SOTD - November 30 through December 6, 2009

[Eelco]

Man! You guys throw some nice pictures in here

A Sunday all to myself and I started off with a really good shave taking all the time in the world.
Good warm shower, very hot towel (ouch ), nice warm lather using my new custom made scuttle (forgot to implement in picture) applied with my favourite brush and then a great razor/blade combo - good start.
Now the rest of the day I'll spoil myself by listening to some good music, reading, surfing the net and watch a DVD that suits my mood and then I'll end the day (stationed in Europe) by watching at least one NFL game - I think that makes for a pretty good Sunday

Sunday shave:

Edwin Jagger Silvertip
Golden Gillette Fat Handled Tech with Feather

T&H Luxury Shaving Soap
Christian Dior Fahrenheit After-Shave Lotion
Christian Dior Fahrenheit EDT

I hope you Gentlemen will have a really nice Sunday as well

Nice Picture !!!!!!!

Once again, I enjoy all of your wonderful SOTD photos, the number of which seems to be increasing every day.
Bravo Vasco, Eelco, Jon, Mark, Live2Ride, Jakob, Henry and Mike (and anyone else I may have forgotten to mention by name ) -- Great stuff!!

I am considering upgrading to a Nikon DSLR, just to attempt keep up with you guys. For now, I'll keep at it with my old school Cannon powershot.

Sunday, December 6, 2009:

Moss Scuttle
CooncatBob Afzelia Burl handle w/ Merkur 3-piece razor head
Wilkinson Classic
Rosewood #12 EW
MWF
TN Dickinson's WH
Royall Spyce
L'Occitane Vetyver EdT

A world class shave, all around. I think my Plisson is finally (after almost two weeks! ) starting to open up and show me the lather. I still think I prefer the supreme density of the Rooney and the Simpsons, but the Pliss is starting to grow on me.

Enjoy!

I would call today's shave the I-Have-To-Get-SWMBO-
To-The-Airport-On-Time shave.

I didn't want to skip shaving, because I didn't want her to feel like she was kissing a hobo when she kissed me goodbye.

Bic diposable
Real Shaving Co. Cream
Omega 49 in red
generic witch hazel
Neutrogena razor defense balm
and a very light spritz of adidas moves to top it all off.

Result: DFS.

Excellent. This Knize soap is becoming very popular around here. I'm tempted, but on a strict budget until 2010 ​

great pic, Neil - I'm glad the P is working out for you - it makes such a handsome couple with that burl razor!

Let me know how your research into a DSLR goes - I'm thinking about making the leap as well. (Any truth to the rumor that there is going to be a B&B LE DSLR?)*
