Morning gents. My son got a bit upset that I borrowed his rubber duckies yesterday and didn't photograph his razor (Gemstar custom w/acrylic blade) with them. So I figured it'd be a good excused to go back-to-back DD days and try out the Satinedge I just got of Rune via the classifieds. As a side note, shaving with a 4 year old brings a whole new deffinition to the term "wet shaving"

Prep: Hot Shower + Mugso Pre Shave Oil
Brush: Vulfix 2236S
Scuttle: SRD
Suds: TOBS Rose + Glycerin
Blade: DD Satinedge 5/8 (Rune correct me if I'm wrong, haven't had a chance to remeasure)
Post: Thayers Rose WH
ASB: Jack Black Post Shave Cooling Gel
Results: Great shave as I spents some quality time with my son. He had a field day (again). Took me about 30 to clean the bathroom after though. The Satinedge is in great shape and will fit nicely in my collection of DDs. Rune put a really nice edge on it. Unfortuneatly, I had to spend a bit more time supervising my son so I'll have to run the razor through it paces next time.
Good morning Gents! Great pics so far. I hope the day finds you all in god health. The S.O.T.D. for me was...
Prep:Hot shower & SWMBO's conditioner on the beard as usual. Hot Towels and mandrin patchouli pre shave oil

God Speed to Baily and your family. so glad to hear he is doing well!!!
I will confirm what Mikael says, they are all gorgeous. I spent a few weeks with the Police in Sweden. I was assigned to a female officer who was just.....tall, blonde and gorgeous. I had a delightful stay to say the least.
Tues Jan 10
Brush: Vie-Long Boar
Soap/Creme: MWF
Razor: Shumate Barber followed by a Gillette Old
Blade: Astra Sp in the old.. I think.
Pre: Hot Towel
Post: Alum and Witch Hazel
Hair Groom: Gables Cream Oil
Result: The new little boar did great with the MWF, which was a good thing, since my straight razor skills aren't exactly first rate ( including my stropping skills, apparently, since the razor was a lot sharper the previous time I'd used it, despite my best efforts). Still, I managed 2 passes of reduction with it without any nicks. I finished up with a Gillette old, since it just felt right to use my oldest vintage DE razor to finish up a shave with my vintage straight.

Normally I start off with a para about my mundane existence for background info, but I’m not going to do that today, as it really is just too mundane, so straight to the Shave Report:
The shave this morning was excellent. I’d honed the W&B as part of JaNorton and then, after shaving once or twice, did 10 laps on the 8k. It was superb; as good as you’d need it. I believe that, generally, I can confidently say that yes, I can hone (thanks to this site).
Squeeeeeeeezzzzzed out the very last of the Musgo Real (there may be ONE shave left). I do like Musgo, he does very well in the lathering department, and I like the smell too.
Be good, be healthy and be happy...
PS, anyone tried O Melhor cream (silly question, of course you have). What's it like?
Razor: Wade and Butcher Special (I LOVE this razor, so smooth) Pre Shave: Proraso Cream: Musgo Real ASB: None After Shave: Pinaud Clubman and Burberry ‘The Beat’ Eau de Toilette

The return of the prodigal shaver...

Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel
Balm: C.O. Bigelow Mentha
Another stinking hot summer day here and I had an afternoon shave when I got home from work.
This Gillette is very easy to use, and gave me a great squeaky clean head shave in 2 passes.
The Mentha Balm was once again a fantastic way too cool down.

Breakfast Stogie: Phillies Titan
Tried something new (well, new to me anyway) I did my usual two pass shave then did touch up pass with hot water and about a nickel size blob of baby oil gel. Worked quite well moisturizing my skin and made the surface quite slick to touch up the usual trouble spots. I've never been to Eklstuna, Sweden but if it produces razors like this and the venerable C.V. Haljestrand, I can't imagine, it's not a great place.

Uber:MWF + Musgo + Glycerin
Post:RazoRock Alum + Nivea for Men Revitalizing
Result:2 passes to a DFS
This BQ has thrice now given me a great shave. I also love this brush as a switch from the Thater. Thick, creamy lather all the time. Oddly enough, I seem to have a touch of razor burn on the cheek... which is odd as I never get razor burn. Maybe in the rush, it didn't apply the balm thoroughly. Bonus for the day - my barber hones arrived, by DMT 8C arrived, and my newest addition (Dovo Flowing 6/8) will be here today :)
Happy Hump Day all!
