Sun January 22nd - Sat January 28th
Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W
Razor: The Baltic Cutlery Co.
Brush: C2 2 band
Soap: Proraso
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel
ASB: Aqua Velva
Last weeks shaving was so amazing I decided to take the Baltic Cutlery Co. for another spin. And again it didn't disappoint. It's really one of a kind. 50 laps on leather and she was all ready to go. This time I used the refreshing Proraso cream and Aqua Velva balm. WooHoo. Refreshing indeed.
We finally had a few drops of rain today. Hadn't seen any rain since December 18th, Unfortunately not enough, However we are having gusty winds up to 60mph. Still going on as I type.
Gents. keep up the excellent SOTD's!

Thanked: 1072Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Strop: MickR's Roo Hide
Brush: Comoy Badger
Soap: L'Occitane
Razor: Invicta 13/16
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel
Balm: Nivea Replenishing
A/S:Old Spice
The Invicta has been in pieces for 3-4 weeks now. I wasn't happy with the pinning on one side of the wedge pin, so I took it completely apart to re-pin the whole lot and used different washers this time. While I was at it I ordered some Micro-Mesh and polished the scales to a new level. She looks great now.
After all that I though the edge would need a little refresh, so it went on the Coticules and then the Thuri.
The shave was SUPERB.
A 2 pass BBS, and what a great way to start the SOTD week
Thanks for all the great posts and pics fellas, and have a great week.
