Thought I'd give the Thater a challenge with the Dovo soap, which can be a bit hard to get good lather from, but the Thater obviously didn't know that, wonderful lather in no time...

JM Schmid & Son 6/8
Omega Boar brush
Institut Karite soap
Old Spice

Most excellent shave with the JM Schmid topped off with Old Spice for my last workday of the year! (working in academia has its advantages)

Good Evening,

I missed a couple of shaves as I was traveling. I arrived in London late last night.

I went shopping with my daughter today, I managed to get a couple of presents for myself. Some Eucris EDT from Trumper's, some TOBS collection No 74 Victorian Lime After Shave and some TOBS Sandalwood Shave Cream. And I finally caught up with my SRD Thater brush. Once again a very big thank you to Max, great Job.

I am going out this evening with some old friends that I haven't seen for a couple of years, so a nice shave was in order.

Prep: Shower
Strop: TI Paddle Strop, 30,70
Brush: SRD Thater (Fan)
Cream: TOBS, Sandalwood
Razor: Dovo Master's
AS: TOBS Collection No 74, Victorian Lime.

What can I say about the shave? Nice and smooth in 2 passes, but did a 3rd just for fun. Superlative products, I lathered in a bowl, (which is fairly unusual, for me ) The brush was simply sublime, best I've ever used.
The smell of the Sandalwood intoxicating and the Victorian Lime was, well simply gorgeous. (I had to buy a second bottle of the Victorian Lime for my daughter as she liked the smell so much)

Have a Great Evening

Hot Shower / Merkur 39C / Feather / Semogue LE 2011 Finest Bristle 1 / Moss Scuttle / Super Menthol (Godrej+Gellette Mint ) / Denim / Gellette Gel

Good Morning.

Special shave day today. I'm going to see my father, I haven't managed to catch up with him since May of this year, he was in Cyprus for a couple of weeks and I managed to get over there from Doha for a weekend.

Prep: A run in Epping Forest, followed by a shower to get the mud, Horse and Cow sh*t mixture off.
Strop: TI Paddle Strop
Brush: Semogue, 2030, Badger
Cream: TOBS Sandalwood
Razor: Dovo Master's
EDC: GFT, Eucris.

Special Day, I enjoyed the sandalwood fragrance of the TOBS yesterday, couldn't resist a second go today (it was that or the tube of Nivea I brought with me)
and of course, I had to use the Eucris, which I bought yesterday.

Nice Shave. Have a Great Weekend
