SOTD Tabula Gratulatoria - November 2011

[Optometrist]

Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: Simpson Chubby 1
Razor: Friodur 721/2
Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller Linen/English Bridle
Soap/Cream: Cella
After shave: Alt Innsbruck
Results: Todays shave started nicely WTG, but at the XTG/ATG pass the need of a touch up was pretty obvious, the blade was tugging, and the shave wasn't as comfortable as usual. But still better than my first few shaves

Oh man! That shave must have been bad judging by that blade!!!

 

[MarkStar]

Just excellent!

Thank you.

That brush looks even more appealing in B/W. Spotted the colour splash on the EdC label!!! Nicely done, Zee!

You mean you didn't get any uptake on the Arko last night, Robert?!! Those kids could have been educated at the same time into future wet shaving!!!

I think the smell must have scared most of them away from wetshaving altogether . What have I done . Didn't even get the chance to make my case

A beautifully composed shot here, Bela! How do you find the Cade cream? I used it once on its own. Very slick, but with very little lather to speak of.

Thank you David. I find the Cade cream very well, a bit fat but it's good in cold weather. You're right, a little more need, to enough foam. You can see the difference between the two tube on the photo.
Cheers,
Béla

​

Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 26mm Rudy Vey TGN Grade A Silvertip Badger w/ Kingwood handle
Razor: 15/16" Filarmonica "Doble Temple" #14, Full Hollow Ground, Spike Point
Honing (Refresh) regimen: 5 (light) laps on CrOx treated Premium IV Bridle leather
Strop: 0/60 laps (Tony Miller Heilroom Horse hide linen/leather)
Soapreme: Martin de Candre Shave Soap + Glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol)
After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue AS
After Shave Balm: Martin de Candre Oil of Coprah
Cologne: Martin de Candre "Eau de Lavende" EdT
Results: Spectacular shave with the Filarmonica and the MdC lineup. I also got my lovely TM strop yesterday (has quite the draw). It gave the Fili quite a nice finish after the CrOx run. I cannot think of a better way to spend my "Me" time in the man cave. But time does fly when you're having fun. I felt cheated somewhat - this exercise was over before it began. Nevertheless, I am sporting a smooth and zero irritation face

.

I miss being fully engaged with you guys, but I see the light at the end of the tunnel (soon, real soon). Have an AMAZING Wednesday gentlemen

.

The Fili and MdC are a great combination, Robert! It's a heavy blade that just goes through whiskers like no other. Nice shot. We need you back!
