    Hi all, good morning! Here's a look at today's SOTD-

    [​IMG]

    Post war Gillette Fat Handle Tech by Delta Echo RazorWorks.
    Silver Tip Badger Chinese brush.
    Bolzano Superinox blade.
    Nivea post shave balm on standby.
    Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve as splash.
    Safari for men cologne.

    I had thought my technique was solid, but my game is off today. Perhaps it is due to a sleepless night, and an other issue that surfaced, but the end result was I ended up with a couple of weepers and some stubble. The Shave scores out as an SAS. But I'm ok with that. Have a good day everyone, and God Bless.

    Marvelous shave with the Schick Xtreme3 this morning. Three passes for a dolphin smooth and refreshing finish. Enjoy your day friends. :)

    Despite the intense heat here I opted for a non-mentholated shave and I enjoyed it immensely because it was with Rod's gold medal-winning Sharp Dressed Man. That soap's scent is so lovely, it gave me more lather than I could shake a stick at so three passes were no problem. After I put on the Lubriderm moisturizer I applied a little Nip Man aftershave balm which smells nice and has a mild, but pleasant cooling effect. I can't stop praising my Plissoft synthetic and my 1950's Super Speed because they're the two best brushes and razors I ever had. BBS, and with so little effort!

    Wishing you all a wonderful day!

    Margaritas with a Miami twist. Perfect lather aside from a few hairs aged from my 400. Three close passes with my mysterious Gillette (very low serial number, a tail piece that doesn't match the Gillette pattern). Chased the baby, got a couple weepers for it. I'm smooth but comfy eluded me. Finished with kolonia and margarita balm.
    Hope y'all did as well, or better. 20170628_074248_resized.jpg

    Hello David, that is one cool razor. It looks like a flat bottomed Tuckaway head on a new standard outer barrel, with a Bulldog inner barrel. Very cool looking! Thanks for sharing it.

    6/28
    Brush - Parker Finest Badger Brush
    Soap - Chiseled Face Civet
    Shaver - Gillette New Long Comb
    Blade - Gillette GSB
    Aftershave - Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue
    Gucci Sport Cologne

    The Chiseled Face Civet is new to me. Great scent and I could not figure out what to pair it with, so I just went clean and old school. The soap like my other Chiseled Face is top notch. It is easy to lather and the lather is a very nice dense foam that is very slick. I keep having to remind myself that the New Long Comb is an aggressive razor. This razor definitely requires me to pay attention riding the cap. After a two pass DFS, the splash on aftershave and spritz of cologne rounded off an nice clean shower and shave. Good Day.

    Injectors are so easy to use, I don't understand how they lost out to DE's. But, then again, I like DE's too. Decisions, decisions....just so hard sometimes. But I'm ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks.

    A great shave with Williams this morning. My first use with the P1 flare tip and the shave was excellent, and what better way to finish a Williams shave but with Aqua Velva. Have a blessed day gentlemen.
