    SOTD November 29, 2017

    Prep: Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: Schick
    Razor: Schick Revere injector
    Brush: JR #60 synthetic
    Lather: Fine Platinum
    Post: Witch hazel, Fine Platinum aftershave
    WTG, touch up

    All the elements came together in good synergy with this shave. The Revere is going to be a fun razor to own and use. Really enjoyable! It's been a while since I've used Fine Platinum - great scent and superb performance from the soap. I find it needs and can take a good bit of water. Enjoyed working in the hydration and getting some superlative lather.

    Almost to the end of November - hard to believe! Have a great day!

    +1 Just use it up in time for DECember! Steam clean 5 or 6 engines, power wash your house, mix the rest with water and spray your yard with it. No insects or weeds next spring! The prairie will be better for it. ;)

    Another great lather with this soap, this time with the WD. This razor is just a super shaver, I need to use it more. 3 passes and a little touch up and I am smooth. Broke out my other new AS this morning. I bought it because it was described by CL as being completely different that anything else they made. Another fantastic CL scent. As complex as anything else I have of theirs, but yes, completely different. Vanilla, ginger, tar, maple, citrus, tonnes of other stuff. No idea how to describe it. I am still kind of fascinated by it an hour later. CL products might make for a fine DEcadent focus.
    Have a great day all!

    Another morning full of fantastic pics, Gentlemen. Somewhere along the line, the photos on this thread have started to equal the SOTD thread photos.

    Was too tired to shave last night so I did a quick two pass this morning. Face lathered some Catie's Bubble '95 Liquid Labels and quickly made a creamy slick lather with my Satin Tip. WTG followed by a straight ATG pass left me with a DFS all over without any irritation and the post shave feel of Catie's Bubbles is very nice so no need for an aftershave product. Have a great day my friends!
