Sun February 12th - Sat February 18th
Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W
Razor: Wade & Butcher 'Celebrated Extra Hollow Ground'
Brush: Simpson Chubby 2 - 2 band
Soap: Tabac
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel
AS: Tabac
For this shave I picked my favorite Wade & Butcher which is exactly like I love my grinds, extra hollow with that nice singing sound when you strop. My whiskers are always in fear when they notice that razor on the sink. It gives me an incredible shave, time after time and it never disappoints. Same goes with my Tabac goodies.
Wishing y'all a great new SOTD

Dutch Rattler
Good day gentlemen!
Todays shave was briliant - managed to go ATG on around 90% of my face, something I dont often manage with any razor. I guess the whiskers couldn't be bothered fighting the Dutch Rattler! (can you blame them )
Some great news this morning too - Julie from Dirty Bird Pottery has finished my 1.5 scuttle ahead of schedule and will be sending it early this week! cant wait to try it out (and retire the oh-so-common 'mugs').
Today the 10/8 JR Dutch Rattler was paired with my SRD Premium I, Proraso pre-shave cream, my Thater Olive, Body Shop Macca Root shave cream and Thayers astringent. Finished the session with a spritz of Diesel 'Only The Brave' EDT - a great scent trapped in a stupid bottle
All the best in your endevours this week! EF

Thanked: 1072Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Strop: MickR's Roo Hide
Cream: TOBS Lemon & Lime
Razor: Bengall 6/8
Toner: Thayer's Lemon Witch Hazel
Balm: Nivea Replenishing
A/S: Aqua Velva
On a hot Summer afternoon the wife, kids and I went for a swim at the local beach. Followed by an early dinner of fish and chips with lemon juice.
The lemon juice planted the seed in my mind and I had to pull out the TOBS Lemon & Lime for tonights shave (sample from Rene).
It is definitely on top of the must have list, I just love the smell of this stuff.
The Bengall, did an amazing job on what must have been 4 days worth of growth. 2 passes and I'm BBS.
A fantastic way to begin the SOTD week
Thanks for all the great posts and pics gentlemen.

Good morning friends!
It's a nice sunny sunday morning here in Oslo.
Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Fonex boar
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Scuttle: Robert Becker large
Razor: Rostok C 70, 4/8 hollow ground round point
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: Fougere home made splash
Notes: Brilliant suds today, as you'd expect from MWF. Razor is small, but handles very well, and sports a crisp and smooth edge. I'd call this shave "1 pass with touch-up in spots".
Enjoy your weekend guys.

Nice Sunday shaves. I have a three day growth I'm looking forward to removing later. Enjoy the day.
