Hello B&Bers… One of my favourite themes this week!

For this SOTD Theme Week, we want to see your favourite shaving items paired with items that are discussed in other B&B Subforums.

This Theme is an EASY one… Choose another B&B subforum and incorporate that theme into your shots. I.E. Whisky, sports, watches, footwear, pipes or cigars, knives, fragrances, music, etc. pretty much anything! The more different themes you can incorporate, the more impressed your B&B friends will be!

And as usual, if you don’t have anything themed… post pics of your shave or just tell us about it!

As also as usual usual, being creative and having fun IS mandatory but sticking with the theme is NOT mandatory but encouraged.

HAVE SOME FUN THIS WEEK!

Bath - Time for Bonzo

I`m pushing the boat out a bit tonight because I`ve had a dire week so it`s a gas mark 9 shave in a scolding bath with a bar of 1996 Aleppo 70% Laurel oil Soap - My new Phoenix Shaving gold thing - any old blade will do , cheap perry in a cup and American talk radio on the windowsill with remote control candle light on and will jazz the bath up with an eight year old oud oil and enjoy a herbal cigarette - no need for a brush or mirror with my eyes shut or pre-shave / aftershave or towel.

I jusk know it`s gonna be a goodie because it`s an all-nighter with a posh new razor from America and I`ve not had a scrape for days.

After I`ll drip-dry in my underpants in the garden in Manchester - UK in November like a proper caveman - Just like after a sauna in Norway.

The neighbours are used to me - they`re lovely !

Next week it`s two thousand in the bath counting the Dragon plus the hedgehog and the fleas - you never can tell - depends how drunk we get.

Thanks Sharpie B and helicopter - you`re both stars !

The oud and now the Siberian White birch tar essential oil molecules will go right through my skin into the capillaries, then enter the general circulation and will alter my hormones and homeostasis chemically in a very good way immediately - how do I know this ? - I`m a Russian alcoholic herbalist.

Oh Wow I had to get out of the bath because I put too much oil in and got bradycardic but with firm systolic and diastolic pulse and relaxed nearly to the point of anaesthesia - the missus was dozing downstairs so I had to get out early for health and safety reasons; was drinking too and had a herbal ciggie.

The whole house smells like the perfume floor of a very classy department store lol.

I`ve never done that large a type of transdermal infusion or combination so I`m elated but wary.

I should have added ten drops max and put in roughly 200 drops so it was like a giant nicotine route - sedative patch haha !

I have only ever used a £25 razor in my life and that Phoenix Shaving gold thing was the height of luxury and the last time a bath was that good was when I was 21 ; nearly forty years ago ; I`m not kidding; it was sublime - I must do it again more often but maybe not put quite as much oil in !

My chronic bone pain completely vanished like having oxycontin or Sage (Salvia Officinalis) but with a totally clear head; heaven !

Birch tar oil is a mega analgesic for pain; been used for hundreds of years in Russia and especially Siberia ; good job I got a big bottle; it knocks high-strength CBD oil into a cocked hat; I`ve had both.

I am going with a different razor today. Next in my rotation is my Feather AS-D2 razor. I loaded the Feather razor with a Feather blade. Once again, this combination with a four-pass face and two-pass head shave gave me a perfect shave. Today’s brush was a Paladin PK 47. The brush delivered plenty of nice lather. I am continuing to 3017 my Monsavon soap which was used for the tenth time. The soap is now performing nicely. Have a great day, folks.
