Wednesday
Prep: Hot Shower/ Proraso pre-post creme
Brush: AOS Pure Badger
Scuttle: G5
Soap: Pannacrema 'Casablanca'
Razor: Beau Brummel #18
Post: Proraso AS/ Nivea Lotion unscented
Result: I could not resist going with the Pannacrema again! The scent and performance have vaulted this soap into the top tier of my rotation. Wanted to try it with a different brush today, I think this soap likes almost any brush, lather bursts out of the bowl! Coupled with the Brummel it was a quick effortless 3 pass tribute to shaving goodness today. Splash the Proraso AS and no sting whatsoever, Silky, Sticky, Smooth!

Thanks Carl, I was offered a deal by one of your fellow countrymen a little while back on a lovely De Pews, I'm still undecided, but very tempted especially when I see yours.

Don't know that I'd sweat it too much. Sounds like one of those new age psycho-babble terms for a man who won't kiss a woman's ass on command. If it were me, I'd take that as a compliment but that's just me. Perhaps a joke would lighten her mood, try this one

Result: I'm on the road in Cleveland, Ohio this week. It's a cell phone pic in low light, but just wanted to participate in the SOTD. A nice shave all around this morning. Have a great day gentlemen!

Wed, Sept 5

Pre: Hot Shower, 10 Linen, 15 Leather
Razor: Hart 6/8" Square Tip w/ Rosewood Scales
Brush: Thiers-Issard Super Badger w/ Black Horn Handle
Scuttle: Dirty Bird Brush Scuttle
Soap: Classic Brand Bay Rum

Aftershave: Proraso White

Decided to give my rotation of the Dubl Duck a break this week. It's been getting nippy. Always a toe cut with the Duck it seems. I think it the grind. Its at least a full hollow. Maybe I like 1/4 hollow better. Either way. I think maybe a couple more shave and I will have to pick out a different soap. My original plan was to try out my SRD samples but I am not sure if I want to do that or try one of my other flavors. TOBS Lavender, AOS Sandlewood, or MWF.

Decisions, Decisions.

I love those. I've had them a few times pass through my hands and they feel great. Both in performance and handling. Bellissimo!

I had to rush 1 ½ passes and I got a little raw, but clean enough and prob cleaner than every Fusion owner out there (well, maybe except for Vinnie, my favorite Brit Fusion shaver).
