Question A Speicked Sunday

Light but Speick smells nice!

Brush: SR3824
Razor: Dovo #109 "Schloss / Burg" with plumwood scales
Cream: Speick
ASB: Proraso

A dull razor makes for a bad two-pass shave (and my newbie technique doesn't help either). I'm having it honed to-morrow, courtesy of floppyshoes.



By the bye, is posting to other SotDs the same, er, SotD considered bad etiquette?

Talking SOTD Sunday 25th May 2008

Blade: 5/8 1/2 hollow by G Barrett of 144 Fleet St, London (known as Sweeney to his friends) from www.theinvisibleedge.co.uk
Strop: Dovo XL
Brush: Men U Bristle
Soap: Natural Soap Co Juniper Orange & Clove Shaving Soap with Fuller's Earth
Balm: Cosmetic Lad from www.lush.co.uk
Scent: Allure Homme by Chanel
Soundtrack: Pink Floyd "Echoes" CD 1
Stogie: Cohiba Maduro Magico

My birthday shave. The only lack was the several nicks. I really should know better than to wield a blade after breakfast Bucks Fizz.... Gotta say, it was made by the smoke. You poor colonials, not being allowed such pleasures
