You gentlemen have all been showing such impressive/RAD Inducing SOTDs. Thank you for your contributions!

This was actually from last night...a first evening shave for me...


Prep: Hot shower and lather
Strop: SRD Red Latigo 3"
Razor: Dovo Pearlex 6/8
Soap: Classic Shaving Sandalwood
Brush: Simpson Beaufort 4
Post: Gillette Gel and Nuetrogena moisturizer
Notes: First shave on new acquired Dovo from SRD. It took out 2.5 days of growth without issue. It was nice to spend the time needed for the shave, while the Wife was keeping an eye on the dogs. Looking forward to the "tradition" of evening shaves to relax in the evening. I'm still getting the hang of shaving with a straight (seeing as this is my 4th or 5th shave), so not quite as smooth as I would prefer, but an improvement from the last nonetheless.

This razor is quickly turning into my favourite razor, i'm glad that i've given over so much time to this razor because it's worth the reward, when you feel really confident about using ths pretty scary sharp thing, well it no longer scares me, but it certainly delivers a super shave, maybe I will be getting the Feather AC- SS with the wooden scales in the new year?

Prep: Conditioner in shower, massaged lather, Proraso Pre/Post
Razor: Zartina Cutlery Works
Brush: Rudy Vey Black Buffalo Horn, 2 band
Soap/Cream: C&E Sandalwood/AOS Sandalwood=Yummy Superlather.
Post: Cold Water, Thayers Lavender WH, Proraso Pre/Post, AOS Sandalwood Balm

Comments: Overall Shave was good. Razor still needs a bit of hone work on the toe and belly, but performed well reguardless. Chin is a little raw, but I am blaming that on operator error. No nicks or cuts, so not bad results for my third 3 pass with the straight. Thanks!

Great shave today with the Dovo. Near enough to BBS in 3 passes that I'm pleased. The combination of bay rums got me off to a great start!

Can't believe it's Thursday already! feels like the weeks are just flying by leading up to Christmas and New Years!

Prep: Hot Shower + Woody Exfoliating Fash Wash + Xpec Pre Shave Oil
Lather: Mama Bear's Natural Lime Oil + Trumpers Lime + Glycerin
Scuttle: SRD (only the 2nd use and I'm really liking it)
Brush: Gold Dachs Silvertip Kaleidascope Acrylic
Razor: 5/8 Red Imp by Case
Post: Alum
AS: TOBS Collection #74 Lime
ASB: Trumper Lime Skin Food
Cologne: TOBS Collection #74 Lime

Results: It was all about the lime today. I haven't touched the Red Imp in a while and while staring at my razors this morning it was shouting USE ME!!! It was a good shave but not a phenomenal shave. I think I'm going to have to touch up the edge on this one.
