I wouldn't mind one bit seeing your collection buddy, I bet that would take a while

Would love to show you. Maybe if your ever slumming in Springfield or your car breaks down when trying to escape Massachusetts. LOL! Seriously though it would be an honor.

Today's photo is the place I shave. Extra bathroom, nothing fancy. I took the photo before clean-up just after I shaved. So, let see what your SOTD looks like just after your SOTD!!

Have fun with your Niece Jeff. I'm digging the shave den my friend, top shelf all the way

Wade Wingfield with Ivory Scales-1840's

Master Lilac Vegetal Splash
Proraso AS Balm

-The Wade Wingfield is fast becoming my favorite razor. Consistent, predictable, and reliable.

Pakmolive Classic Cream
Personna Red Pack Blades
Omega 10048 Boar Brush
Pinaud Clubman AS

My first ever DE shave. Did two passes on my neck at "1", two passes on my face at "2". I'll be bumping that up for the next shave. It's bot bad but it feels like I'm about 6-8 hours in to a good straight shave.
Also, to the member who sent this sweet little thing to me, thanks! It's going to be a regular part of the rotation and will see a lot of use when traveling and when I over sleep.

Fromm 72, 5/8 full hollow

I picked up this Fromm off the bay for 23 bucks including shipping. It looked like the factory edge so I did the 4k/8k/12k Crox and strop. Did a nice job and for 23 bucks, how can you beat it.

Today's photo is the place I shave.

Hey Jeff,
have fun with your niece. Nice pick up from the Bay. There sure are some deals to be had. $23 is a steal. This and your Maxterpiece Fromm must be kissing cousins

Love your den too brother. Nice man cave to retire to in the AMs

Results: An amazingly close, and very, very, corforable shave, I really concentrated today on shaving a Western style razor, using a Kamisori touch Barely skimming the lather and letting the edge do all the work..

Beautiful setup Glen...the "zero pressure" principle really does work wonders.

Now it's family time with Norwegian Idol on the TV and a glass of Barbera D'Alba (Italian red wine) Wishing all of you a great, relaxing Friday !! [/Table]

Rune,
Congrats on the Livi and XXX. Is this the "exchange" Livi? If so, it took her sweet time getting to you. But the XXX truly rocks. What better way to spend it than watching Monsters, Inc and Pizza. Enjoy it buddy
