    Yesterday morning was stupid hectic and I had other things going on during the day so I decided to combine yesterday and this mornings SOTDs in one. I repeated the set up, except for razors and blades...

    SOTD Wednesday 8-13-2014

    5/8 William Elliott, Full Hollow, Spike Point
    Proraso PSC
    Tiki 7 Seas SS (Thanks Guy)
    Georgetown Scuttle
    Rubbermade 200-4 Barbershop Boar
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Gold Bond Moisturizing Lotion
    Old Spice Classic ASL

    The Tiki 7 Seas SS smells wonderful in the tub. The scent is a little more subdued when lathered. The lathering isn't as foamy as some Shave Soaps; more of a viscus cream but it has great properties as far as the cushion and glide goes. All in all a great SS with a great scent! I had to finish with the Old Spice to keep the Ocean theme going. The Wm Elliott was superb!

    Love the look of the 'ivory' tang on that razor, Bruce.
    I have a 'mystery' maker razor with a similar tang treatment in the restore queue. Hopefully it will turn out as nice as that Willie Elliott! :happy088:

    Thanks to all you kind gents for wishing me a happy birthday, I did have a really great day. Although last night at midnight I couldn't sleep, so I got up and tried to lather Trumpers Eucris, determined to get this soap to work I face lathered it three times, and still couldn't get it to lather. I have been using Nivea sensitive balm for years and last night after all that face lathering I applied the nivea to my sore face, it burned. That has never happened before. Too much brushing I think
    Today's shave was going to be with Trumpers Rose soap, another gift from my mum, but you'll never guess what happened, couldn't get that to work either so -
    Lather - Proraso red
    Brush - Semogue
    Blade - Gillette silver blue
    Aftershave - pinaud clubman's special reserve
    Razor - Pils

    Great shave but my face was sore from too much face lathering trying to get the Trumpers to work, or I am not using the Pils right.

    Loving the Pils razor, can't imagine using anything else, it really lives up to the hype. Also enjoying Clubman's, it smells great and leaves my skin leaving nice and smooth :)

    Cold Water Shave

    Dove Men's Face Wash
    Cella Crema da Barba
    Semogue 1305 Boar Brush
    Schick Eversharp I2 Hydro-Magic
    Schick Stainless
    CWR
    Thayers Rose Petal WH
    Mennen SB AS

    Today, I continue to shave completely with cold water. The Cella Crema da Barba face-lathered very easily with my Semogue 1305 Boar brush. Two passes with my Schick Eversharp I2 Hydro-Magic and a Schick Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Aqua Velva Ice Blue after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... What a nice shave! I'm liking this cold water shaving.

    That's correct. The Proraso Blue cream is very slightly-mentholated. I bought a tube for my father-in-law recently and he actually enjoys it. He's not a menthol fan, but he says this stuff pleases him a lot because the cooling effect is very discreet.

    I've gotten to 12 shaves (plenty of palm-stropping of the blade) from a Merkur, but opted not to push the limit, nor my luck…
