    This past SOTD was killer. Amazing shaves and hardware. Yowza. I'm impressed. Two thumbs up and a warm welcome to the few new participants.
    We had a gorgeous day in Vegas and after walking around in my summer clothes I decided to give myself a refreshing shave. Irisch Moos, Aqua Velva, Cool Water,... can't get any better. Well maybe Castle Forbes Lime but that'll be for another shave. Opened up a nice chilled Chardonnay to end the evening with the wife. Summer is still far away but I'm already getting in the mood. Have a great new SOTD!

    Just a lazy Sunday evening 2 pass shave tonight. The W&B always gives me great results.
    Almost CBS, definitely a Damn fine shave.
    In tonights photo is a Bowie knife that belonged to my Grandfather (Pa). I've just restored it this week and I'm very happy with how it turned out. I left some patina on the blade because I think it suits the knife well. Thanks to MickR for his advice on restoring the sheath.

    Thumbs up

    Max,
    What an excellent start to this week's SOTD

    Béla,
    What an amazing razor and software buddy

    Grant,
    Now, that's a shave to be proud of. Well done. Love that W&B (and great job on the restore on that beautiful knife)

    Sounds like I've been missing quite the show last week. A warm welcome to our new fellow SOTD-ers .
