  1. The adventure continues, I would love to be seeing green like that instead of falling snow! LOL Very Nice!
  2. 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.

  3. Hello TSD. Today's shave:

    FullSizeRender.jpeg

    - 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 :happy088:

  5. 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. :)

  9. 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.
  10. Your method works beautifully Guy. :)
