    SOTD: Happy 2017! This morning's early shave is the second of three consecutive using a vintage Dubl Duck 5/8" (each of the three razors was honed using a different finisher). This Dubl Duck 'Satinedge' was finished using a comibination of naturals (Belgian coticule/apache strata). Same soap & brush as the previous day (Soap Commander 'Influence' lather applied with Shave Works badger, matching SC balm). Result? A smooth, nearly blood-free episode (small chin nick due to 'operator error' ) Perhaps a touch less keen on the toe compared to yesterday's JNat-finished razor, but still no slouch. A very good shave.

    By "vintage" you mean the one with the classic French Horn doing the jingle on the TV ad? Today, we get "Smellmitment".

    Great choices! Now that Stirlingsoaps has this Nag Champa, I may want to give it a try. Say, is that dog wearing a bowtie?

    Yeah Paul, he sure is. Most female dogs are in season in the spring, and he wanted to impress this one certain young lady on St, Valentine`s Day, ergo the bow tie. By the way, Success!!

    SOTD January 1, 2017

    Blade    : Chinese Schick
    Razor: Schick M adjustable injector
    Brush: Jayaruh #60 synthetic
    Lather: Route 66 Cavendish
    Post: Witch hazel splash enhanced with Ozark Mountain Trail aftershave, Nivea sensitive balm
    WTG, touch-up

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    Nice shave with the Schick adjustable. I started on 5 and then cranked up to 6 for the touch-ups. Smooth razor.

    I'm starting a month of Route 66 usage. We have a thread in the Shave Soap section. Amazing lather - well-hydrated, easy to generate, bountiful, slick, conditioning, etc. It's everything that you would look for in a top-notch lather. This will be a fun month!

    Have a great New Year's Day!

    Not even a professional barber could have given me a better shave than this - it took 3 passes with my Super Speed/Astra combination to get me so BBS that even my wife was shocked when she kissed me. She said I was almost as smooth as her and our daughter. The Plissoft synthetic whipped the Glacial Wintergreen soap into magnificent, bone-chillingly cold lather and the matching balm and witch hazel added their own special soothing post-shave care along with a freeze which could leave the average guy almost disoriented and shivering. What a wonderful shave this was! :happy088: :happy088:

    Happy New Year, my dear friends! :)
