Been (are) sick, so no shave since friday, at least I have the pleasure of drooling over all these wonderful SOTD shots!

Thanks for sharing guys :thumbup:
 
Been a while since I posted a SOTD.

Today was:
Musgo Real lime oil soap
Proraso Pre/Post
New York Shaving Company Old St. Patrick SC
Penworks silvertip badger brush
Merkur Progress at 2.5
Feather blade
alum
Witch Hazel
Ogalalla Bay Rum: Lime and Peppercorns.

Been a while since I used the Ogalalla. Nice stuff that I always say I should use more, especially since SWMBO likes it.

4 passes and a DFS+/BBS- with no discomfort.

Good day, gents! (And ladies!):shaving:

. Small, but extremely nimble and agile. No messing around with this blade. The überTabac was überlicious with tons of wholesome and moist lather

. The shave was extraordinary today. My skin felt so smooth, irritation free and soft that I had to remind myself that I had just shaved. The Ogallala gave the fabulous finish to this wonderful shave. The Limes & Peppercorns is a very nice scent. I like it a lot. I think I have figured out how to make the scent last long. Give the bottle a very good shake (I mean very good and vigorous shake - to put the oils into emulsion with the water and alcohol). Pour some in the palm of your hand (not a lot) and rub on face and get a dab of it onto your undershirt (especially the cologne). You will smell this stuff all day long (if not you, then those around you for sure). I received lots of positive comments yesterday. Of course, as with anything, YMMV...don't come blaming me if your skin chemistry is different
