I have used same shaving soap as on @sandstone picture – Edwin Jagger Limes & Pomegranate.

I have also used Mühle Sophist shaving set – razor with R89 head and silvertip badger brush.

Lather has been prepared in the Thiers Issard inox bowl.

Have a great Labor Day Holiday!

Filarmonica Medallon Taurino Capote
Vie-Long Beehive ST
Aquanjel Shaving Cream (Israel) (great scent and performance)
Captain's Choice Bay Rum AS
LAB AS

(A few of zee shave favorites -- that Filarmonica has a super sharp factory edge from decades ago and never touched a stone since acquired, best in arsenal - now what was that secret Spanish steel, special technique and fantastic stone or whatever they used. . . would like to replicate their sharpened edge)

Hmm some of the remaining flowers in the garden are starting to droop - is fall on the way?


Nice pics and posts to begin the week!

Nothing fancy...

Thank You WiteQ, Celestino and Dave!
Excellent start of the week Gentlemen!
