    Fine shave on the first Football Sunday..... OH YEAH!!! 2 pass and touch ups. The lovely Lady gave me a smooch, pat on the rear and said "are you ready for some football babe?" Grabbed my keys, ran out of the house for some wings, coldcuts and beer. Felt like good old Vince Lombardi shouted "Winning isn't everything, It's the only thing". Hallelujah!!!

    For some reason your pictures don't come through when I try to bring them up on my phone Gus. I'll see if it comes up on my laptop.

    Maybe because I copied and pasted it from another forum to save time. I deleted the pic and reloaded with a new version. Try it out..... :happy088:

    Wish I was going there! But I will be home with a couple of Bud's of mine. Reason why I ran out for the wings and eats and beverages. Need prep time to get it going. Besides, a wide screen gives me the best view. Bar None!

    Completely missed your question on this Doug. To be honest, there is really not much of a difference in whether they are recessed or raised. Even smooth finished bowls come through for me. The lather does build a little faster in the bowls/dishes with recesses or raised ridges or nubs. I just loved the looks to be honest. I can build lather from a gold molded chalice to a half cut coconut shell!;)

    Todays post is from yesterday and today both. Every time I sat down yesterday to post my SOTD the Wife would say "What about....?" or "I thought we were.....?". The only thing I could say was "Yes Dear." This is then my SOTD for the 9th & 10th of September.

    First: SOTD for
    9 SEptember
    Shave #7 on the Treet

    Pre-Shave: Hot Shower
    Brush: 28mm Faux Finest Badger, Frank Shaving(FS)
    Soap: Pipe Smoke, Uncle Jon's
    Lather Bowl: Sundae Dish, The Pioneer Woman, Walmart
    Razors:
    1. Superior 1900 LC
    2. GEM Brooklyn 1912
    Blade: Treet (7)
    Post-Shave: Cold Water rinse and Stetson AS

    I got a large amount of decent lather out of the new Pipe Smoke soap. I switched back to the Superior 1900 as I didn't have very much whisker growth and was concerned with the aggression level of the GEM. I believe the GEM to be more aggressive then the 1900 LC. After the first pass I found that the aggression level of a razor is relative to the technique used with that razor. I had the wrong angle with the LC is putting nicely. So I pulled the blade out of the LC and put it back in the Brooklyn 1912. Did two more passes with it. Finished of the shave with a cold water rinse than some Stetson AS. Trying to win favor with the Wife(didn't work). This did leave me with another smooth shave. Just to think I got this razor back at the beginning of June. I used it once or twice and put it up. It had teeth and we didn't see eye to eye. Now I am getting shaves that would make a dolphin jealous.

    Second: SOTD for
    10 SEptember
    Shave #8 on the Treet

    Pre-Shave: Hot Shower
    Brush: 25mm Maseto Shaving(MS) Synthetic
    Soap: Pipe Smoke, Uncle Jon's
    Lather Bowl: Sundae Dish, The Pioneer Woman, Walmart
    Razor: GEM Brooklyn 1912
    Blade: Treet (8)
    Post-Shave: Cold Water rinse and Rose Petal, Thayers Witch Hazel

    Today's shave I wanted to use a different brush with the Uncle Jon's. Yesterdays lather I thought, didn't have very much slickness to it, but I chocked that up to the brush being on the dry side. I started this shave by soaking the brush in the lather bowl verses the smaller cup I normally soak it in. This means I had left over water in the lather dish. Today's lather was a bit wetter and a little slicker. I did a three pass shave that left me smooth and a little bit of irritation under my Adams apple but a DFS all in all. I would chock this one up as a win. I guess that makes me "WINNING".

    Razor: Alumigoose w/ iKon Bamboo Handle
    Blade: KAI Captain Titan (3)
    Brush: DFS LE Nathan Clark Envy White Handle Aluminum Color, Anodized Dark Bronze. #41/150
    Soap: Reef Point Soap Admiralty
    A/S: Lucky Tiger, Old Spice
    Decanter: Old Spice Ship's Lantern 1981-1984 ID #3632
    Bowl: Symmetrical Pottery Starry Night Dottie

    Is it the brush, is it the soap, or is it the bowl? Hard to say, but all 3 work very well together to produce an excellent lather. Three passes with a minor touch up for a very near BBS.
    The iKon handle is a great little handle.
