Congratulations to you and your growing family, Seth!
He saw a lawyer killing a viper on a dunghill hard by his own stable; And the Devil smiled, for it put him in mind of Cain and his brother Abel.

Third shave with this setup in a row and the soap sample shows no signs of abating any time soon. These little soap samples have staying power! I'm contemplating running with it until it's gone, but not sure if I can shave with the same gear for that long! The weekend is upon us and I should be off to Montreal tomorrow to visit some friends. Have a great weekend, SOTD Brothers!

I didn't have time to post yesterdays shave, but it was so good I thought I'd put it up today.
Prep: Hot Shower+Lather
Brush: VDH
Bowl/Mug: VDH/ Vintage Amole Shaving Soap Mug (I think its from the 40s or 50s but I just found the date 1907 on the base of the mug, idk if that is the Est. date or when the mug was made. I think it would be pretty neat if it was that old.)
Soap/Cream: VDH/ ToOBS Eton College Shave Cream
Razor: 1946 Gillette Aristocrat
Blade: Fresh Derby
Post: Nivea for Men Post Shave Balm
I've been finding out how much of a difference a fresh blade makes for my shaves. Two days ago I used the same razor (the Aristocrat) and just did not get a good shave. I wasn't really sure why either, but I figured it had to be the blade, although I only had about 4 shaves with that blade (I was under the impression that they're supposed to last a bit longer than that, especially since I have very light beard growth). So I went ahead and put in a new blade yesterday, and the difference was very apparent, it just shaved so well. Inasmuch, the irratation that I am prone to on my neck (and that I always got with my multi-blade cartridge razor) was non-existent.
So I was really pleased with yesterday's shave.
