Stick Valobra // Simpson Chubby 2 2-band // Sub Cero 14 // Thayers // Floïd Blue Italiano // Alvarez Gomer EDT

Just a quick one-pass this morning, not worth SOTD but I was edging out the goatee again and almost ended up in the cut of the day, but the bleeding stopped fairly quickly, and the nick was smaller than I first thought it was. Somebody remind me to get a dang Alum block soon.

Prep: 4 mile run, hot shower
Razor: Wheat Sheaf Cutlery Co.
Strop: Illinois 827, SRD Prem. I
Brush: AOS Fine Badger
Cream: Spencer & Devon Sagebrush
A/S: Floid Blue

Result: Excellent shave, now back to work. You all have a good Monday!

few minutes ago.....after a no good period

Occitane Cade/ F.S.Silvertip/ Balm Nivea/ Theegarten 5/8

Tuesday morning:



Jabonman "Afeitado Vintage Limited Edition"
Thäter 4125/2
Kiyotaka Ichihara Kamisori
Myrsol Agua Balsamico Aftershave

The soaps of Jabonman from Barcelona I really appreciate. They are made from the finest ingredients and work very well with me.
This one is custom made for a Spanish shaving forum. The smell is hard to describe, maybe like this: A walk in the woods in summer. No German fir forest, more of a pine forest after a rain and a melting mints in the mouth.

Have a nice day!

lotse, you use the English language beautifully.

And yes, Jabonman soaps are wonderful soaps, definitely worth the effort it takes to get them.
P.S. jabon in Spanish is soap

Oh and a real lack of light coming in the window.

A very nice picture!
I always use a tripod. Even if the light seems not too little. With tripod you get the Zack-Sharpness .
