🎵 🎸 🥁 🎻 🎷 🎶 SOTD - “Favorite Music" Theme Week - April 7th to 13th, 2025 🎵 🎸 🥁 🎻 🎷 🎶

Hello, B&Bers!

This SOTD Weekly Theme is all about your Favorite Music. It could be an album cover, picture, concert ticket, a music themed soap or aftershave - the sky is the limit!

This week’s theme is simple… we just want to see you showcase your favourite Music. Whether it be Rock and Roll, Classical, Country & Western, Opera, Jazz or even Metal or Rap. If you love Iron Maiden, Post Malone, Chris Stapleton, Thelonious Monk or Yo Yo Ma, incorporate them and/or their music into your SOTD posts!

Nothing music themed? Tell us what music you are listening to while you shave, otherwise still post pics of your usual SOTD or just tell us all about it. Let’s see lots of Music themed posts this week!

As always, the weekly themes are just a suggestion and sticking with the theme is NOT mandatory but encouraged. Just have some fun with it!

Let’s see your music themed pics/posts!

*Travel Shave*
Pre: Hot Shower, Proraso White Pre-shave
Razor: 1959 Gillette Fatboy @2
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (1, corked)
Cream: Geo. F. Trumper Eucris
Brush: RE Acrylic Best Badger
Post: TOBS Mr. Taylor’s AS Balm, Pinaud Citrus Musk

Music Today: 90’s Country mix on Spotify (Mark Chestnutt, Neal McCoy, Daryl Singletary)

9.5/10 - this could be a 9.75, but I’m on the fence about Eucris and am waiting to see if I have a reaction because I felt a mild burning/tingling on my cheeks when lathering. Though I have been using a synthetic brush lately, I used my badger brush which isn’t that rough, but it could be from that as well. I’ll give it another shave or two but, regardless, fantastic shave today, very close and no weepers, cheers gents! 😎
