Hello again B&Bers!

For this SOTD Theme Week, we want to see your recent purchases that really excite you.

Show us your most recently acquired soaps, razors, blades, aftershaves/colognes, shaving bowls and even fancy wash cloths if that is your thing. If you shave in a fancy new silk smoking jacket, we‘re all friends here and friends don’t judge!


This SOTD Weekly Theme is a very simple one… just post pics of recent acquisitions that you enjoy using. If you are abstaining from shaving related purchases in GRUME or GRUYERE, recent might be a year ago in your world, but that’s ok with us.

And as usual, if you don’t have anything themed… post pics of your shave or just tell us about it!

And of course, the usual disclaimer from the B&B global corporate office… being creative and having fun IS mandatory but sticking with the theme is NOT mandatory but encouraged. 🤪

LET’S HAVE SOME FUN. 👍

Missed using this excellent soap. Did not disappoint at all. Lightly scented but the lather is beautifully rich and very slick...sud use more for SR
Missed shaving with the razor too and today paired with this 1st-time use PTFE blade was a Wow! Super smooth and very efficient! I did palm-stropped the blade. 3passes for a bbs finish. Missed the Clubman aftershave too and it was just awesome...and lasting!

Off to a new razor and blade this week: my Megress XL and the Astra SP blade. I have only a few of these blades left and thought I would try it in this razor. I am using the Ethos Lavender soap for the 34th time and the lather was excellent. The soap is one of my recent purchases. A nice, smooth BBS shave Have a good one.
 
Razor: Gem MMOC - I‘ve only had it a couple of months
Blade: Gem SS PTFE (15) - For a blade, not new
Brush: Stirling 24mm synthetic
Lather: Stirling Varen
Aftershave: Stirling Varen
I may be at the end of this blade. I’ll give it one more try in another razor. I got a 3 pass DFS but it took a bit of work and my face feels a bit rougher than I would like.
