Its Anglophile Week! That means all things British!

Its my turn to take over the SOTD for the week, so I'm going British! We want to see all of your "Made in England" stuff! Show us your RFB's, Rockets, Brit Aristocrats, TOBS, Simpsons, Mitchell's Wool Fat and so on! Lets see some Hybrid Techs too! Tell us why you love British shaving stuff!

If you don’t have anything British, post a pic of your usual SOTD with something English in the photo! Many of us have at least a couple of British shaving items, so this should be an easy one to stay on theme!

As always, being creative and having fun IS mandatory, but sticking with the theme is NOT mandatory but very strongly encouraged.

Let’s see some English shaves!

Ohhh… Nice one as I am on vacation currently in London, England!

Very basic vacation shave, but a British Kent badger travel brush is my go to for travel and I have been rotating thru a bunch of 5ml Penhaligon’s fragrances!

Obligatory hotel room view pic…

I hummed in an English accent while shaving if that’s appropriate?

First shave with this Muramasa and my face is smooth as can be with 3 passes 4-4-5. Further thoughts on this razor will be withheld for a few more days of “testing”.

Starting in England to pick up my soap: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
Over to the Isle of Man to get my brush: Simpson Trafalgar T3 synthetic brush
Oops! Back to America because I forgot my razor: 1960 Gillette 195 Adjustable (Fatboy). No worries. I have plenty of frequent shaver miles.
Over to Sweden for the best blade made: vintage Schick Krona razor blade (15)
And down to Northern Ireland for the post shave balm: Wickham 1912 English Rose

7 O'CLOCK WEEK (2022) SOTD

Brush: Shavemac 20/46 Silvertip 2-Band
Soap: Phoenix Scentsless
Razor: 1933 7 o'clock FBOC GT
Blade: Gillette 7 o'clock Black (1)
ASL: Pashana American Bay Rum

An excellent shave.
The 7 o'clocks make a great team (for me).

I hadn't realized that I'd used my last Black, so I purchased a whole new 10-pack* (versus the old five [or seven] pack). My new 10-pack says "Packed 06/20" on the back.

* Last of the BIG SPENDERS.


Happy shaves guys.
