<<< SOTD “Rare Shaving Gear Week” August 21st - 27th, 2023 >>>

[SharpieB]

Hi B&Bers!

It is time yet again for another SOTD Theme Week!

Let’s Celebrate the rare and seldom seen shaving items from your collections and shaving dens.

We want you to show us items that we don’t see every day... Gillette Psycho or double ring Razors, weird vintage brushes and blades, out of production soaps, aftershaves, Fragrances, etc. Even vintage shaving posters/ads!

Let’s have some fun this week and educate the B&B community by showing some of your shaving items we rarely get to see.

P.S… Being creative and having fun IS of course mandatory as usual. Sticking with the theme is NOT mandatory. Feel free to post any SOTD photo or just tell us about your shave.

The rarer the better!

Pre-Shave	Face wash with Neutrogena Liquid Face Soap
Soap/Cream	Martin de Candre
Brush	Omega Boar (81052)
Bowl	Captain’s Choice Copper
Razor	Timeless SS SB .68
Blade	Kai
Aftershave	Thayers WH & Proraso ASB
Fragrance	Beverley Hills Polo Club
Rating	10/10
Comments	This is the second flawless shave with my Timeless SS SB .68 with a Kai blade. The result was a perfect shave with no nicks, cuts, or irritation. The brush that came up in my rotation was a boar brush: Omega 81052. I change brushes with every shave and have the brushes all lined up in a draw. The hole in the MdC is getting larger; today was the 198th shave. My next soap will be one that doesn’t last as long as the MdC! A perfect shave. Have a great day and week, folks.
