View attachment 20389 SOTD Friday 26th August 2016. Good morning to all of you in The Shaving Room.

Prep..shower
Pre shave..bloom water
Razor..Hone type 15
Blade..Astra SP #2
Brush..Kent BK12
Soap.. Blue's goat milk
Post shave..thayers AF WH
EDC..Tabac

A predictable and wonderful shave from the H15 and Astra SP, three passes + clean up and was left with a face as smooth as silk.
Finnished off with my usual splash of Thayers and a few dabs of Tabac behind ears, back of neck and on my wrists.
Feeling fully refreshed and ready for the day.

I'm hoping you will all have a fabulous Friday.
Over and out.

Felicitations, one and all...

Today's event:

Pre: Shower and Bulldog Face Wash. Proraso M & E pre-shave
Bowl: Steve Woodhead Ceramics
Brush: RazoRock Plissoft Disruptor 22mm
Cream: Cyril R. Salter French Vetiver
Razor: Schick Injector G8
Blade: Schick Injector, ex China #3
Post: alum block, Thayer's Rose and Aloe Vera WH, Proraso M & E pre-shave, Fine Platinum a/s
Fragrance: Guerlain Vetiver EdT
Music: John Foxx, Cathedral Oceans

There's a strange, warm round thing peeping out from behind periodic clouds in Edinburgh today; and I always equate vetiver with warmer weather (unless it's Encre Noire or Sycomore). The 22mm is performing beautifully; I've yet to try it with the soaps (MWF, SV, etc.).

The Schick's in a class of its own. Plenty care and the lightest (yet confident) touch has resulted in a very close yet BBS shave. The alum highlighted just a tingle and no more. Finished up with nice toning from the Fine, and 4 sprays of Guerlain (chest, wrists, back of neck). Grassy...

Weekend's nearly here, folks. All the best.
