This Rose soap has been absent from my rotation for some time now, and this morning's shave has served a reminder as to just how fabulous it is. Performance, scent, absolutely fantastic. And on a further note, I have been experimenting with the Feather, and this was shave 7. Still no sign of let up in quality of shave, but tomorrow's Italian Theme now requires something different.

Two points worthy of comment?
1) This is my first Sunday straight shave!
Just out of habit I continued to use my DE on Sundays. This was because of my fear, in the early learning days, of perhaps having to go to church with one of my ears hanging off!
2) I found an interesting tip on the Internet (So it must be true!! ) of rubbing a couple of drops of GFT skin food onto the surface of the shaving soap prior to loading the brush. This not only softens the dry soap but the glycerin helps the lather.
End result.......an amazing shave.

A shave of favorites... If these were the only cast of characters available to me, I would not feel at all cheated!
My good wife wanted her garden bench repaired this year, so I stripped it of the old wooden slats, wire brushed and painted the cast iron pieces in the selected yellow, and reassembled with new mahogany seating using SS carriage bolts and hardware...
She's happy...... for now!

Incredible shave and photo, Robert! Manantiales is one supreme soap. Are the aftershave and cologne the same scent as the soap?
Thank you David . As for the Manantiales line, they smell very different from the soap and from each other for that matter. The AS is a different beast altogether. I do prefer the EdC scent to the AS (just by a slight notch). But, all 3 are top notch and complementary. I love this line of scents
A fine, last photo for the week, Rune.
Rune,
This has got to be: (1) a great shave, but also, (2) the BEST vintage shot so far. I would like to see this make it into the finals. Well done maestro
Love that ERN Rune
Keith,
Beautiful vintage creation my friend
Fabulous shave (and vintage shot) Keith . Cyril Salter cremes are really top notch. The Mint is the one I don't have (yet)
New and old. Excellent, Emanuel!
Beautiful shot(s) Emanuel
Emanuel,
What a wonderful setup and a great shave . New puck?
Thanks Robert. I'm sure you'll rectify that at some stage. I much prefer the Mint over the Sublime Citrus I have so the next cream I order will probably be the Cyril Salter Essential Lime but thats a long time down the road due to the amount of creams and soaps I have.
I wasn't a great fan of Marco's idea of 'themed' SOTD's - well mainly the confusion their introduction seemed to create - but now I'm liking the idea. I'm sure there will be weeks when I don't have themed shots, at least this week has made me learn somewhat how to use photoshop
Thanks, Robert.
Yep. Brand new as they come!
It was the first time that I've tried Provence Santé and liked it a lot!
Thank you for your words!
Robert, as always your pics, razors and comments are so well chosen...Thanks for the kind compliments
