My last shave before traveling for two weeks - had to make it a good one...

Pre: Hot shower/conditioner
Strop: Kanayama (40/60)
Razor: Akatombow Frameback
Lather: BentonClay Lavender + Bomb Lavender (extra EO) + 5 drops glycerin
brush: Vulfix
Post: Thayer's Lavender
ASB: Sandalwood SkinFood
EdT: Creed Royal Delight

Result: Incredibly smooth BBS. The Akatombow does such a nice job!



For the next two weeks, I'll be limited to two straights and one shave cream set up. My SOTDs (if I even have connectivity to post them) will probably be pretty lame as a result, for that I apologize. In the meantime, enjoy your shaves everyone...

Pre-Shave: Hot shower + Baking Soda + Stephan's Smooth Conditioning Shaving Creme

Razor: 7/8" Friodur #17 Stainless INOX, Square Point

Brush: 23mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger

Creme/Lather: AOS Lavender Shave Creme

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (lavender, no alcohol)

ASB: NancyBoy Replenishing ASB

Cologne: Penhaligon Bleinheim Bouquet

Facial Moisturizer: NancyBoy Replenishing Facial Moisturizer

Result: First class shave for Sunday. As always, love using the Shavemac to prep the beard and the Friodur is an absolute treat to mow those pesky whiskers.

Have a Fantabulous Sunday gentlemen .
