Nice shave for a nice afternoon. Off to another Devils/Flyers Stanley Cup Playoff Game with my daughter. No photo today.

Nice SOTD's this fine day from all who have posted!

I took a break from yard work, cooled off a bit and disappeared into the shaveden for a nice, long, and relaxing shave. Sat and stropped the entire rotation as well. The Wife came in to see if I was OK!
A super shave with an Emde Bros razor with Razorock XXX suds, the Thater brush, finished with Afta followed by Stetson.
The third pass was smooth and silent. Sweet!

Have a glorious week, Gents

Sunday Afternoon

Robert Becker Scuttle
Real Shaving Cream
Real Shaving ASB
Real Shaving Face Cream

A nice, leisurely Sunday afternoon shave, which was thoroughly enjoyable. This razor feels like a butterknife on my face, but the whiskers are gone, all the same. The product lineup is pretty darn good, especially when you consider that you can get this tube for about $7 at the pharmacy. Have a great week, SOTD Brothers!

Work, play or army Bill?

I decided to go all French tonight. MDC and a french blade. Fantastic moisturizing results.
