Have a Great Thursday Gents!

Prep: Hot Shower, Clearly Natural Honeysuckle
Razor: Boker Red Injun 102
Brush: VDH Boar
Soap: Cella
AS: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Finish: Clubman
First time in ages I've mug lathered the Clearly Natural Glycerin soap has proven to be a great pre-shave and the Cella, did in fact do better in a mug. All around a great luxurious shave

Location: Alabama (Heart of Dixie)
Pre: Hot Shower
Soap: AoS Sandalwood
Strop: 3" Latigo Bench Top
Razor: Boker Stainless 5/8 with Olive Wood Scales
Brush: Shavemac Silvertip with Olive Wood handle
Scuttle: SWK XL
Post: AoS Sandlewood Post Shave Balm
Cologne: Gucci Intense

It's turned cool here so I thought I would break out the AoS Sandalwood soap. AoS Sandalwood cream was the very first product I ever used (a Christmas gift last year) and I really liked it, so I purchased the soap. I used it once or twice but then it went in the back of the drawer. I just could never get it to lather well. It's been months since I've used it, it was much better than I remember (I think my lathering skills have improved dramatically over the past 10 months). I really enjoy the Boker. It's a great, capable shaver (and my second straight razor). The stainless blade holds a fantastic edge. Followed up a great two pass shave with some AoS Sandalwood Post Shave Balm. It has a great, masculine scent that matches the Gucci cologne nicely.

I hope everyone has a great day and weekend.
