Monday Night

Seehund 1015
D R Harris Arlington Cream
NF2213
Alum
Gillette ASB
Old Spice Whitewater

Lovely shave, the Seehund was performing brilliantly tonight.

.

Prep:	Hot Shower / Very Hot Water Soak
Razor:	6/8 Ontario Cutlery, 11/16 Hamburg Cutlery Co.
Hones:	3" Big Daddy Felt/Chestnut 75/200 each
Brush:	24mm Pure Badger C/O Whippeddog
Uber:	TOBS Sandalwood
AS:	Alum Block Then Humphrey's 'Sensitive Skin Formula' Witch Hazel
Edc:	Old English Black + Cuba Gold
Result:	I re-Honed these last night during the superbowl using my Norton 4/8k, C12k finisher followed by 20 on diamond felt then 40 on CrOx paddles. I worked very hard on them this time, taking extra time and effort to get a mirror edge. The time and effort paid off with a DFS using them both today. Last shave left me pretty torn up and bumpy, so back to the hones they went. This time smooth as silk and no sting on either side. Both razors are going to be much more in demand from now on. Oh, and A big thanks to Nicknbleeding for the Hamburg in bone scales. That razor is one sweet blade, hard, hard steel and a real pleasure to own, hone and use. Thanks Rene!!!

Happy Shaving Men!!!! And Welcome to the new additions!!

Happy birthday to all I have missed in the past weeks. I hope to be back regular again! Missed you all and your gear!!

Stropped up my Henckels 66 on my Neil Miller leather equipped Lipshaw microtome strop. What a nice, aromatic and smooth shave! The Best!

Sitting in front of the TV today after a big breakfast. Supercross and Superbowl!

Have a nice week All! Make Good things happen!

Prep:Hot Shower
Scuttle:Dirty Bird Custom Double
Brush:TGN 24mm in Custom CherryHandle
Strop:SRD PI
Cream:Custom Frankincense, Myrrh& Vetiver Bomb
Razor: B.J. Eyre Wedge
After shave: Pinaud Clubman
EDT: Perry Ellis 360 Blue



Result:I've been away from theSOTD for a while. In December I grew a beard so I could show afriend of mine how to shave his off with a straight razor. Thislasted for almost 3 weeks until the day when we stood in his bathroomand I would shave a stroke off of mine and he would shave a strokeoff on his until my beard and his were completely removed. InJanuary, I decided to participate in JaNorton and decided not to boreanyone with the same 2 razors for an entire month. That being said,I was afraid that if I looked in on the SOTD, that I would not beable to stick with JaNorton (Y'all have way to many fabulous razors to tempt me!). I got a bad cold at the start of February and spent a bunch of time in bed. That being said, I've missed you guys and plan on being back as often as possible. I saw Grant's post earlier today and decided that today was the perfect day for re-entry to the SOTD. I've got about 1.5 months worth of SOTD to catch up on! Thanks Gentlemen!!!


Cheers!
