    I don't often do three pass shaves but I just felt like doing so today so needless to say this was a BBS shave. Black Friday gift from SWMBO today. A 73" Mitsubishi Flat Screen TV. Football on Sunday will be the dog's bollocks!

    A relaxing shave, whilst conversing with my oldest daughter and listening to Miles on the trumpet. Simple enjoyments are sometimes worth a fortune. The large wedge was way over-kill for the two day stubble, but it hadn't been out for a while and needed a spin. Here's wishing you a great weekend!

    I had my first straight shave today, and miraculously there was no blood! The styptic pen was ready anyways.

    Razor: Nello purchased from a member here
    Brush: Synthetic from The Body Shop
    Soap: Dr. Harris & Co. Marlborough (which smells amazing)
    Aftershave: Old Spice Classic/Lemongrass witch hazel

    Welcome NickFlatoff! Great looking first shave. Congratulations on the success. We look forward to hearing more about your progress and to seeing more SOTDs! Welcome to the SOTD Brotherhood, or as eTom likes to say, be a part of the pack!

    I love Swedish blades. It took a little while for me to learn how to use and appreciate my smaller razors...

    Thanks, it was very fun to see that on the front page! The Old Spice is just one of the new metal bottles, but I do love the ceramic ones.
