Beautiful brush and razor combo.

You will have to post pictures in the Rubberset 400 thread when you are finished with it. I look forward to seeing it.

I am joining you with the No Buy 2016.

I'm thinking about that as well.

Unfortunately mine are not the 400 model. But the knots still need to go.
I will post a step by step thread though, but I will practice on my less desirable ones. To me the hardest part will be choosing the guinea pigs.

My shaving plans for Tuesday morning:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/Astra day 2
Krampert's Frostbite SS
Krampert's Frostbite AS
Drakkar Noir EdT

Not quite as bitterly-cold as a Menthol Monday selection, but make no mistake - these items are still capable of delivering a serious and powerful menthol wallop. Brian's Frostbite soap lathers with such ease and feels so nice, soothing, and comfortable as well as chilly. His matching aftershave is another "iceberg" with terrific skincare and the same lovely scent as the soap.

TUESDAY
Evening shave for Tomorrow
A repeat of a very nice straight razor shave from about a week ago using a nice shave cream, Institut Karité (Shea Butter) whipped up into thick lather with the big Omega 48.
Fine 'Platinum' finish….Smooooooth shave!
Have a great Tuesday, all!

This is what happens when you listen to Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin the from Led Zeppelin III album.

This is what happens when you listen to Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin from Led Zeppelin III album when your getting ready for the day.
The Maggard MR8 is so big it can double as a battle axe.

Great song. I'll have to fire it up on a Monday.

Careful, the gates of Valhalla may open up and pull you through. Next thing you know you will be there overlord.

Good Morning folks, today's SOTD as follows,

Pearl Open Comb head/SABI T-1 handle.
Polsilver Super Iridium blade.
Chinese Badger hair brush.
Old Spice shaving cream.
Old spice AS Splash.
360 Red cologne.

After reading Don Macs thread on the Pearl OC he recently acquired, I decided it had been too long since I had mine out. People, if you haven't tried a Pearl OC razor, you should. They are a fantastic shave tool. Aggressive and efficient. I love mine. I managed a two pass BBS with no touch up. No injuries either. Here's the photo-



Enjoy your day folks!
