Hello, B&Bers!

This weekโ€™s SOTD Theme is โ€œEuropeโ€.

I have only been been in Europe 3x in my life and all 3 trips were in the last 9 months. To say I love and miss Europe is an understatement! The food, the people, the history... and the shaving gear!

We want to see your soaps, razors, aftershaves, fragrances, scuttles, blades and any other shaving accessories made in Europe. Show us your Italian shaving soaps, Portuguese brushes, Greek BIC blades and razors/aftershaves/colognes made in Europe! Do you love Areffa shaving soaps from Ukraine as much as I do? Show us a pic. Do you love your made in Portugal Tatara razor? We want to see it!

Do you have an Icelandic shaving soap? A shaving brush made in Luxembourg? A Romanian made straight razor? Please show us! Europe is huge and diverse, so most of you should own SOME gear from this part of the globe!

Nothing European? Please still post a pic of your usual shaving setups. Or post pics of your usual SOTD or just tell us all about it. Letโ€™s see lots of themed posts this week! Do you want to tell us about a recent European vacation of share some non-shaving related images? Perfect! Is your favourite song The Final Countdown by Europe? Thatโ€™s super weird, but cool too!

As always, the weekly themes are just a suggestion, but being creative and having fun IS mandatory. We encourage you to post or shoot photos of your Shave Gear of the Day regardless of the theme.

Letโ€™s see your European shaving gear!

Brush: Highlander M7 Style
Soap: SS Valentia
Razor: Shield GEM
Blade: GEM PTFE
Post: SS Valentia AS

Wonderful shave this morning, the signature soap exploding into lather aided by the Highlander brush. Probably had enough for another few passes left in the brush as well. Always impressed by this stuff, excellent volume brilliant slickness and the scent is cracking.

Hope everyone has a grand day.

Cheers

Marc

Today I am using my Paladin Lotus. This was the latest Paladin brush I bought before ordering two Contributor brushes. I got this one on the BST โ€“ and it is the only one I did not get directly from Paladin. I really like the look of this brush. Plus, since I am a fan of larger brushes it fills my needs. The Timeless/Med Prep combo is on its 5th use and I still going strong. The MdC soap is on its 84th use. The shave was close and smooth. The Everyman Jack ASB also is going strong. I use very little of this ASB on my face and neck to moisturize my face and head. It is a great value, IMHO. Have a great day and week, folks
