Result: I am in San Francisco for work, so I walked early this morning for a killer breakfast at a fine place in Union Square. I was already in a good mood, but the breakfast made me feel even better. This is my travel stuff, although, at times, I use these things at home as well. I am not a huge fan of Mama Bear's soaps, but it does it's job just fine. I learned I prefer tallow based soaps, just my preference. Now, off to get some work done. Good day to you all!

Of all the SOTD I've looked at over the years, without doubt that's the best prep I've ever seen or heard of, in fact it's so damn good I'm going to try it out on my next shave.

Prep: hot shower
Brush: Shavemach, 30 mm D01 two band
Razor: C V Heljestrand with medals
Soap: LEA stick
AS: Floid Blue
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
If it "only" was for shaving I could use this kind of blade any day in the week, works a treat to remove stubble

Mama Bear Orange Orange - Zebra Wood Silvertip - Merkur 34c - Bluebird Blade - Nautica Blue - Acca Kappa Muschio Bianco

All in all, a pretty crap shave (the Acca Kappa was nice though). I don't know what's wrong with me today but I feel riduciously tired. I really need to perk up before providing some medical cover later.

Thursday evening
Hot water prep
Filarmonica Sub Cero 14 razor- L'Occitane CADE sc - Silvertip badger brush - cold water splash - T&H 1805 asb - hot towel - Penhaligon's Opus 1870 sampler EdT

Shaving with the -freshly stropped- Filly is almost too easy. It's so easy in fact that I wouldn't be surprised if it soon will be taxed.
Sorry mate, that shave was so effortless, we're going to charge you 2% shave tax...
Lol.
BBS in two. I'm all ready for my long weekend. Have a good one!

Razor: TI 8/8 horn scales
Strop: Ambrose horse
Brush: Plisson 18 horn
Soap: Acca Kappa cream
A/S: Acca Kappa gel
(Mongin knife, horn)

Have a good day!
