BLACK & WHITE, SOTD "themed week" October 31st - November 6th 2011

[Marco]

During the first week of November we would like to see black & white pics, which are certainly some of the most classic possible. These, in fact, reproduce that cool, traditional effect given by the very first photos of the history. And it's really up to you if you want to include a vintage look or a modern look in your two tones shaving shots!

Spooktacular Shave
​

PS: Sorry guys...no time to convert pictures this week to B&W, but here's my SOTD nonetheless
​

Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 26mm Custom Rudy Vey w/ TGN Grade A Silvertip Badger (w/ Buckeye Burl handle)
Devil's Razor: 7/8" Toyo Scheön Burg #666 "Frameback, Wedge, Spike Point
Honing (Refresh) regimen: 5 (light) laps on CrOx treated Premium IV Bridle leather
Strop: 0/55/25 laps (Neil Miller Linen / Imperial Shave "Pegasus III" Horse hide leather / Cordovan leather)
Soapreme: CarrieM "Orange Spice" Shave Creme + Arko Stick Shave Soap + Glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer
After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Amber AS
After Shave Balm: Al's "Spicy Orange" ASB
Cologne: Creed "Tabarome" EdT
Results: What better way to celebrate Halloween than with Devil's own razor, i.e., the SB 666? Combined with a little mix of CarrieM/Arko, she delivered an ultra smooth and irritation free shave

. Whiskers have another nickname for Devil's blade; The Graeme Reaper

. May God have mercy on their souls. I must say though, as much as I really love the performance of the Arko soap, it stinks to high heavens. Not even the creme was able to mitigate the strong stench. But, the end result was well worth it. Now, I gotta spend some time coming up with ways of scaring the living daylights out of the neighborhood kids

.

Have a SPOOKTACULAR Monday gentlemen
