Jerry,

As usual, a gorgeous picture. I always look forward to your SOTD posts!

Thanks Mitch. Time usually dictates how I set up my shot. The ones shot on black are usually my favorites as well.

Swede day 2
Simpson Chubby#2 Super

Tried Ron's "Four Pass" system today and nicked the crap out of myself. I guess my skin was not taut enough... I am quite smooth though - good shave otherwise. The Butch cologne is... interesting... I think I like it the longer it is on but those top notes are weird. -- Dennis

If your a beginner go VERY !!!! Easy with the Ron 4 pass system. Ron very wisely writes in it the manual its not a BEGINNERS ! method. Im getting great shaves now doing the 4 passes but my technique grew significantly and those Feather blades really help doing the 4 passes had 3 shaves now with the feather blades in a row.not a single nick 4 months DE shaving now..

Thanks Rene - not exactly a beginner... My shave is usually 2 N-S passes, and AGT and then checking what got missed with fantastic results. I tried the chevron cuts which I have not really done before not to mention the fact I had a excellent shave yesterday and my stubble was pretty light and short which probably compounded the problem. -- Dennis

I too am a big fan of your work Jerry! Once I finally get situated and finished moving, my goal is to start back up with the SOTD pics, and try and use your method from the tutorial to replicate the quality of pictures you take!

-shower started using an ordinary hard soap . then I must have forgotten the SHAMPOO was looking too much forward to my shave that I FORGOT the shampoo I didnt even know till im writing the SOTD.

- Fatboy/Feather 4rth use
- Wilkinson Shave soap
-Muhle boar bristle
-PSO
-Technique pour Homme moisturiser balm by Chanel. (good stuff 1st use)
-Adidas pulse dynamic a/s
-Alum Block.(used on the neck. )
- Azzaro Chrome sample

3 passes Fatboy on 9. 1 full pass with just PSO (setting 6) all over the face doing across the grain pass. I went quite fast with the hole shave. end results 4 tiny nicks.
in the end 2 nicks showed /kept on the face like a crust thing when your hurt on your skin.

still excellent shave ! very happy PSO rules for me.
