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.

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

 

Very interesting straights you have there............................

 

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.

 

Very action figure @Marverel!

 

I like how you pulls the red out of your photos each day, good job my friend!

 

Thank you Guy! Trying to keep it interesting!

 

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.

 

Your method works beautifully Guy.

Very nice a setup Bob.
