[SharpieB]

Happy 4th of July to our friends in the USA and Canada Day north of the border!

It‘s time again for another SOTD Theme Week! Let’s see your SOTD that contains at least one item made in Canada or the good ol‘ United States of America!

Let’s see your B&M, Stirling and Noble Otter soaps, Paladin, Elite and The Varlet bushes and American made vintage Gillette razors. Even USA made Personna blades work! How about a Captain’s Choice shaving bowl? Let’s see some razors from Wolfman, Karve, Henson and Rockwell and soaps from Highland Springs, First Canadian Shave and Canada Shaving Soap!

Don’t have anything Canadian or American made in your collection? Add something Canadian or American made but non shaving related to your SOTD images. A flag or any other neat or unique Canadian or Americana items would be cool to see. Budweiser? Molson's or Labatt’s? Jack Daniels or Crown Royal? Sure! A Fender American Strat or Gibson Les Paul? Excellent! A Polar bear, igloo or beaver? Now you’re pushing it!

Being creative and having fun IS mandatory but sticking with the theme is NOT mandatory but encouraged. Feel free to post any SOTD photo or just tell us about your shave.

Have some fun this week!

Razor: Yates Precision Stainless Winning
Blade: Personna "Lab Blue" (2nd use)
Brush: Omega 10810
Cream: The Body Shop Maca Root & Aloe
Aftershave, 4711 Eau de Cologne, Thayers Unscented Witch Hazel

Fantastic BBS shave today, I quite like this cream, and razor/blade combo. Both the razor and blade are USA made, quite by coincidence to this weeks theme. First time using 4711 as an aftershave, splashed onto a wet face was barely any sting which surprised me for having 86% alcohol, but I did't have any weepers or irritation so that might be why. The Thayers was just to add a little moisturising.

Comments	I am starting the week off with a new razor and blade combination. The next razor in my rotation is the Wolfman WR2 SB 1.05. I loaded the razor with a fresh Personna Medical Prep blade – a favorite combination. The shave was close and smooth. Unlike the RR Slant I used previously; this razor’s head allows me to remove the whiskers under my nose. However, I cannot go ATG there without nicking myself. Today’s brush is my Uomo Da Vinci 293 Silvertip. As usual, it did a nice job of making lather. This was the 49th day I used the Haslinger soap. This was a nice BBS shave. Have a wonderful day, folks.

Razor : Ever-Ready SE streamline 2nd Generation, Mfg 1949-53, mid to upper mid range. The ER Streamline razor is one of the nicest ASR razors to look at, but it was designed around the older splined Gem blades that had a thicker spline IMO. I just slip a spent flattened modern spline(RIGS) folded underneath the modern PTFE blade I'm using and Wala it brings the set up closer to original design that makes for a smoother shave at least for a few of us who have tried. Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (10) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Yaqi Musketeer Rapier, nice unique scented soap(addictive) with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Panda" 24mm Tuxedo knot. Excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. This would be a hard handle to Manufacture I'm thinking and very unique to look at and use. Bought on a excellent sale.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Witch hazel cleanse+ Yaqi Musketeer Rapier splash + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Ever-Ready SE streamline razor with a coated Gem blade.

Have some great shaves!
