🏳️🏴🚩🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈 “SOTD - Fly Your Home Flag” Theme Week - August 12-18, 2024 🏳️🏴🚩🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈

[SharpieB]

Hi B&Bers!

As the Paris Olympics have just come to a close, let’s take pride in our home countries! Where you were born or where you currently live.

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!

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 always, being creative and having fun IS mandatory but sticking with the theme is NOT mandatory but very strongly encouraged.

LETS SEE YOUR LOCAL SHAVE ITEMS!

Comments	I am doing something different for a while. This morning I went through a storage cabinet and saw a huge chunk of Cella soap, which I last used in 2017. I had vacuum-sealed the soap and decided to alternate the Cella with the Razor Rock soap. The soap now has a tan look but other than that was perfect. The lather was excellent as was the shave. The next brush in my rotation was an Omega EVO brush. This is one fine synthetic brush. The brush easily loads lather and makes plenty of it. The result was a perfect BBS shave. Have a wonderful day, folks.

I don't have any shaving products made in , so what to do for this SOTD... I really should look into the Fitjar shaving soaps, hmmm...
Anyhoo... It's been ages since I've used my tub of Proraso Red, so I decided to pull it out of storage and use some similarly coloured products

Happy shaves everyone!​

 

[cranewarrior]

Van Der Hagen razor, a USA sold product that is actually made in China. MF Soap which is American I think. Tiger Platinum blade made in the Czech Republic, but we love kolaches around here. Anyway, I guess it's appropriate for the mixed origins of many of us in the USA.
