Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: SRP Thäter
Razor: Wade & Butcher "Zephyr"
Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller Linen/Kanayama Cordovan
Soap: Sir Irisch Moos
After shave: Sir Irisch Moos
Notes: This was actually yesterday's shave, but Photoshop decided that my new camera wasn't supported by the Camera Raw version I had and refused to process my pic and I hadn't time to start updating, so a little late posting (It was almost today when I shaved so I hope it's okay
) As expected with this combination the shave was heavenly

Sunday Shave
Razor: Nagamasa Kamisori
Strop: SRD Black Latigo
Brush: Semogue SOC
Soap: DRH Marlborough
AS: DRH Marlborough
ASB: Trumer's Fragrance Free
Cologne: DRH Marlborough
Starting my second year of straight shaving with a really nice setup. DRH makes a killer soap and I love, love, love the scent of Marlborough (though SWMBO has her favourites, this one is mine). The Nagamasa is a tamahagane blade and it shaves amazingly. It might just be the best shaver I own, in fact, though you do have to watch it and pay extra attention or it will remind you of just how sharp it is!
In Canada, our Thanksgiving is tomorrow and we are off to a Thanksgiving lunch this afternoon with the family, including my 89-year-old grandmother. It will be nice to have four generations around the table. Happy Thanksgiving to my SOTD Brothers.

Yeah. I love when computer programs act funny. I tend to do my editing with Corel.

SUNDAY
Hot shower prep
Razor: Lecoulter au sentier
Soap: Omega
Mug: face lathered
Brush: home made silvertip 24mm TGN knot
Aftershock: none
Splash: Ultra Black.. pour homme
A very close shave furnished by the latest in my quest for a "REAL" Lecoulter. The blades clean up and hone readily and will offer a very smooth and close shave. I thought I would again try the Omega, which to date had left me quite underwhelmed. Today, whipped a bit thin and face lathered, it did just fine. The splash was a find for a dollah! and I kinda like it though I am unable to categorize the scent.
I have been looking for a "REAL" Lecoulter razor. I found this one in a Le Lecoulter box,with blades, and no logo stamp. Maybe a workman's second, purchased from a batch that went through all the processes without a stamp? I don't know and shall keep on looking; now I have five "not quites!"
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!
May you all have a great week of personal achievement and great shaves!

Shave # 6 of month long love affair with my Dorko 7/8 round. All my SOTD are going to be boring with the same razor lol
I dream of a world where a chicken can cross a road without having it's motives questioned.

No shave today, but I have emerged from my trip to New York City...
