Brush: Semouge Boar 1460

Great shave this morning with the Tiger Wedge. Missed shaving yesterday, left very early in the morning on a motorcycle ride with the Widows Sons MA to Crater Lake State Forest for an outdoor (in the forest wilderness) Masonic Third Degree. This is an annual event that has been done since 1948. It was authorized by then President Harry S. Truman. (himself, a Past Grand Master of the State of Missouri) One of the most interesting degree ceremonies in Masonry done in the middle of a secluded conifer forest. The ride was beautiful through one of the most scenic areas in the United States IMHO. It was a great day for a motorcycle ride and raising a Master Mason. :thumbup1:

What a great way to cap off a week of excellent SOTD shots, Robert. :thumbup1:
 
Hardware:
  • Schick Long-handled TTO DE
  • Derby blade
  • Superior 25mm SBB, aka, Black Fang, Hammer of the Gods, #2
  • Weller bowl

Software:
  • KIMF Lavender SC
  • Witch hazel
  • SCS Lavender ASB

I found the Schick razor in a little antique booth yesterday evening. Soaked it in some Simple Green over night, scrubbed it up this morning and loaded in a freshly corked Derby blade and made some magic. Similar in aggressiveness to a Gillette Red Tip. Very pleased with my first time out with it.

Time to visit my father... and the Tabac bowl I gave him! :biggrin1:
I wasn't very fond of Tabac's scent but it somewhat has grown on me...
I may be ordering one bowl for me in the near future.
