Ryan, thanks for the kind words and i really do enjoy the SIs. Yes, we do have some fabulous photographers!
Thanks Ravi & celestino for the comments yesterday.
I need to find some time soon to actually start looking more through the SOTD pictures. I'm missing out on a lot of great shots.

Thank you very much gentlemen.
And you are right about its size, it is really big - and I thought the Semogue 2009 LE was large
This has to be one of the most fortunate "misfits" I could have the pleasure of owning. I bought this Filarmonica DT14 as NOS. When it arrived, I was thrilled that it was all it promised to be. It was my first Filarmonica. I sent it off to a very reputable person for honing. He immediately contacted me and told me he'd never seen a DT quite like it. The tang is not stamped, which was evidently common on the older Filarmonica's, but it was the very hollow ground of the earlier DT series. Max Sprecher made the same observation when I showed it to him. Regardless, it is an amazing shaver, and it will never be leaving my island, at least not until I do!
The Filarmonica was paired with a new product for me - Monsavon soap. This mythical French soap is very hard to come by here on this side of the pond. Due to the amazing generosity of a forum member, I was PIF'd a brand new tub. It is a nearly scentless tallowate soap. It performed brilliantly! The soap and razor made sure that I was CBS in 2 passes! I'm ready for my day, are you ready for yours?
Thats a really nice picture Bill.
That Monsavon soap is one I've been trying to get my hands on for a while. I found a few places that would ship it to Ireland but the shipping cost always made it prohibitive. Nice PIF you were on the end of.

Thank you, Keith. I have to admit, I was pretty pleased with this SOTD. Might be one of my favorites I've taken lately! The Monsavon was nice. I need to spend a little time getting to know it, but it seems like a decent soap. I do think it's attained a bit of a status simply because it is so difficult to obtain, but t's not so "special" that you can't get the same performance elsewhere. That said, I am very thankful for and pleased with the PIF!
Yeah, thats pretty much what I've heard about its performance Bill. It's really cheap in France - something like $2.50 I've heard.

Shave of the Day (SOTD) Tech Tuesday December 4, 2012 Prep: Brush soaking in hot water, face washed with Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Anti-Blemish Cleanser, luke warm shower
Razor: Gillette Fat Handle Tech
Blade: Personna Med Prep
Brush: Semogue 820 Boar
Soap: English Fine Shaving Tallow Soap
AS: British Sterling
Post: Cold Water Rinse, Double Splash of Aftershave
The Tech/Med Prep combo provided an effortless and smooth shave. Three passes with some light buffing and I have close to a BBS.
Although I have been on a menthol kick I do not like adding menthol to one of my favorite aftershaves. I find everything about British Sterling to be perfect.
Gentlemen, I am floored with the wonderful pictures!

Sorry gentlemen, but there's no misfit in today's gear - only misfit is, I can't get out on my motorbike until March.
Have a nice day, Gentlemen
I LOVE THIS PIC!!! Today I have ordered the same brush.
I hope it arrives soon.

Fantastic shots!
Thanks celestino! Your photo is very nice as well! I'm looking forward to photos of your newest acquisitions!
Celestino - that Razor is exactly what I had been looking for since I started wetshaving. It let me get rid of almost all my other razors.
Andi, celestino and Bill -- thank you for the compliment.
celestino ... I was looking closely at your photo again this evening ... I didn't realize you were growing Super Iridium shrubs in your backyard!
Hee hee! Great comment, comment! Hee hee.
Today I have ordered the same brush.
I hope it arrives soon.
Thank you.
Depending of what you think is soon - I waited for 3 weeks before it showed up.
Oh yes by the way; the brush is really great

Fantastic! Thanks Soren!
I think, thanks to the Christmas stress, it can be even longer than three weeks.
But ok, I can wait. The longer I look at your picture, the more I like the brush
Really very nice!
