Thread: Sun October 21st - Sat October 27th

Prep: Warm Shower
Brush: Van Der Hagen Boar Brush
Soap: Williams Mug Soap
Bowl: Sesame seed Mortar w/ Williams on the bottom/ Japanese bowl to mix
Razor: 4/8 Maine Barber Supplies co.
Strop: SRD Black 3in Latigo w/ poly webbing
Shave: two pass WTG and XTG(ATG for neck)
AS: Aqua Velva
ASB: AoS Unscented
Results: so I've had Williams soap for about 5 months and I used it once and I hated it. Then I read Disburden's thread and I figured I would give it another shot. I couldn't believe the amount of suds coming off this soap. I didn't have much time to spend on tweaking the water so it wasn't perfect but it was way better than my first try with the soap. It was DFS for a Hump Day.

Brush: "John Bull" (Rooney 1/1) in Super Badger
Suds: QED Jasmine shaving soap

I know this isn't my shave of the day today, I didn't have time to do pictures with work and my baby boy and dog and expensive italian wife... BUT I just wanted to share how excited I am to shave with my Filarmonica DT #13 I got in the mail today. I hope you're all ready

Another hectic day today as I get ready to oppose a rather ecccentric individual with some extremely obstructionist counsel. Should make for fun. To get ready, I needed a good relaxing shave, so I reached for a few things I don't often use:

Buddel | Semogue | Cade | AdP Balm | Montale Black Aoud

Today i shaved whit the giveaway price I won this month. Thanks again SRP & donors.
I dont have to shave today, but just wanted to try out the razor and soap, ohh .... and of course the cologne.
The razor is fine sharp'm very happy with it, the soap requires a different process than I'm used to, so am not sure yet, the smell is amazing. So the soap I have some experimenting to get the best lather. This is going to be fine I guess.
All in all I am happy with it.

I gave this razor a little touch up last week, so tonight was just a quick 2 pass test shave really.
The edge was good, could probably get a little better though.
A very nice shave, really enjoyed the cream (Thank you Rene)

Thanks for the great posts and pics fellas

Grant, great looking razor! Who did the work for you? Love the idea of a fixed blade!

Prep: Lukewarm Shower, Clearly Natural Aloe Vera
Razor: J. Wiss and Sons Cosmo
Brush: No name shiny handle Boar
Soap: Cella
AS: Skin Bracer
Finish: G'eau Pour Hommes
Result: Brush was a SWMBO find at the Flea Market. It came with one of those razor and brush holders. Not bad although it is a bit smaller than my normal brushes. I really am starting to like Cella a whole lot too. Not sure what my initial difficulties in face lathering were all about but it seems to do fine now.
