SOTD Tabula Gratulatoria - March 2012

[Optometrist]

Happy Friday you guys!
Early wake up call today so just a quick snapshot of the shave
Razorock Mughetto di Bologna
Rudy Vey Chubby 2 clone
Fatboy w/ Shark (2)
4711
Burberry Brit (not pictured)

Even though the Shark was only on it's second shave it didn't seem sharp at all tugging the hair instead of cutting them. I didn't have time to switch the blade but I still managed a near BBS shave. Have a great Friday guys! I know my next two days off are well deserved!

A stunning close-up, Chris! And enjoy your weekend off.

Good Morning to All & Happy Friday!

Semogue 2011 LE FBristle 2 (#88) | EJ BChrome w/ Red IP | Proraso Crema Pre E Dopo Barba | Razorock LOA: Chianti Lavender | AV Ice Blue Cooling After Shave


I face lathered today using the Marco Method, you know what that means... Lather explosion everywhere! But it was oh so refreshing paired with Aqua Velva after the shave. I thought the scents mended well and that hit of menthol was just so nice. On this nice sunny day it has started out great and it shall continue. The title was just calling out for some Italian, so please excuse me if it sounds or reads ungrammatically correct. Well my friends, I hope you all have wonderful day and weekend!

​

Did you have a mop and a bucket on standby, Balaji?!! Never a shortage of lather with this method. Your pics are simply amazing, my friend!

So will I need 2 of those sticks, Erwin? What's your opinion?

I think two Sticks are the a b s o l u t e Minimum, David. You always have to consider: It could be a sudden supply shortage!!!
Søren is, btw, of the same opinion!

Is the KL AS the same scent as the soap? Lovely pic as always

The AS lotion is a more concentrated version of lavender than the soap, I think. It's a pure lavender that works very well as an AS but fades quickly and doesn't interfere with my edt. i really like it.

David, thanks for complimenting the pic. I am fairly new here and have found B&B to be very welcoming. I'm so pleased to be a part of the SotD thread -- all the pictures are so well done. And you do a very nice job of making everyone feel welcome. Thanks for that.

Thank you very much my friend, i'm flattered! There really is no shortage with that method.

Thank you. I remember my first days of posting in the SOTD forum, and I felt a little intimidated by the quality of the pics compared to my early attempts. May I say that you have considerable talent in composing your shots, and newcomer or not, they can easily pass as long term experienced contributions. Well done, is what I say, and please keep these excellent shots coming.

Thanks, Bill It might well have been, had I not decided to refresh my technique with the Merkur. It's been quite some time since it has seen the light of day, and amazingly it took a whole pass to feel confident using it again!

Long time no see, Amund! And you come back with a pic like this!

Thank you David
