SOTD "Saint Sue Auction Winnings" Theme Week 3-9 November 2014

Gentlemen,

Welcome to the first of two "Saint Sue Auction Winnings" theme weeks. If you bid and won any of the wonderful items in the auction, thanks for your support of such an important cause. Now is the time to show us what you won!

This is the sixth photo I have taken in four years, but I want to document what I am doing. Nothing nearly as good as your photos. Remember: 6 photos, 4 years.

Nothing from the Saint Sue Auction; I lost on everything I bid for, but sent my local breast cancer research institute a small check.

BBS late-night shave:

Hot shower, 4711 soap, Earthy Delight herbal shampoo, including whiskers

Tcheon Fung Sing Bergamotto Neroli RasoZero Crema Pre-Rasatura pre-shave cream

Vintage brush, purchased in London at Floris, 1971. Ivory handle then, now dark brown. Newly rebadgered by Larry at Whipped Dog, silvertip, 22 x 55 mm

Hand-made Utilemud bowl, 6 in. x 3.5 in., red exterior, gently ribbed lavender interior; from Etsy

Tcheon Fung Sing Bergamotto Neroli Forte hard shaving soap

Fatboy, Gillette 195 F-4, 3rd quarter, 1960; exact model as my first razor ever, as a 14 year-old

Astra SP 1st shave

Cold rinse

Osma alum block

Cold rinse

4711 cologne, used as a splash

Tcheon Fung Sing Bergamotto Neroli Forte after-shave balm

This is my favorite, desert-island set-up, but I still bounce around with a bunch of colognes, soaps, creams, and ***. My every-day face treat, an almost-empty Geo. F. Trumper Coral Skin Food bottle, lurks behind.

And say "hi" to my deco frog blade bank.

Sorry, non-auction.
