<<< “SOTD - Vintage Week” February 14th, 2022 to February 20th, 2022 >>>

[SharpieB]

Happy Sunday, B&Bers!

For this SOTD Theme Week, let’s see your Vintage shaving gear! Show us your old Gillette, Schick and Rolls razors, your vintage soaps, blades, aftershaves/colognes, bowls or anything else vintage that is shaving related!

This weekly Theme easy… post pics of your old shaving stuff! If there is an interesting story around the acquisition of said gear, we’d love to hear about it.

If you don’t have anything themed, post pics of your usual SOTD or just tell us about it! Or maybe cheat a little and show a vintage watch. How about a bottle of Vintage Port? Just have some fun with it!

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

Let’s see your Vintage SOTD!

Mon 14 SOTD - Good start with the Vintage Theme!
Soap Catie's Bubbles Irish Coffee
Brush SOC Cherry Wood Boar
Razor Wade & Butcher 13/16 Wedge New 1st Use
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Stirling Haverford Splash
A perfect soap for Monday morning. Nice aromatic scent couple with a good lather generated by the superb brush!
I finally managed to receive my dream mid-1800s Wade & Butcher Sheffield razor! Nothing else but a wedge of course...hahaha. The razor is heavy... the heaviest among all my other SRs including the Dorko. Looking at the thick wedge, I was a little skeptical with the shave...boy was I wrong. Turns out to be a gentle giant! This razor's edge from the Seller was very very smooth and comfortable on all parts of my face & neck. 3passes for a dfs result...no issues at all. Absolutely enjoyed this excellent and famous W&B razor! Aftershaves were excellent too.
