bag as well as cream I also took from the Box! Great lather followed by a very smooth shave from the new razor. The Master Bay Rum and Drakkar Noir topped off a great shave! Sorry if the picture isn't that hot.

Thanks, though I did delete the original post so I could re-do how the picture was done.

To say I am less than enthusiastic about the project is probably putting it nicely but hey, happy wife, happy life, right?

The major advantage to leaving my wife at my MIL's place for a week is that I can sit in front of the TV in my underwear, drinking beer and eating pizza.

Razor: Robert Kelly & Sons 7/8

Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller Linen/English Bridle

Results: Another new razor to the collection, she's nice and heavy and took a nice edge giving me another sweet shave

Prep:Super luxurious 3 hot towels, sandalwood & vanilla pre-shave oil
Brush:24mm TGN Silvertip Premium A in Cherry handle
Scuttle:Dirtybird Custom Double
Strop:SRD P1 paddle
Cream:Bodega Bomb
Razor: Max Sprecher custom 8/8 ¼ hollow Frenchpoint in B&R M3

Result: Today started very early. I got up and made home made cinnamon rolls for the family to enjoy (a 3 hour project). My soon to be 3 year old helped me roll out the dough and before too long the whole house was filled with the intoxicating aroma of cinnamon. I'm officially on vacation (so I'll be back to daily posts, cross my heart!) until December 5th. I cleaned up the mess in the kitchen, put the little one down for her nap, did some honing for about an hour, then had my shave. I hadn't shaved in several days and I set out to really enjoy myself. Lots of hot water, 2 hot towel treatments, massaged pre-shave oil into my beard, lathered up and then 1 more hot towel. Today's shave was fit for royalty. Thanks for all the wonderful photos and posts you guys, I hope everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving (We have round 2 tonight with the in-laws, but I'll be catching up on SOTD's after that).

THANKFUL FOR EACH ONE OF YOU!!
