I've tossed that idea around. It's such a lovely little village here, but I always feel weird about taking razor pictures around town. BUT, I may just get adventurous one of these days?

* Great to hear, Cash. You get used to all of the odd stares from folks and you, sometimes, get a good conversation from a few older gents! :thumbup:



Wonderful pictures to start a new week in SOTD thread,gentlemen!

SoTD 2014.09.22 - Sophisto-Goose


TFS Italian Fern Anniversary soap w/ Pav Synth
Mongoose on Muhle Sophist Horn handle w/ Feather Pro
Floid Amber w/ Cold River balm

Nice change of pace w/ the Sophist handle - much lighter than the Mongoose standard gear. But the length is good for me. I really enjoy the fresh fern scent on the TFS - nice stuff.


Whis-Ku:
Monday morning shave,
Using some swell stuff here lads,
Go make your week count!

Monday morning


Prep - Noxzema & hot towel
Lather - Cella Extra Extra Purissima & suribachi
Brush - Baton 105 refurbished with TGN 2-band, 24/44
Razor - Wade & Butcher 13/16 India Steel & Garland 5/8 Improved Eagle

2 pass
Warm water rinse & cold water splash
Alum block & Witch-hazel AS

First shave in 8 days this morning, Wade & Butcher wedge one side and Garland hollow ground the other. The edges on both razors are very keen and both shaves were perfectly smooth. Coin toss really - the hollow needed a little more push, but the results from both were very comfy.

Wonderful pictures to start a new week in SOTD thread,gentlemen!:thumbup:

@mkiraly what are your impressions from the shaving with Merkur 45 Bakelite?I wanted to buy it,but unfortunately out of stock in my country.Maybe someday return to sales.
Thanks for the props witeq, I still say you and the other posters are my inspiration!

My Merkur "Red & Black" requires some adjustments in technique:
The extreme curve of the head and large blade exposure call for a steeper shaving angle.
I need to apply some (not too much) pressure during a pass; you can't use the weight of the razor to cut, as it has no weight!
I use it when I need to get out the door in a hurry.
It's a fun little razor, cheap as well, I think I paid $12.00 at a (women's) United Beauty Supply store here.
