SOTD "Double Edge" Theme Week April 25th - May 1st, 2016

[Devonmoonshire]

Hey Gents.

Just a quick note of Thanks to all of you who have put up with me as one of your Stewards in the SOTD and Clubs & Brotherhoods. B & B has launched a new Video Library Forum, where we produce our own in house Radio program as well, and the management has asked that I concentrate my time there.

I have been honored to be one of the Stews, and Celestino is probably glad to get me out of his hair. I will still post everyday, as to me, this is one of the best parts of B & B.

So, I will now be the Steward of the B&B Video Library and the host of the Bi-weekly "B&B Radio Show"

Again, Thanks for putting up with me and my crazy theme weeks. You are all Truly the best of Badger and Blade!

and special thanks to Celestino for being such a great partner in crime and Freind!

See you on the SOTD!!

You can find that and the rest of the B&B Videos HERE

Very Exciting indeed and a great rollout for that Radio Program my Friend, Well Done! Congrats on the new forum and very deserving given your video editing skills my Friend

Saturday SOTD :: April 30, 2016

Pre-shave Cream: Proraso Red
Cream: TOBS Almond
Brush: Wolf Whiskers Ginny's Joy HMW silvertip
Razor: Rockwell 6s (plate 4)
Blade: Rockwell (5)
Post Splash: Thayers Witch Hazel Lavender
Aftershave: Captain's Choice Sandalwood
Aftershave Balm: Nivea

​

This morning I realized that it had been almost a month since my last shave with the Rockwell 6s. I have so many razors to go through that I get side tracked easily, a week of injectors, a week or so of vintage, then a week of contemporary. Eventually I'll use them all and begin to weed out the ones that really don't work for me....

TOBS is one of my favorite creams and I really like its protection. The WW whipped up a thick, rich lather which set the stage. As soon as I began the shave it all came back to me: why had I waited so long? The Rockwell is the razor all the others will be going against. Damn it is smooth -- a great cutting tool, a real pleasure to use. No hint of blood or sign of irritation. Just one hell of a shave. Three traditional passes, minor touch up, hot towel and cold rinse. Damn it felt good.

Mastro Livi CarboInox, 6/8 Full Hollow, Barber's Notch​

Let's start this new month the right way! And, for me, starting the right way means having a luxurious shave, at least for the straighr razor. I in fact used my Mastro Livi CarboInox with lovely and awesome colors, adding impeccable class to my shave. The colors of this razor's blade makes me think about the sea: the blue twisted damascus steel makes me think about wavy waters, while the golden colored stainless steel looks like the sand of the beach. Pure art, pure beauty, pure luxurious and super smooth shave, genuine Italian craftsmanship and art. Not to mention the scales made of this stunning cocobolo wood with two colors. Yes, the month has started the right way.​

• Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
• Soap: Tabac Shaving Cream
• Brush: Mastro Livi Silvertip Badger, Padouk Handle, 24mm knot
• Bowl: Gerby Bowl
• Strop: Mastro Livi Medium Loom Strop "Coramella Italiana" and Hand Palm
• Razor: Mastro Livi CarboInox, 6/8 Full Hollow, Barber's Notch
• Post-Shave: Alum Block
• Post-Shave: Umbrian Extravirgin Olive Oil
• After Shave: Mennen Skin Bracer
