Thread: Sun December 4th - Sat December 10th

.

Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W

Razor: G&F Adoration

Brush: Thäter SRP 2011 2 band

Cream: Cyril R Salter Vetiver

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel

AS: Vetiver Carven

EDT: Carven Vetiver

Summary: Today I was finally able to break in my new SRP 2011 group buy Thäter brush. Had it soak for 10 minutes while I was taking a shower. Whipped up a ton of vetiver lather in no time. What can I say. It felt like being on cloud 9. The brush and shave was just sublime. It was all I expected it to be and more. Extremely soft and luxurious tips, backbone, resilience and a nice density. It just sucked on to my face like a sponge. I had enough leftover lather to go another round or 2. The handle is a perfect fit. Overall I would classify this brush as A+. Off course I had to use my vetiver products to celebrate. I hope everyone else who joined the group buy is as happy and satisfied as myself.

For me the new SOTD has started with a bang. Wishing everyone else the same.

Oh Max...That brush is a beauty . The fact that it is "sublime" is not surprising...after all, we all know the Master Designer; "YOU". I can't wait to get mine. It was supposed to be Friday, got pushed to today and now it looks like (hopefully) Monday

Thank you Robert!

Good morning friends.



At the christmas market we met a lot of people. In 2013 we'll send a church choir to our sister city Lynchburg, VA and therefor we need a lot of money. We spoke with local politicians and some donors.
It works, I think.

Have a nice sunday.

iKon H2O
Personna Prep
Ginger's Garden Tobacco Flower Soap (sample from Irene )
Wellington Woodcraft Silvertip
L'Oreal After Shave Balm
Old Spice Classic Cologne

Sunday afternoon (post half marathon training run) shave:

Dovo 6/8 Best Quality
Mitchell's Wool Fat Soap

Thayer's
Aqua Velva Ice Blue
Nivea ASB

Trumper's Spanish Leather cologne

5th shave in a row today. Managed to get a nearly close shave on the point of my chin. Missed a spot on my upper lip that's buggin' the crap out of me but overall, another darn fine shave today. Even managed a bit of blade buffing under my chin.

I am really liking the weight and balance of the Dovo. Fingers crossed that it keeps getting better.
