Thank you Doug. The background is a small end table from India. My wife and I shipped back several pieces of furniture including a chest and desk from India when we visited. Of course that was before 9/11 and all the additional costs and issues we would have today.

Saturday, February 25 Stirling SDM~~SOC Boar (14)~~Mühle R41/Weber Bulldog~~Polsilver SI (5)~~Dominica Bay Rum Back at the Boar break-in. Getting pretty soft, but it takes 30 shaves to achieve Boar Nirvana. Have a great weekend!
Razor: Supply Provision Custom 2 dot head Blade: Chick Brush: RazoRock Tri-color Soap: B&M Roam Post Care: Thayers Witch Hazel Osage Rub Alum Aftershave: B&M Roam Birthday shave! I've been saving the samples I was generously given by @youngunn for this morning's shave. I've wanted to try Roam for quite a while now and finally got my hands on some samples. I now understand. The scent is amazing with the typical B&M quality. I got a smoky, pine tar and vanilla scent from the soap. The AS is more smoke with earth, grass and herbs. Hard to describe but wonderful. My search for full sized products goes forth. I've been wet shaving almost exactly a year now. I would have never thought something I used to despise can now bring so much joy. It's been a fun journey and there are too many people I need to thank for their advice, gifts, encouragement and friendship. The people of TSD are wonderful. Have a great day folks!
Schick L1 injector with Chick blade Arko Cool cream, hand lathered Witch hazel, Speick aftershave WTG On a weekend trip - no picture today. Going to some Mardi Gras parades today in Mobile, Alabama. Mobile is the original home of Mardi Gras celebrations in the US, even though New Orleans gets all the press. The parades in Mobile are family friendly and lots of fun. The shave was fine. One pass for a decent shave that's good enough for today. Hope you all have a great day!

What a great shave I had thanks to my trusty Super Speed and the fresh, invigorating lather of the Palmolive Menthol cream. The Lucky Tiger, together with the Rubby Dubby Doo were a perfect finish. My wife won't admit it but I can tell she's starting to like the Old Spice on me!
SOTD: Lovely Saturday morning shave using this vintage Otto Deutsch "Hans" 5/8" (1930s); Route 66 "Sweeney Todd" citrusy lanolin soap, custom Oscar11 boar brush, and a Musgo Real No.3 'Spiced Citrus' aftershave finish. Have a blessed day, gents!

The Feather Pro AC transforms the F, just a spectacular shave. I had done an experiment with a Super AC last week and didn't care for it but this is a perfect combination. One of the easiest BBS head shaves I've ever done. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
