Welcome to the SOTD
and
New Theme for the week.

This weeks theme will be

"Double Edge"

For those of you that shave daily with a "DE" this will more than likely be a run-of-the-mill free week, however for those that shave with a straight on a daily basis this could be a bit of a challenge.

Open Comb, Safety Bar, New, Long Comb, Short Comb, TTO, Adjustable, or any Double Edged Razor
Show us your DE's


** As always these theme weeks are just a suggestion to add variety to your Shave of the day. We encourage you however to post whatever your wish**


Have a great week Gentlemen

CRSW Bergamot & Bay today. 20 seconds to load the Thater Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new 7 O’Clock Blue SP in the Fat Boy. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Fine Platinum.

Menthol Monday
Gillette NEW LC "Berkshire" / Gillette 7 O'Clock Black (3)
Crown Shave Co. Cream for Vagabonds, Gentlemen & Ruffians
Erskine B-505 Imported Badger - Vintage original knot
Every Man Jack Face Lotion - Mint
Brut Original AS & Cologne


The NEW performs yet again. The only way to get a bad shave with a Gillette NEW is to load it with a dull blade. The Crown cream has a menthol kick with a minty scent, and is very slick. This is the first time I used the Vintage Erskine, after I gave it a shampoo bath and a couple of test lathers by bowl lathering over the weekend. I now have two Vintage Badger brushes and they have the softest tips of any of my Badger's. They are quite a bit more floppy than new knots, but make excellent lather and feel great when face lathering.

Well, looking from the front it has an edge, and looking from the back it has an edge - that must make it a double edge :wink:
Anyway it works for me :biggrin1:
