A mix of "retro" and "Modern" today...

• Merkur Futur w/ Gillette 7 O'clock Yellow blade
• Razorock Plissoft "Monster" brush
• Soap Commander "Endurance" shave soap
• Vintage Shulton Old Spice aftershave splash in Vintage Shulton "Lighthouse" decanter
• Soap Commander "Endurance" aftershave balm

I'll bring out the Gillette Red Tip in a day or two to retro it up a little more!

Welcome to SOTD, Daniel. Nice layout.

Now that's a shave that could brighten up one's morning ... or evening, Murray!

Ok, I'll chime in. Nothing vintage here unless you call an Amazon "find" vintage. The razor is a Parker 76R loaded with my FIRST Feather. Prepped with ToBS Sandalwood, a Perfecto brush, and finished with some alum and Brickell's Instant Relief.

I've been at this DE shaving now for just shy of 3 weeks and have been working my way through a sampler pack of blades. Finding some good (Shark SC was my favorite), some bad (7 AM blades, please report to the trash can), I finally decided to bite the bullet... er... blade... and go for the Feather. I can sum up the entire shave with ... WOW!

Welcome to SOTD, Brian. Glad you like the Feather. It took me a lot longer than three weeks to try one. Now it's one of my favorites.

Love the pictures and posts this evening, gentlemen. Wish I could post comments but my allergies kicked in big time today and the meds haven't taken effect yet. I've only been able to do a couple of welcomes. It's hard to keep a coherent thought. So I'm going to call it an early evening. We'll see how I am tomorrow. Be seeing you.
