OK Darkbulb...I like the pic, but what was the shave? And what's the lion's head handle on that pot? Come on, man...spill the beans on the pot and the soap, and everything else!

Nice heads up on the Tuff AS ...not one I've heard of but I'm definitely going to try some!
Today's SOTD: Dusy Kabinett, MÜHLE Synth, MÜHLE R41, Voskhod & Tüff Rasierwasser to finish.
Received my R41 from Shavestation today (thanks Stuart) so thought i'd give it a bash. The MÜHLE synth made a beautiful super slick lather from the rose scented Kabinett, having read what a beast the R41 is I decided to load up a blade I know to be forgiving (Voskhod.) I tentatively began my first pass and... Its a kitten! Yes you can feel the blade on your face but as a SR user that actually gave me more confidence to throw it around, the result was BBS in 2 passes with no cuts, weepers or irritation - Just what the doctor ordered. Finished off with some Tüff "Herb" AS splash, scent is definitely old school and it gives a nice refreshing post shave feel with no dryness, highly recommended for the price.
Lovely combination there greybeard.Pot of the day...this one I keep my Cella in...
The shave: Glyce pre-shave wash + Proraso Red pre-shave cream / Cella applied with 'The Duke' / removed with EJ89/Braveheart/Nacet / Pinaud Clubman Vanilla AS + Nivea balm
Cella is a supremely affordable high quality croap...It has few competitors at the price (or even higher prices) and smells fantastic...I will always keep some in stock. Clubman Vanilla goes great with Cella.
Happy shaves y'all!

Thanks darkbulb...great pic and excellent pot! Yup...looks more like a horse...I'm envious as hell..do you have shaving soap in it or do you use it as a lathering bowl?
As good a use as any!It's a bit too narrow and deep for me to use as a lathering bowl. I use it to soak my brush before the shower.
Greetings
Please enlighten me regarding that razor at first glance I thought it was a frameback but it appears to be some sort of honing guide to increase the angle; I'm confused!
Regards
Dick.

I stand corrected!..Gillette blues are a excellent blade, as are most of the Russian made blades, especially Voskhods.,super value super shaves.@Palmolive fox Yes I know that's not today's shave, but I'm just signed into TSR, so I was excited to post something for the first timeBtw I used a Bleue Gillette blade bought in France but made in Russia.
