does the fitjar come in that bowl or did you buy it separately someplace else grate it in there? My cousin is bringing me some fitjar's from norway and if that bowl is an option I'm going to tell him to get it cuz it's really sweet looking

Fabulous shave today, David. I love La Toja soap and always follow up with Floid Mentolado Suave. I like that "all Spanish" feeling... Regarding the Shavemac 177 Silvertip, that's simply a great brush.

Razor: MoDoSo Solingen 6/8 rescaled in ebony
Strop: Ambrose Spanish Horse 25/50
Brush: Vulfix Grosvenor+Simpson superbadger
Lather: Woods of Windsord, old fórmula with tallow
AS: B.Kamins Bio Maple Balm
EdT: Fragonard Cologne Grand Luxe
.
Summary: Yesterday I touched up this edge, this is not a great razor, but it can shave with efficiency. The soap is one of my favs, and after this great lather. The balm is not a maple syrup, is a fresh balm, with extracts from the maple, it's good but nothing special....but....those canadians can make everything with maple. Fragonard is classy, perfect for daily use.

Josè, your pics shouldn't be posted in the SOTD forum... They should be exposed in the Prado Museum in Madrid! EXCELLENT, my friend!

Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Brush: FS Finest Badger
Soap: Tabac
Razor: GEM SE
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel
A/S: Old Spice
Result: Well to be honest I like the photo better than the shave.
I dont blame the razor I think the blades weren't up to the task. They were sold in a Chemist's in the shaving section but labeled as single edge scraper blades. Unfortunately the shave was very poor, but I have had no luck finding Single Edge blades, even on line I haven't found any yet. I recently unearthed this Gem razor in my Dads garage, it belonged to his Dad so for sentimental reasons I'd like to have it usable. Any tips on acquiring SE blades please let me know.​

Hope you guys have better shaves today.
Grant
