Thanks!

I don't think I've ever seen that Omega brush handle before. It's really nice....

I like that rather industrial look of that razor. A prototype?

Love the Rollei TLR in the background

2/21/15

Prep: warm wash and Cornhusker's Lotion
Lather: Klar's Kabinett
Brush: Omega 10066
Razor: Gillette New SC
Blade: Blue Bird Hi Stainless (4)
Post: cool rinse and Proraso green aftershave

I returned to my tub of Klar Kabinett after a 3 week dalliance with a few other soaps. So easy to make a rich and slick face lather with this soap. I have to use it up so I break into my Dusy Kabinett sometime next month. The New SC delivered again but did help me open a weeper on my lower neck which stopped with the rinse of cold water. 3 passes and I am ready for the weekend with my wife and sons.

Have a good one gang!

Razor: Joris Thuja Wood
Blade: PoliSilver (NOS Vintage) (D13)
Brush: Shavemac Extra Extra stuffed Silvertip 24mm
Bowl: Buffalo Horn 5” Lather Bowl
Pre Shave Scrub: SPAtopia Dead Sea Scrub
Pre Shave Oil: Homemade Cedar-Frankincense-Mint

Aftershave: Saponificio Varesino Dolomiti
​

With yesterdays shave I thought the Vintage PoliSilver was getting long in the tooth and should put it to rest, but I was wrong. Wonderful 2 pass shave with the Joris Thuja Wood this morning and I believe I probably could get 20 shaves out this blade but I have a Cobra Classic waiting in the wings I plan to use that beauty with Monday's shave. First time using the Saponificio Varesino Dolomiti this morning and a wonderful lather and post shave feel. My granddaughter was kind enough to pass along her cold to me so cannot pickup the aroma but my niece who is here visiting from Portland stated it smelled like something Grandpa would wear. Don't now if that was a compliment or not at this point.​

Same setup as last Sunday except for the Veg. Day 7 on this Schick blade and it does not show any signs of of giving up yet.

Rock on you Veg lovers.

LOVE that razor...then again I do have a thing for a but odd razors.
How does it shave?

In Veg we trust

And how did you like the veg seeing that it's your first day with it?

Funny, can it be that The Veg is becoming as common in SOTDs these days as the L'Occitane Plisson brush?

Can it be that the Veg plan to take over the world is gaining ground?

Can it be that I need some coffee this morning?

Im on the west coast, so it's still early. My wife did decide she likes it, so it looks like the population of "Veg" Town has increased by one....
