SOTD Tabula Gratulatoria - June 2011

Not open for further replies.
I am a little late posting this one :sad:, but allow me to kick it off with these superb shots from this week's SOTD thread.



This week is dedicated to Italy. We want to see your Italian shaving stuff: soaps, creams, brushes, aftershaves, colognes, blades and whatever else you desire to put in your stunning photographic creations! Therefore, the sole rule to follow is to add at least one shaving item in your pics that has been manufactured in the "Bel Paese" (traditional way of indicating my country that means "Wonderful Land"). VIVA L'ITALIA! :thumbup:

Well, it's in Marco's residence, so at least one person in Italy uses it!:biggrin1: And Proraso splash complements it spectacularly. Lovely photo, Emanuel!:thumbup1:
 
Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 24mm Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger
Razor: 6/8" Maestro Livi, Full Hollow Ground, Round Point (Amboyna Burl scales)
Strop: 40/60 laps (Neil Miller linen / SRD Premium IV leather)
Überlather: Acca Kappa "1869" Shave creme + Acca Kappa "1869" Shave Soap + Glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer
After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue AS
Cologne: Acca Kappa "1869" EdC
Results: An all Italian shave today. I don't use this Livi all that often these days

, but she's a great shaver. Refreshed her edge on the Nakayama Asagi last night and she was popping hairs with barely even touching them (phew
proxy.php
!!!...this thing can take a heck of an ultra sharp edge for sure). The Acca Kappa combination is always an ultra luxurious experience I can count on every single time
proxy.php
. Finished things off with a touch of Floid, followed by the AK "1869" EdC...BBS, smooth and sporting a nice big smile on my face

I don't have much Italian shaving stuff, so I compensate with other Italian objects, today, a tiny dresser my mother in law bought in Italy a couple hundred years ago.

Lovely, Rune. I'm guessing you mean the dresser is 200 years old?!!!
 
Lovely, Rune. I'm guessing you mean the dresser is 200 years old?!!!

Thank you David, according to my mentioned mother in law she got it 40-50 years ago, but she always say that she is so terribly old, so it's meant humorous. (She takes some interest in my SOTD shots, so I often show her some of my posts when she's over)
 
In Memory of Mark (aka, Blugill)
I miss you my friend (Texas Style)


A late post (B&B was down)

Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush (Rudy Vey): 26mm w/ TGN Silvertip (Grade A) Badger
Razor: 11/16" J.R. Torrey, Full Hollow Ground, Spike Point
Strop: 45/60 laps (Neil Miller linen / SRD Premium IV leather)
Überlather: Acca Kappa "1869" Shave creme + Acca Kappa "1869" Shave Soap + Glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer
After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Amber AS
Cologne: Acca Kappa "Muschio Bianco" EdC
Results: I couldn't sleep much last night. I wish I had a GEM or other SE to properly dedicate this shave to Mark. But knowing how much he liked American steel, I took out this Torrey in his honor. This razor already holds a special place in my collection. After refreshing her edge on the Asagi w/Nagura progression, she gave me the kind of shave Mark would have been proud
proxy.php
. Let's just call it BBS and as smooth as a catfish's belly (sorry Mark, but without the smell
proxy.php
). I will miss your "colorful" and descriptive posts my friend.
