SoS: December 12, 2016 - December 18, 2016

Today's shave
Hot water wash with nivea mens face wash and a washcloth
FS silvertip
Bombed Soap Commander Respect
Wade&Butcher 6/8 full hollow square end
Iced L&M Florida Water (atomized)
Today's shave was nice. Great lather, my FS silvertip may be my best performing brush. The ole' (shefield only) w&b made three passes for a very comfy and silky smooth face. Finished with iced atomized Florida Water.
Hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

SOTN December 15th

Dr Jon Hydra
Satin Tip The Purest

Homemade Tangerine AS

Good morning friends! Last night led to another decadent December shave. I was able to get a very nice, warm, thick lather from Dr Jon's and the Hydra scent is phenomenal, it smells so good it makes you want to taste it. Last night I did something I normally don't do and that was shave against the grain, hopefully I don't pay for it later with ingrown hairs. Due to the ATG the alum had a bite to it in places but my homemade tangerine AS cooled it right down. I walked away with a BBS finish, which is always easier when you shave ATG. Have a great day my friends!

I'd like to correct an egregious error I made in my SOTD for today(Thurs). Anyone besides me who's used TSD Lanolin soap knows the Lanolin is part of the soap itself, not "thrown in" as I described. I gave too much credit to the Russian Leather, not enough to the original makeup of the TSD soap.

 

Thank you guys, you are too kind to me.

 

Is it original or replate? Either way very, very nice...........

Dang! That was a face freezer of a shave and a darn fine one at that. Been using the Parker Variant razor for quite awhile now and can't seem to put it down. Excellent shaves every time. Is this the razor I never knew I always wanted? Think so. At any rate, fine shave and ready to go. Think I'll dust off all my other razors, they are feeling neglected. Now go enjoy your day folks

Two easy passes, WTG/ATG with a little clean up produced a good BBS shave. May The Lord deliver as good or better to all.

After a real disaster using Brutalt Bra...I grabbed a sure-fire, no irritation, top-performing soap/razor/brush combo.
IMO, there are too many "artisan" soaps that push the envelope with FO's and EO's. At least my recovering neck thinks so.
Less is more, I always say, and that is why soaps like this one, vintage Williams, MWF will always remain my favorite products.
Have a great day!​

Nice setup amigo. Very cool design on the razor head.

 

Jim, Is that a gold Black beauty or is it just the tint of the photo ?

 

Nice photo with a very good aftershave!!!

 

Wish it was, but no. Just doing the color saturation bit on IrfanView program.
