Good morning all;
One of my Russian razors was called to action today. A fast smooth shave was the result. I paired it with the MWF soap which I had never used before. I like it very much. The Semouge brush was an acquisition from the classified section and I could not be happier. Check out the beautiful abalone cap on the handle. It’s a big brush that holds soap like a mop.

We started the new week with a monday in the sauna.
Now it is time for a smooth shave with a very good Wade & Butcher.
Have a nice week, friends!

A late night shave for me today - broke out my near NOS Genco 'Fluid Steel', a beautifully nimble 5/8 hollow that benefitted greatly from six or so light strokes on the 2 line Swaty (with lather). The Swaty left the edge very smooth - if not overly 'sharp' - and let me pull off a DFS in three. The Genco was paired with my Thater olive, Body Shop Macca Root, Thayers W/H and Nivea aftershave.
A hell of a hard time getting a presentable pic today - ended up using the 'food photography' mode on my new Sony DSC-HX9. Still grainy as hell. No SOTD mode unfortunately!
All the best for the week ahead gentlemen! EF.

Got me the exact same one in identical condition but 11/16. A magnificent little companion for our beloved shaves.
