SOTD: 1 - 7 April - Custom/Luxury Week

[BRuhling]

Gentlemen, I know I've not been very active lately, and for that I apologize. And this week I'll be spotty again as I have to travel for work from Tuesday through Thursday. Nonetheless, I know there are no fools in this forum so I wanted to set a unifying theme. We've got a lot of amazing kit out there and I know you all love to show it off. This week is your opportunity. Let's see those custom/luxury items in your shave dens!

I'll start it off with this Robert Williams damascus blade cloaked in pre-ban elephant ivory. The custom bog oak brush whipped up some great lather from the AdP and I was left wondering if I ever had any stubble at all!

My first shave with my new Thiers-Issard pure badger brush. It teamed up very well with the 'Vergulde Hand' shaving soap and there was hardly any 'wet dog' smell to the brush. So far so good.

• Thiers-Issard pure badger brush
• Merkur 23C w/ Timor Solingen blade
• De Vergulde Hand shaving soap
• Sanex after shave balm
