March 31,2016 Razor: Schick J1 (3) Brush: Omega Syn. Cream: Proraso White Tube Pre Shave Oil: Homemade A/S: Dove. Men + Care Bowl: Pick Up at Local Antique Shop Finally, a BBS, yahoo! Started with ATG, Lady J glided over my face like a skater over ice, smooth and comfortable, loving it. With 2 small weepers. Human error. The 2nd pass, WTG, again, nice and smooth all the way, no "boo- boos". A little lather on neck for clean up and done. Looking at a happy camper. Not quite a Billy F, but I`m satisfied ( one of these days Billy). Happy shaving to one and all. Bill
Hello TSD. Today's shave: - Stirling Bay Rum - Semogue OC - Rockwell 6S - Polsilver SI - Body Shop Kistna ASB The Rockwell has become my go-to-razor. Smooth, efficient - just a really good shaver. Two passes WTG and X/ATG for a pretty much BBS face. Still haven't figured out which of the base plates I like best - I'm torn between 4 and 5. Have a great day
Nice setup! @Llyr! I read your SOTD everyday and I noticed you're a cold water shaver. I would like to invite you to join us. fellowship of Cold Water Shavers And here is a banner for you if you'd like to use it to identify your cold water shaves in your SOTD.
No special lighting. Just an old Fuji Point & shoot with auto focus on and 85% or so of the pics are taken off the dresser in the bedroom so background is the dresser. To the left 8-9 ft is the lighting from the ceiling fan and behind me about 5 ft is the lights from the bathroom. I then will use Photoscape to crop it down, auto level to adjust I guess the lighting. If background to dark I will use adjust background or lighten. With the SOC Cherry Boar it looks deeper and richer in color as couple of months ago I wiped down my Buffalo horn brushes and bowls with Neetfoot Oil and then on this brush I also added some Carnauba wax to give it a darker hue than other SOC out there just to be different and I like to think it helped nourish the wood. My grandfather use to use Neetsfoot oil with Carnauba wax to wipe down his old furniture so I thought I would give it try.
