    Thumbs up Sun February 26th - Sat March 3rd


    Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W
    Razor: J.A. Henckels Twinworks 415
    Brush: Simpson Polo 10 - 2 band
    Soap: Castle Forbes Lime
    Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel
    AS + ASB: Aqua Velva


    Going out for a long party tonight so an early shave and posting for me. Don't want to get our European brothers all worried if the new SOTD doesn't show up on time . With spring around the corner and a gorgeous day it was time for some of the most refreshing products in my collection. To make a long story short. This shave was one to remember.
    One word: Awesome. I'm ready to hit the night. BBS and refreshed.

    Gents, enjoy the last week of February. Shave on!

    An out of this world shave tonight. MK32 i reciently recieved and honed by Bill. Also another shared the shave, one i honed on a C12K athon. I really underestimated what my C12k can do. She held her own against Bill's Jnat. Surprised the hell out of me.

    Default Going Dutch again!

    Hi guys - another glorious shave with the Dutch Rattler today. Hard for me to pickup anything else of late, this razor is that good (or maybe I just can't see any of my other razors behind it ). I had the SRP LE packed away (im moving) but I dug it out today to great effect. Tons of lather from the Body Shop Macca Root cream, a cool buzz from the Proraso Pre-Shave and a burn free splash of Thayers to round things off, smooth in three.

    Have a great week gentlemen!

    Good luck with your move. I really think you should sent that razor to me for safe keeping in you move. Wouldnt want anything to happen to her. She is a beauty.

    Razor – Japanese Western, Tamahagane
    Brush – Semouge boar
    Soap – Cella
    AST – ALUM & Dickinson witch hazel
    Good morning;
    I am testing out a couple blades before they go home to new owners. Finished up with my beautiful Japanese Tamahagane western grind. Max did his magic with the horn scales on this one and it is a perfect match. A truly one of a kind razor. I am spoiled by the shave. The origami ball is from Mr. Akira Yamashita. Have a great week all.
    Mike

    A quick and relatively easy one this morning. Life has been insanely busy, so my Noob Chronicle and even the frequency of my shaves have both been sporadic. Hopefully things will calm down to more normal levels, though with the upcoming addition of a new member of the family, that isn't likely.

    This week we got the "all clear" from the doctor and so I'd like to announce that SWMBO is now 13 weeks pregnant with #2! Hopefully all goes well.
