🏳️🏴🚩🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈 “SOTD - Fly Your Flag Theme Week” February 7, 2022 to February 13th, 2022 🏳️🏴🚩🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈

[SharpieB]

Hi B&Bers!

For this SOTD Theme Week, we want to see your shaving gear from your home country! Show us your locally made soaps, razors, blades, aftershaves/colognes, whatever.

This weekly Theme is as easy as it gets… just post pics of stuff made where you currently live or where you were born. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

And as usual, if you don’t have anything themed (come on, you must unless you live in Antarctica)… post pics of your shave or just tell us about it!

As also (as I am being forced by management to tell you)... being creative and having fun IS mandatory but sticking with the theme is NOT mandatory but very strongly encouraged.

LETS SEE YOUR LOCAL SHAVE!

>> "Fly your flag" SOTD theme week <<

Ok, so let's have a Germany-driven week of shaves, at least from my end. Since I participate in the "One blade in February challenge" the blade will not meet the theme, however, the rest of the stuff will have "its origin" in Germany.

Lift off... Mühle R103, NOM (Mühle) Synthetic Black Fibre and Mühle Shaving Cream "Sea Buckthorn".

Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die neue Woche!

Bowl	Captain’s Choice Copper
Razor	RR Stealth Slant (Alum.) Version)
Blade	Wizamet
Aftershave	Thayers WH & Proraso ASB
Fragrance	Mont Blanc
Rating	10/10
Comments	Back to the RR Slant with the Wizamet blade for the third shave. The Ethos soap is on its 41st use. The Simpson Duke did a fine job of making lather. This little guy does a nice job. A nice, uneventful shave. The made-in-U.S. products for this shave: are the Thayers WH, the CC copper shaving bowl, and the CeraVe face wash. Have a good week gents.
