@Hanover - High quality b&w, Mark. The color accent, the highlighted corner backgound texture, the convolutions of the brush handle and the shadowings of the bottle and razor are riveting.

Thanks Ron. Have a great day

Great photos and posts all day long, gents. Thanks to all who snapped a picture or posted a written SOTD.


@PACO GALAN - A change of pace shave?



Thursday is upon us and I know that great things await the SOTD. Good evening, all.

Occasionally multileaf change is good, correctly appreciating the classic style brush and soap got wonderful shaven.

Hi,
The Claymore single edge razor shaved similarly thorough as the ATT SE, only he can get much cheaper.
He shaved very gently and thoroughly,a wonderful razor.
I have the razor only just , but he is already one of the best.

That's great to hear.

Ron,
The Big Boy has a learning curve that my other DeLuxes did not but once I get the hang of it I think it will be a fantastic whisker wacker! As for the FU Fougere... I'm about to order my third bottle. The bamboo really makes it unique and it lacks the powdery note of most fougere's. I really adore it and so does the woman (which is WAY more important that my opinion)!

It's always great to master a vintage that a little something unique to it. Keep at it and please note its progress. That's a pretty good endorsement for the FU Fougere; I'll keep it in mind.

saTURDay Shave of the Day

Prep - Warm shower
Pre - Massage with Van Yulay pre/shave oil
Soap - VY Black Cavendish
Brush - WolfWhiskers Bespoke Papal Commemorative Silvertip
Razor - J.A.Henckels Friodur INOX 7/8
Post - Massage with VY Black Cavendish aftershave splash

I went to the site to order some other soaps/splashes and saw this new scent. Smells so good, close to Puros La Habana, but a little more fruit. Super performance just like the rest of the VY soaps.

Cool effect Ron, What's the scent on Hot Rod?

Cool effect Ron, What's the scent on Hot Rod?

It's Drakkar Noir inspired, with lavender, citrus, berries and a little sandalwood. I definitely got the lavender and citrus out of the jar but not so much during the lathering. I'm not sure if it's still available.

No shave for me today gents- home recovering from some minor surgery. I'll post again when I'm able and in the meantime I will enjoy all of your posts!

Just gives me more time to work on my straight razor honing and planning my triumphant return to shaving LOL!

Hoping for a quick recovery.
