What a way to close the weekend, gentlemen! Thank you for the marvelous photographs and superlative shave descriptions. All were greatly appreciated.


@evnpar - White bleeds into white. I love it. Finely composed photo.
@CT23 - Beautiful picture, Chris. The overhead is an excellent perspective to highlight the splash of color. Who makes that scuttle?
@Navarrsky - Excellent placement, especially of the razor. The Wiborg is a beauty.
@ChrisVanMeer - Thanks for the augmented pic, Chris. Like the overlay and frame.
@Jnatcat - Nice layout, Will. A change of soap I see.
@shm - Like this b&w, Søren. Very nice staggered alignment. Love the shape of the Semogue.
@ronindug - Classy setup. Striking M&F. Love the background.
@Dagwoodz - Quite an appealing arrayment, Josh. How are you holding up with the Musky Blue Willy?
@razorguy - Handsome photo of quality shave gear.
@Cash_Stronomer - Lovely Maggard portrait. I think I'll dust off my MR18C for Monday's shave.
@Clint64 - Superb pic, Clint. An enviable shave.
@Sir_Eider - Attractive array. Quite a useful brush and razor stand.
@mcdig - Splendid display of brush and razor, Mark. Another excellent razor from Elite I see.
@sarimento1 - What a regal picture, Murray. Top tier all the way!
@Bobcat - Quality accoutrements, Bob. The Tech seems pristine.
@Corto - Fine high angle shot, Daniel. Love the treatment.
@troy71mo - Snazzy looking sepia, Troy. Love that scattered arrangement. How is the Option 5 shaving for you?
@nikonNUT - How do you like the Kai in the Eclipse Red Ring? Thanks for the reminder; I'm using Luna for the Monday shave!
@RamBaldi - Welcome. This is your first post to Badger & Blade I see. Excellent photo to start. Beautiful Wolf Whiskers.
@Greyfox - Nice subtle treatment to your pic, Dave. How did you like the Timeless? I've used mine (0.95 OC) twice; love it!
@UngerWoo - That is one fine shave!
@lindyhop66 - Well balanced photo. Quite attractive.
@theos - Striking high angle shot. Love the warm colors. Neat brush.
@xxlpack - The bright central colors of your photo are really enhanced by the dark edging. Very nice.
@eezee - Needless to say, Erich, I love your treatment! Bravo!
@Doug57 - Enticing photo, Doug. So much, in fact, that I just order a bottle of Azzaro!
@skypsyd - Eye-catching photo, Dave. Nicely balanced brush. Soon you can say farewell to the blue shaves....
@Ajwien - Your Wilkinson blade sure is hanging in there!
@cmh737 - That's one sweet shave picture, Chris. I hear the Fine Italian Citrus is a pretty good after shave.
@The Razor - Looks like a classic Proraso shave. Like your bowl/scuttle.
@todas - Talk about an envy shave! Lovely brush; never seen a Mason Pearson before.
@PACO GALAN - Excellent close up of an interesting blade.
@CT23 - Neat close-in shot, Chris. The Morris & Forndran is a stunner.
@Atalk - A bowl of shave goodness, Mike.
@120inna55 - Two exceptional photos of one tantalizing combo, Matt.
@EzraCobb - Quite a colorful layout, Jamie, especially the injectomatic.

SUNDAY SOTD ::::: February 12, 2017

Prep: Hot shower w/Neutrogena Men Invigorating Face Wash
Pre-shave Oil: Hazelet’s Apothecary Liquid Lightning
Soap: Hazelet’s Apothecary Bourbon & Sandalwood
Brush: Nathan Clark EnvyShave DFS LE ubersoft synthetic 24mm
Razor: Gillette Fatboy (F4)
Blade: Gillette 7 O’clock Super Platinum Black (1)
Post Splash: Dickinson’s Original Witch Hazel unscented
Aftershave: Hazelet’s Apothecary Bourbon & Sandalwood​

​

This was my first use of the F4. It has plating loss on the handle so I'm planning on getting it re-plated as a steampunk Fatboy. It also needs a bit of adjustment. The knob doesn't tighten the last quarter turn and one of the doors doesn't open fully until pushed. The shave feels quite a bit different than with my E1; maybe that will change after adjustment.

@shm - Like this b&w, Søren. Very nice staggered alignment. Love the shape of the Semogue.

Thanks, Ron. I hope there was no damage from the storm.

 

[Jnatcat]

@Jnatcat - Nice layout, Will. A change of soap I see.

Thanks Ron, i always use the Old Spice on Sundays with vintage SE or DE, back to the chilly willy today, hopefully this week will be gone. Its not been terrible but gotta work at it to get a shakable lather, I think adding the AV Ice Blue affected the lather performance, at least for me.
