NOVELTIES, SOTD "themed week" March 5th - March 11th 2012

Hot Shower
Marlboro Soap
Modified 6/8" Gold Dollar
Witch Hazel
Captain's Choice Bay Rum

I've been laying off the SOTD pictures the past few months as I had decided to grow a beard. I love shaving, (no, I really do), but I had decided to try growing a Van Dyke goatee and that morphed into a very nice looking beard. But spring is around the corner, and I was looking like a homeless guy, so it was time to go.

Before:



During:


...And I didn't take an after photo because my mug is pretty boring when I'm clean shaven. I look like I'm 12! Guess I'll have to actually show my ID at the liquor store again.

It was pretty cool taking that beard off with a straight razor. It worked like a shovel!

Pre-Shave: Hot towels
Brush: Semogue 830
Razor: Vintage Dovo 6/8
Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller Linen/Kanayama Cordovan
Soap: Cella
After shave: Str8fencer's Florida Water
Results: It's been a insanely busy week so I hadn't shaved since monday. Tried a Cnat edge on the Dovo, and had a tremendeous shave today, two passes DFS+, this old 'gal really delivers!
