SOTD No video today Preshave: Proraso White Brush: Brad Sears 2 band Custom 30mm Bowl: Castle Shave Lather bowl Soap: Fougere Gothique Barrister & Mann Razor: 9/8 W&B Custom Scales FBU Aftershave: Fougere Gothique Barrister & Mann Edt: Fougere Gothique Barrister & Mann Great shave, this soap never fails me and this razor is just my ultimate favorite. I can’t stop picking it up. The scent is not the greatest. Smells a lot like your grandfathers old cologne sitting in the middle of a wet football field sitting on top of a full septic tank. My wifey hates it but I absolutely love it... go figure lol definately not something you want to use everyday but performance is excellent. A plus is that my Brad sears seems to be opening up nicely.

They are both from Wild West Brushworks. The one on the right is a two band badger, the one on the left has a knot I glued in myself, and honestly I don't recall the details other than it is also a badger. Both work great.

Tuxedo Razor: I have been advertising this is a 7/8 but I measured it while honing and it is in fact a 15/16 Wade and Butcher Barbers Rattler Soap: Barrister & Mann Lavanille Bowl: CastleShave Lather bowl Aftershave: Barrister & Mann Lavanille Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
A 26mm synthetic from TGN and a handle I made from acrylic rod off the bay,,, not my favorite brush, but it is my first synthetic knot. It kinda slathers the lather like a brush and it is different than the stiff backboned badgers I like.
This is a The Shave Nook 2012 LE (89/100). It is made by Semogue. The knot is mixed - boar and badger. It is considered to be one of the nicest knots produced by Semogue. As I remember, it took me about a year to find this brush. Well worth the perseverance and effort.
My brush of the day is Vlasta's T-400. It was my first shave with it, and it will be on deck for the rest of the week. A very nice lathering brush indeed.
SOTN preshave: Proraso White Bowl: Castle Shave Lather bowl Razor: 6/8 Wade & Butcher custom scales Soap: Martin De Candre Rose Brush: Brad Sears Custom 30mm Select Badger Aftershave: Barrister & Mann Lavender End results were great face feels damn well soft and slick. Just shy of BBS as I can still feel a tiny bit of neck stubble. This doesn’t bother me, but having to go back to the tub mid Shave bothers me! Not pleased with that. Still learning the brush apparently, and learning how to Lather lol. Hope you guys enjoy the vid... some interesting comments in there Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
