Another BBS day for me. This morning: Old Spice Fresh Limes shave cream, Edwin Jagger DE87 razor with Astra SP blade, self-made silvertip badger brush. Post-shave was cold water, Thayer's Witch Hazel, followed by Ogallala Limes & Peppercorns aftershave. As usual, three passes and a touch-up under my chin.

Getting to really appreciate the Old Spice cream more and more. At first I was under-impressed by the scent, but it really makes a great lather.

 

Good looking brush. Like the handle.

Another great shave. DFS, getting to know the Adjustable better with each shave.

 

Yeah... you photography guys are a part of the reason I don't post pics. It's not your fault, but I just don't feel inspired by hanging my photographic stick man next to your Sistine Chapels!

 

Thank you. Whittled from a wild cherry limb off a tree in my back yard. One of three in my avatar.

 

I think this is the second olive wood brush I have seen and that is some very nice wood. Will have to get me one!

I put the Monster XXL handle on the Tech and it turned the razor into a most efficient razor. It is one of my favorite razors, but todays shave was superb.

I'm restoring my Grandfathers brushes and instead of re-painting them I'm staying with the natural wood. Just ordered the knots from Whipped Dog.
Had to cut down some elm this year, have to see if there is anything that can be used.

 

Hey Friends,

i needed a shave after coming home from a hard days work. There wasn´t that much to shave and skin is a bit irritated now, but the joy while shaving was definetly worth it.


Brush: PAV Brushworks "Gold Coast" || Soap: Tim´s Soap "Greek Peach" || Razor: Gillette Fat Handle Tech || Blade: Personna Med. Prep || Aftershave: Majestät

The Soap is really wonderful. A great peachy scent. I lathered up with my PAV Brushworks Gold Coast Silvertip which created a good amount of great lather which made the shave to an enjoyable one. This one is one of the slickest soaps i´ve ever used.

So Friends, take care and have a wonderful time.

Greetings
Thorsten​

 

Soap: C&E Oxford & Cambridge, bowl lathered. While I face lather as often as bowl, there something just "fun" about whipping up a bowl of lather, especially from a soap.
Brush: Frank Shaving Finest fan shape, Jade Persian Jar
Razor: Gold Fat Handled Tech
Blade: Rapira Swedish Super Steel (2)
Three smooth, bloodless passes
After Shave: Fine Fresh Vetiver
Sweeeet! Man how I love this.

 

Seeing Mike's beautiful brush on a regular SOTD basis compelled me to follow suit & pursue the olive wood handle.
