Good morning friends.

The Thiers Issard will be the right one for today

Good Morning Gentlemen,

I haven't been posting regularly this week, partly because I've been quite busy trying to get round and see people (during my short visit to the UK) and partly because I only have one Razor with me.

I generally travel with the Dovo Master's as it's Stainless and slightly easier to look after away from home, I do dry it off properly, but I don't bother oiling it daily whilst I'm away.

Prep: Run, Shower
Strop: TI Paddle Strop
Brush: Semogue 2030, Badger
Soap: Palmolive Stick
Razor: Dovo Master's
AS: TOBS, Collection No 74, Victorian Lime

The shave was great, I'm really enjoying the TOBS Victorian Lime, it smells, well quite Victorian.

Have a Great Day

SOTD Friday 23

Pre: Myrsol
Brush: Mason Pearson, pure badger
Soap: Dovo Almond
Razor: Timor TTO + Elios
ASL: Pashana, Original
Comments: No time for photos, sorry. Excellent shave with the TTO in two passes.


Thanks for your posts, Gentlemen
Have a nice day!
Angel.

Nah, Robert is a sophisticated guy, he doesn't want to show off, that's tacky, you know. He has a Rhodium blade now, with titanium scales.

As for the "Mysterious Maxtom"...Don't worry. It will make its grand premier on Christmas Day--or shortly thereafter.

Awesome buddy. I very much look forward to that report. Merry Christmas

Well done Sargon, but I am sure there are plenty of better options for a beard prep than canned goo.

How'd you know, LOOOOOOOL? Good guess and (almost) close

Personally, I scoop some off into the bowl

Cheers Mike,
That is one beautiful shave. Love the Eagle, but love the Uber even more. That's a wonderful combo. I wouldn't share that 1 hr either.

That's a great combo Tom...German engineering, meet French design

That's one great setup EA...and so English. Hope you're having a grand' old time in the UK visiting loved ones.

Now, that's an Angelic shave Angel (even without the photo). Well done

OK. This post is not really a Shave Of The Day (in fact it's not a Shave of the Day at all), it's a Message To The People, It's a Message to my Mates at the end of the year, it's a message to those who have supported me by their messages. It's a message to those who's comments go beyond the boundaries of a simple forum, it's a message to those whose comments form part of a brotherhood, it's a message to those whose comments are understood, it's a comment that says, "It's a lot more than shaving; it's sharing..."

It's a message of the season; it's "hey, I like you guys.." It's a punching of knuckles, It's a slap on the back, it's a "I'll get you a beer; what are you drinking?", it's a "Hey, don't worry, shit happens.." It's a "I Understand.. I do..."..It's a "I like being part of this forum"..

The picture is all of me, it really is. Everything that is me is in the picture, from Jesus, to the Australian Army, to everything else that you can see. This is a picture of my desk in my bedroom, it is fundamental. It represents.

It's the the last post of the year, and it a 'thanks'...

Sorry I haven't been around a while, i've been in hospital drugged out of my head on morphine and tramadol, with a chronic back and siatic problem, i came home from hospital on monday, still house bound first time in my life, poor Wife has to wash dress and and carry for me. awaiting a CT scan hopefully early january, I really should have heeded the early warnings a few weeks ago, but I didn't being a Carpenter I thought I could just work through it BIG MISTAKE! Never again.
Anyway only the second or third shave with this razor since i restored it, really should use it more often lovely shave, if you dont hear from me much over the Christmas period then perhaps more in the New year, until then wishing all the members of the shaving room a very merry Christmas.
