Dovo Prima
Vie Long Horse/Badger
Nanny's Rasage Traditionnel Soap
Alum
Old Spice Whitewater


A great shave, the soap was a belated Christmas present from my sister along with a cake of Sandalwood. She bought 2 cakes but only 1 tin, presumably expecting me to use up one before starting the other............
What a strange and alien concept, but a truly great present as Nanny's soaps are outstanding.

You go and have a great time! If I went, I'd wind up divorced.

Sounds like a great start. Welcome to the SOTD.

Strop: Illinois 835
Brush: Comoy Badger
Cream: TOBS Lemon & Lime
Razor: Bengall 6/8
Toner: Thayer's Lemon Witch Hazel
Balm: Nivea Replenishing
A/S: Aqua Velva
I still have a hand full of samples that Rene sent me which I haven't tried yet, but I keep coming back to The TOBS Lemon & Lime. It's not just the performance, I absolutely love the smell.
It kind of reminds me of fish & chips on the beach on a summer afternoon..
The Bengall gave me a nice 3 pass BBS, but I will give it a few laps next time I have the hones out.

Have a great weekend boys, thanks for the posts and pics.
