EJ BBB medium
Razorock
Aqua Velva Musk

1956 Ball End Tech
Vintage Personna 74 blade-day2
The Real Shaving Company cream

The Baton is a small brush but it works amazingly well with cream. The remarkable Personna 74 blade seemed even better on it's second shave.

I'll only say it one more time - What a beautiful implement that razor is!! Could the aesthetics of such a simple tool be any better? When I take the straight razor plunge....

I take back my criticism of the SIs. In the HD, it works pretty well for me. Think I might prefer the Astra still, but it's definitely not far.
 
Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Pre-Shave Oil: Almond Oil
Razor: 15/16" Wacker Ltd. Ed.#2 w/Laser Etched Goldwashed Spine, Full hollow, Round Point
Brush: 23mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger
Überlather: CarrieM "KD Creations" Bay Rum Shave Creme + Mama Bear's Patchouli Shave Soap + Glycerin
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol)
Post Shave: Trumper's Sandalwood Skin Food
Facial Moisturizer: NancyBoy Facial Moisturizer
Cologne: Penhaligon Quercus
Result: Another scorcher in LA and surrounding areas today, but a great day of my usual hike/run in our local mountains (See background in picture), after which I came home to a nice hot shower (with Léo Delibes' Opera, Lakmé playing in the background), followed by prepping the beard with some almond oil as pre-shave. The überlather was prepared using CarrieM creme/Mama Bear soap/Glycerin (I had missed my CarrieM cremes for a few days now :thumbup1:)...thick, very moist, and lots of cushion. In honor of today's SOTD, I brought out my Special Ed. "Wacker" to christen the day. Well, needless to say that my shave was extremely satisfying and close. Today is going to be a great day:thumbup:.

SOTD Sunday August 22, 2010

Razor: 11/16 Robert Klaas, Prussia, Full Hollow, Spike Point
Pre-Shave: Proraso Crema Pre Barba
Shaving Cream/Shaving Soap: Real Shave Co. SC + Classic Shaving Sandalwood SS
Lather Bowl: Ceramic
Scuttle: RAB Ceramic
Brush: Semogue Boar 1460
ASB: Nivea Replenishing

Results: Uberlather (?) :blink: Tried this and wasn't much impressed. I didn't have any Glycerin to put into it but in general I would rather just use Shave Creams.
Since testing all those shave creams a while back, I can't get excited about the Shave Soaps anymore. :bored:
 
Beautiful!
