SOTD "FREE WEEK" December 9th - December 15th, 2019

[ronweston]

It's another "FREE WEEK" ladies and gentlemen.

It's time to be creative.

Please feel free to post any photo, with any gear and any style you chose, or contribute by telling us what you used in your shave, with comments on the shave, if you desire.

Color, B&W, sepia or a photograph with any type of artistic touch you wish is always desired.

HAVE FUN!​

I will be away from December 13th to December 21st, with no internet access, so I'd appreciate it if someone would create the weekly thread next Sunday evening.

Day 9 of Decadent December features my gold plated British Gillette Flare Tip Rocket which delivered a DFS to both noggin and face. I know many like a Friday ‘Fat’ day, but for me it’s always a Monday ‘Mitchell’s day. Mitchell’s is my favorite shaving soap, hands down! And when salted with 5-6 drops of M-Bomb is unbeatable for me. Like many of us in this hobby I have collected many soaps, both high end (Martin de Candre) and low end (Williams), but I always keep coming back to Mitchell’s! I feel cool and refreshed, although not quite as smooth as I would like.

Shave 1:
Razor: fatip piccolo
Brush: Omega 49

Soap: Arko shave stick
Aftershave: Old spice whitewater

SOTD, 9 December 2019

A shave today with Murphy & McNeil's Magh Tured, an earthy, woodsy concoction - a sweet rosewood and pepper hit up front, and an earthy combo of patchouli and vetiver underneath. There's a hint of sandalwood in the middle, so the description says, but I don't quite detect it. A very pleasant - not overpowering at all, but mid-strength scent. As always with Murphy and McNeil, an excellent performing lather - a very smooth shave with a Personna Red on its third shave.

Pre-shave: Pacific Shaving Company Bamboo Pre-shave Scrub
Razor: Fine Accoutrements Marvel
Blade: Personna Red (#3)
Bowl: Fine Accoutrements Ceramic Lather Bowl
Soap: Murphy & McNeil Magh Tured
Aftershave: Murphy & McNeil Magh Tured Splash
