lindyhop66 and sarimento1, is it Revisor Sunday?

Are both of your Revisors from today modern ones or are either of them vintage?

How do each of you like them?

The favorable exchange rates are stimulating temptation and lowering resistance.

Nice pics, as always, from both of you fellows.

That 8/8 looks massive.
 
Sunday morning:

P/S: Proraso White
Razor: Matador "El Gordo Negro" Gold
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (3)
Soap: Mike's Coconut
Brush: WD 24mm Silvertip
A/S: Pinaud Clubman
ASB: RS
 
I received my Maggard Limes & Bergamot sample yesterday (GREAT customer service BTW), and I'm giving it an A+ for scent, and and straight A's in all other categories. First, the scent is unique: fresh, clean, and citrusy, with no synthetic-type aromas at all. It lathered up perfectly, even with our Arizona hard water, and displayed excellent slickness, cushion, and post-shave face-feel. A very good value, IMHO.

Whoops, I forgot to post yesterday...
A quick face-lather 1-Pass with Strop Shoppe Baker Street Tallow SE, which has great performance across the board (ease-of-lathering, cushion, glide, etc.), but I'm just not crazy about the scent. Of course, YMMV...
:laugh:

Thank you Dave & Celestino!
With a new razor and blades in, brush coming again, and some picture loading and editing knowledge passed from RobK to me which was passed from Sarimento, SOTD will become even more of an enjoyment. Again thank you Gentlemen :thumbup1:
