Hi all.

Valobra, HJM 31 P8, Atkinson 5/8, Floid

Nice and smooth shave.
Angel.

Wednesday

I liked last night’s SOTD photo so much I decided to do a similar one tonight. Last night’s was better though. This morning’s shave was followed by a busy day at work and a short weights session listening to Pearl Jam up loud in the lounge room (details below).

The Klas Törnblom gave a nice smooth shave with a single pass, though I was feeling a little prickly by mid afternoon. C O Bigalow lathered extremely well, and the combo of Dominica Bay Rum and Evalfor ‘Whisky’ Eau de Toilette is just an incredible combination. Dominica is my first Bay Rum, though, so I’m keen to try another, maybe C O Bigalow…

Some incredible images from everyone this week, and it's only Wednesday!

I arrived home from work this afternoon, to find an empty house. While the wife & kids were out I decided to take the opportunity for a quiet shave.
I haven't used the Kropp for a long time and wasn't sure how it would perform against a 3 day growth.
Happy to report it's performance was top notch. Managed to get 3 passes in before the family pulled into the garage, with an absolute BBS result.

Thanks for the great posts and pics fellas

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Simpson Polo
Razor: Curla, Kayser Ellisons Best Silver steel
Soap: Nanny French Lavender
AS: Floris Santal
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Uberclean
During the shave I was thinking: "it doesn't seem to be anything special about this Kayser Ellison steel", now when I'm sitting and touching my ultra clean face I'm thinking: "Wow". I love Dr Harris Sandalwood, it's old school British gentleman AS and Floris Santal's a modern British ditto and excellent stuff as well.


... and, of course:

I arrived home yesterday to find the Bob Allman razor waiting for me. I was exhausted from a week long trip that had me running from one place to another in horrible conditions. Anyway, all went well since my daughter is thrilled with her new place and she is ready to tackle grad school (I am a proud Daddy).

Too tired to shave last night so I just showered (no water pressure in Florida so the shower was welcome also) and went to sleep. After having several goo/multi-blade shaves I am ready for the Allman

What can I say but wonderful. My wife and daughter love the color of the scales. I'll post more later but I am off to Philadelphia to take my daughter to the airport for her School trip to Italy. I always laugh at the school part but I do believe there is so much more to education than sitting in a class room.

Wednesday

Result: Nothing like an excellent shave, sticky smooth and smelling good to start the day. It's hard to be irritated after staying up till midnight working on your son's brake line that broke and then going out to head for work and finding a flat on your vehicle...I just switched to the other truck and off I go to face the day! BBS and feeling like a million!

Have a Great Wednesday Gents!
