    I don't think I've ever seen that Omega brush handle before. It's really nice....

    I like that rather industrial look of that razor. A prototype?

    Prep: warm wash and Cornhusker's Lotion
    Lather: Klar's Kabinett
    Brush: Omega 10066
    Razor: Gillette New SC
    Blade: Blue Bird Hi Stainless (4)
    Post: cool rinse and Proraso green aftershave

    I returned to my tub of Klar Kabinett after a 3 week dalliance with a few other soaps. So easy to make a rich and slick face lather with this soap. I have to use it up so I break into my Dusy Kabinett sometime next month. The New SC delivered again but did help me open a weeper on my lower neck which stopped with the rinse of cold water. 3 passes and I am ready for the weekend with my wife and sons.

    Have a good one gang!

    Razor: Joris Thuja Wood
    Blade: PoliSilver (NOS Vintage) (D13)
    Brush: Shavemac Extra Extra stuffed Silvertip 24mm
    Bowl: Buffalo Horn 5” Lather Bowl
    Pre Shave Scrub: SPAtopia Dead Sea Scrub
    Pre Shave Oil: Homemade Cedar-Frankincense-Mint
    Shave Soap: Saponificio Varesino Dolomiti
    Post: Monster Alum Block
    Aftershave: Saponificio Varesino Dolomiti

    With yesterdays shave I thought the Vintage PoliSilver was getting long in the tooth and should put it to rest, but I was wrong. Wonderful 2 pass shave with the Joris Thuja Wood this morning and I believe I probably could get 20 shaves out this blade but I have a Cobra Classic waiting in the wings I plan to use that beauty with Monday's shave. First time using the Saponificio Varesino Dolomiti this morning and a wonderful lather and post shave feel. My granddaughter was kind enough to pass along her cold to me so cannot pickup the aroma but my niece who is here visiting from Portland stated it smelled like something Grandpa would wear. Don't now if that was a compliment or not at this point.​

    And how did you like the veg seeing that it's your first day with it?

    Funny, can it be that The Veg is becoming as common in SOTDs these days as the L'Occitane Plisson brush?

    Can it be that the Veg plan to take over the world is gaining ground?

    Can it be that I need some coffee this morning?

    Im on the west coast, so it's still early. My wife did decide she likes it, so it looks like the population of "Veg" Town has increased by one....
