So for this weeks theme, my shaves are going to be incredible. The reason why I say that is b/c I know exactly what products are going to be. I know I get to use my all time fav MWF which is from the UK. As well as the following Artisan SS by Sharon Nanny's Silly Soaps which smell just awesome. And Mike's Naturals SS which is like MWF IMO that is scented. I'm pretty confident what others will be using as well b/c its obvious with this week's theme for SOTD! You all have a wonderful day friends!

I knew from the day this theme was announced that my shave today would be with one of my all time favorites, Arlington. It was even better because the razor belonged to my great-grandfather. It's the only Sheffield razor I have (yet) and the edge is smooth as silk thanks to mycarver who did the restoration.
What a great way to start the week!
