Thread: Sun April 10th - Sat April 16th

.

Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W

Razor: Filarmonica DT13

Brush: Simpson Chubby 2

Soap: Penhaligon's English Fern (vintage)

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel

AS: Booster June Clover

EDT: Davidoff - Cool Water

Summary: Took my vintage Penhaligon's for a spin. English Fern is a classical fougere of the highest order. It's got that green, fresh, clean , soapy scent to it. Tallow based. Love it. Booster's June Clover and Davidoff's coolwater were a perfect match and pièce de résistance. My Filarmonica 13 DT performed flawless. That razor hasn't seen a hone for God knows how long. Still very sharp and smooth. This was truly a perfect shave. (YMMV )

Wishing all my brothers from the SOTD a perfect week.

Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Strop: Illinois 835
Brush: FS Finest Badger
Soap: Proraso
Razor: Custom Gotta 120 11/16
A/S Balm: Nivea Replenishing
A/S: Old Spice
Result: I just gave the Gotta a touch-up on the Thuri and then a few laps on the Chrome Ox balsa strop.
Feels a little better, but to be honest I think I left the touch-up too late. Might need to go back a little further in the honing progression. Still, not a bad shave, just not a great one.

Plenty of great posts already this week, you guys are awesome.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend boys
