Some excellent pics so far, keep up the good work everyone :thumbup1:


Merkur Futur
Laser Ultra stainless
Men-u Synthetic
Trumper's Sandalwood soap
C&E Sandalwood balm

great shave today, used a balm instead of an alcohol splash. I get great results with the balms but after a few days I tend to break out with acne.
 
No shave today apparently, just Kouros.

The tranlsation i came up with for the Ad is as follows:
"the living gods have their scent, Kouros"

You're making me want to switch to the dark side with these razors of yours!

How's the LL Patchouli?

I'll be interested in your thoughts on Kouros

Come on over, the water is fine!

The Patchouli is great. Like all the LL scents I've tried, it is only tangentially about the component it is named for. What's more, Basenotes has it listed as a feminine scent. No way. All dry birch tar and leather. Eventually some Patchouli emerges, but this cologne is all about birch tar.
 
Pre-opera (Carmen in HD from the Met in NYC) shave:

British Rocket / Gillette Sharpedge (Day 2 ) / GFT Limes SS / Thayer's / Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS / Nivea ASB / L'Occitane Vetyver EDT

First have with the GFT Limes - very, very nice shave. Excellent lather and the scent is great.

:thumbup: Great find (Nice Brush). How do you like the soap.

the soap - Mama's Cannabis Fragrance - is terrific! I don't know what the real thing smells like, but the soap sure smells good!


and the brush is really nice, too - I like the vintage guys as much as the newer ones - generally not as dense (the knots are smaller than we see nowadays, generally, it's been my experience, blah blah) - but I like 'em!
 
My first SOTD post!

My new scuttle came yesterday so I used it today for the first time :)
