The day? Sunny and to be 82ºF / 30ºC. The shave? Smooth and a no problem joy.
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!

So last night I honed it and today it started begging for me to take some pictures.
My photography does not do it justice.

Razor doesnt look too much to the world but it tangoed well with the charnley forrest hone and picked up an excellent edge which made it an excellent shaver
Sunday Shave,
Warm Shower, Warm Oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
Badger Brush by Bill (PixelFixed)
AOS Lavender Shave Cream, little glycerine
Bob Allman Split tail Custom, 8/8 Full hollow in Translucent Buffalo Horn http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...-horn-ocd.html
Strop, 100 laps
Razorock Aluminum
Pinaud Clubman
Vaseline for me.
I had a three-4 day growth today as a test for the new OCD razor. Lathered up with the badger and AOS Lavender shave cream. The photo was taken after the two passes. Tons of lather still available on the brush and inside the scuttle.
Stropped it up real quick and went to work on the very long whiskers. Two passes and I was BBS, a few hot towels and Razorock and my shave was done. Bob gives new meaning to "FULL HOLLOW" when he grinds a razor.

I've been loving your guys' SOTDs for a long time now, and figured it was finally time to add one of my own. This was a pretty spectacular shave and a pure joy. I guess it was just a shea butter kind of day :) I'll try to contribute once a week and hopefully, my photography will get better. Have a great week, guys!
