Thank you, Rob. I really think this is the best vintage razor I have ever used

 

SOTD Sun. 3/13/16
Pre Shave Cleanser: Noxzema Classic
Pre Shave Oil: Shave Secret
Shave Soap: Route 66 Lumberjack
Shave Brush: Semogue 620 Boar
Razor: Maggard V3A Head/MR5 Handle
Blade: Personna Lab Blue

After Shave Balm: Vaseline Cooling Lotion
Soap: Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap
Cologne: Avant-Garde by Lanvin

Good morning friends. Wonderful shave this morning with the Maggard V3A. This is an aggressive closed comb with a perfect balance of smoothness. The gun metal finish is beautiful and impeccable on it. Maggard puts out some fine quality and very reasonable prices. I just had to go with Route 66 Lumberjack again, I just feel pampered using this soap. BBS finish on this Sunday morning with a touchup under my right jawline...good to go. Have a great shave and a great day guys.

 

Awesome setup Danny!

 

Had a fantastic shave with Clubman shaving soap! Very slick and moisturizing, using the 22mm Disruptor was the right choice because of the small jar. Using the Edwin Jagger DE89lbl was so fun! It's as good of a shaver as any razor made.

Another great picture!

 

This wonderful, smooth shave gave me a great Krampert's Frostbitten face also thanks to Brian's awesome duo - that soap and aftershave are two must-haves in a Menthol Monkey's den!

Mastro Livi Double Damascus San Mai, 15/16 Full Hollow, Barber's Notch​

It is so hard to tell what is the Mastro Livi straight razor I like the most. Of course I like them all and each of them brings its own story, character and soul. And, of course, a truly personal and different shaving sensation. Mastro Livi carbon damascus is both beautiful and high performing, but I admit this san mai double damascus straight razor is even more special. Not only for the fact Mastro Livi engraved my name in the tang, but also for the fact I watched the whole making of this razor and it was "tailored" on my hand grip, something you can see in razor's spine and tang. This razor is very special to me. Scales too are breathtaking: they are made from a beautiful piece of amboyna burl with three colors, absolutely awesome. And I am sure of this: this Mastro Livi double damascus sanmai straight razor is a truly and excellent masterpiece. And it has my name in it.​

I'm not sure I applied enough of the Sherlock, but what a pleasant feeling on my newly-shaved face! I also didn't shake it as much as I should have. I'll rectify those problems tomorrow.

 

The shaving soap must be something new from "The Man Of Clubs".
