{ 5/8 Keen Kutter }{ Plisson #8 HMW }{ Blenheim Bouquet SC }{ Blenheim Bouquet ASB }

That #8 is a lather machine! But we'll see if I keep it; it's pretty comfy on the face, but lacks backbone, IMHO.

British Rocket / Gillette Sharpedge (day 3) / Valobra Stick / Thayer's / Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS / Nivea ASB / Arden Sandalwood cologne

First shave with Valobra - I need to work on lathering: I worked the brush on the end of the stick, and then bowl lathered. It was a bit thin, and after pass to I rubbed the stick on my face and face lathered.

Nice scent and a good shave.

Thank you, you are most welcome.

Today's SOTD is the first taken with my new Metz Mecablitz 48 AF-1 flash, it has a small built-in retractable reflector, making it perfect for SOTD pics.

Sunday Morning:

Hot Shower/Proraso Glycerin Cleansing Bar/Hot Towel
1953 Gillette 40's Style SS
Swedish Gillette (Shave #2)
C&E BBB
Palmolive Classic SC
Brut A/S
Vaseline IRML Lotion

I really enjoyed this morning's shave. I know I say it every time I use it, but the European Palmolive Classic truly is a diamond in the rough. Great scent, great lather, great moisturizing properties and just an all around GREAT performer. The Brut after shave is a true classic and a must own for any wet shaver. Great stuff.

Rooney 1/2 Finest / SRD Bulgarian Rose Soap / Muhle DE / Gillette Swede / TSD Sensitive Splash / Trumper Eucris

See the tragic story of the brush that was to in the photo here

Regarding the brush: is that the imitation ebony handle or something else? If it's the imitation ebony...well, mine has nowhere near the sheen or depth yours does. That's a beaut!

OTOH, mine is a 3/1 and yours is 1/2 although I don't see why that should make a difference....
