Been out this evening for a work colleague's retirement, so no time at this time of night to make individual comments. Out most of tomorrow as well. Great array of shaves and shots today, gentlemen.

Wonderful sunday shave and shot, Erwin!
Lovely pic, David.
Thanks, as always, for your kind words David. Let's say that the performance of this soap mix falls somewhere between the performance of Penhaligon's EF and MWF.
It is very usable and the scent is still great.
The level quality of the photos posted in the SOTD forum is simply amazing! 
And I wholeheartedly love your pics, all of them! 
Very well done, Gentlemen!

Just wish those renowned names would leave well alone with their great products. So unnecessary.
I got several PMs in the last two months by B&B members asking me to run a US themed week. I didn't forget. I intentionally wanted to run it during this week, in order to honour the victims of September 11th 2001. And I'm sure my American mates will show all their pride for their great country. My heart will certainly be with them, also because there is something of American in me, too. I've never mentioned this before here on B&B, but when I was a little boy I really lived in the United States for four years. My father was an MP (Italian Military Police Officer) in the Italian Embassy in Washington D.C. and my family lived in Maryland. I still have a photo of us on the top of the Twin Towers, beside my bed. The best way to remember will be to show all our love for the USA with the finest American made shaving stuff. Unfortunately, at the moment I do not have any, but will surely enjoy yours.
Another absolutely stunning shot to start a new week, my friend
Gentlemen: forgive me, but I have decided to delete the photos when quoting/commenting. This is strictly to keep things a bit tidy for folks to read and follow.
PS (Henry/Marco): Do we have a September Tabula Gratulatoria or should we keep posting in the August one?
Way to go Marco...What a nice thought and a thoughtful and appropriate theme for this week. My hat's off to you, your stewardship and your SOTD. Well done my friend
David,
That Tuckmar is a beauty my friend. Enjoy her in good health and may she continue to give you many many years of fabulous shaves like today's (I assume it was great, right 
?)
Wowwww Emanuel,
Check out that bloom on that T&H brush. Spectacular photo and shave
Erwin,
Well done buddy. Love every aspect of your SOTD today

Robert, second shave with the Tuckmar this morning and it was excellent. The blade is smaller than my others, and the razor is extremely light in comparison. First shave, I was having reservations about the size and weight, but this morning's shave was exceptional.

Not quite sure where the whisky fits in here, Erwin? I'll just have to use my imagination, won't I!!!
Great shave and shot, my friendDavid,
Sorry to have missed her maiden voyage SOTD, but glad to hear that she delivered nothing less than a perfect shave

A LABOR DAY SHAVE
Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 26mm Saville Row 3326 Silvertip Badger
Maxtom: 15/16" Max Sprecher, 1/4 Hollow Ground, French Point (w/ Makume Gane scales)
Strop: 20/45/45 (Neil Miller Linen / Imperial Horsehide leather / Imperial Cordovan leather)
Überlather: Martin de Candre Shave Soap
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol)
After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Amber AS
Moisturizer: Martin de Candre Oil of Copra
Cologne: Martin de Candre "Lavende" EdT
Results: What an incredible shave. Four plus days of uncontrolled growth wiped away with pretty much one of a handful of razors that could live up to the challenge, i.e., the Maxtom. The Martin de Candre needs no introduction to this audience. It provided a luxuriously rich lather, resulting in the "perfect" prep. The end result left me feeling like a million bucks.
Have a WONDERFUL Monday gentlemen. For those of us in the USA who are celebrating Labor Day Holiday, may you have a SAFE & RELAXING day.
