SoS: July 2021

thank you sir.

absolutely fabulous..

 

absolutely fabulous line ups and pics gents.

 

Dixie Master Barber straight
Frank Shaving travel brush
Fine Accoutrements Snake Bite (vintage)
Royal Copenhagen cologne

Awesome lather courtesy of a new brush to the den. It is suppose to be a travel brush but it is bigger than I expected. The tube and end caps were blue but I bead blasted those and then Scotch Brighted the finish. Comparison photo of the brush with a few others from the den. T3 Trafalgar and MrEE LE #011.

I decided to get the Dixie out this morning. This is one I had honed with lapping film. While it is not there with the Diamondine it is doable. Two passes on the cheeks and three on the neck with no blood loss. The alum was barely noticeable. I actually shaved with a razor I honed and stropped.

A little witch hazel followed by the Royal Copenhagen cologne and this one was in the bag.

Have a great Monday gentlemen.....I'll probably get about three more this week.

Shave of the Week Starting 12 July 2021

Rotbart #15 razor
Silver Star blade
FS/WD boar brush
Seaforth! Spiced SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Seaforth! Spiced A/S

Mighty fine shave to start the week with. Love the Seaforth! shave soaps, they just work marvelously for me and smell oh so nice. The FS/WD boar brush is a good one. Very soft from the get go jus gets a little tangled now and then. But, all in all, a great start to the week. My face is very happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.
