Thanks for nice comments, Chris, Celestino, Dave; nice images, everyone!
No shave for me today.
And it was another mostly drizzly day, so I took a gamble to get an Alaskan haircut, which turned out fine, especially given what little she had to work with!

Wonderful Pic Sarimento!
thanks, Stefano!
by the way, I also experienced my first Alaskan earthquake today as well, which fortunately was just a mild roller in the Talkeetna-Denali region!

SOTD 29 July 2015
Let's start this week with some challenges: going for fresh if it's possible and also going with our favorite brushes. Let's see my personal chart.
What I can say it could be mad for someones: I have badger but I'm not fond of badger.
But I'm fond of boars (the bigger kntos, the better) and I'm liking a lot the synthetics, especially the later productions.
#3 in my personal chart. The Omega 49. 1cm shorter than the mythic Omega 48 broom. A little but stiffer.
Again Not a bank breaker but just a great latherer and performer... Can be used for any soaps even triple milled, croaps or creams with the same success.
Pre: A good shower, Menthol Dope Oil and Proraso White Preshave
Brush: Omega 49 Red
Razor: Rockwell 6S Razor @2
Blades: Rapira Sweedish Supersteel (3)
Soap: PannaCrema Namaste
AS: Floid Blue / Stirling Lemon Chill
Moisturizer: My home made cream "Skin Bomb"with shea butter, lanolin, wheat germ oil, avocado oil and argan oil.
Music: Riding Giants - Cristiano Parato
EDT: 4711
Have a wonderful shave and a fresh day to all gents!

Pre-Shave: Occams pre-shave soap, cold water
Razor: Wolfman WR1-SB with WRH2
Blade: Ladas Super Stainless (2)
Brush: Paladin Chief
Soap: Barrister & Mann Cheshire
Post-shave: Alum, Ghanese Organic Unrefined Shea Butter, Stirling Vetiver alcohol free Witch Hazel
My current favorite brush is this Palladin PK-47 LE I recently acquired from our own Ken @Chiefbroom's Dark-Holler-Design-Works.
After six or seven lathers it's really developing some serious hooked gel-soft tips.
It's got just enough backbone for my face, and the flow-thru is awesome.
Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Pre: hot shower, hot towel, frankincense pre-shave oil
Razor: Fendrihan DE
Blade: Astra SP
Brush: Semogue Boar
Cream: RazoRock Classic
Post: Rose WH, coconut oil
This was my first time shaving with RazoRock Classic...it is a nice product, as I expected based on reviews I have read. The scent if reminiscent of Cella...marzipan and something else I can't quite put my finger on. The scent was a bit stronger than I would like...but it seems to dissipate quickly after rinsing. Lathers well, lubricates well, but I did find it left my face feeling a bit dry. I did a 2 pass WTG shave...overall nice clean shave.

J.A. Henckels Friodur 17 1/2, 7/8 Full Hollow, Round Point
J.A. Henckels Friodur 17 1/2, 7/8 Full Hollow, Round Point
J.A. Henckels straight razors have always been among my favorite ones, in particular those of the Friodur line. My very first stainless steel straight razor was in fact a Friodur and it allowed me to appreciate the performance of stainless steel in straight razor shaving. I don't still understand why many experienced straight razor users would not suggest a stainless steel razor to a beginner. When I bought my very first Friodur - it was about sixteen years ago and it was a 70 1/2 model - I had very little experience about straight razors, I liked it from the very first moment and I had no problem but a perfect shave. Of course, this Friodur 17 1/2 is no exception and it is capable of giving an absolutely impeccable shave and, yes, I would certainly suggest it to a beginner, although I believe the 70 1/2 would be even better because of its smaller size.
- Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
- Soap: Tcheon Fung Sing Green Tub
- Brush: Frank Shaving Finest Badger Chubby Brush - 30 mm knot
- Bowl: Old Barber Bowl
- Strop: Mastro Livi Loom Strop and Hand Palm
- Razor: J.A. Henckels Friodur 17 1/2, 7/8 Full Hollow, Round Point
- Post-Shave: Alum Block
- Post-Shave: Umbrian Extravirgin Olive Oil
- After Shave: Mennen Skin Bracer
That's a great looking razor and set up.
