Shave of the Day Thread - 2017

[Snooze]

Coolabah soap and splash / Semogue 1250 boar / Mongoose with AC Pro (4)

Last shave for 2017...

Love the Coolabah scent and mentholation. Hot and humid in Sydney ATM so very refreshing. The Mongoose for me is a bit like the Merkur Futur - when you haven't used it in a while it seems big and cumbersome, but after a couple of shaves I am getting used to it again

Happy New Year everyone, thanks for all the banter and comradeship in 2017. See you next year ​

And thus ends my last shave of my first full year of shaving. Thanks all for helping me all so much with me new hobby during 2017.

Today's shave featured some old friends, some new. The Semogue 830 came out of retirement as my 30mm APShaveCo knot will soon be transformed by Tony into my new main brush and I thought I'd play with the other ones. The Slim did a great job but I am thinking that it might have a renovation in 2018 so I can see just how good it might be. Avon Leather aftershave and oud edition Bogart makes me a retro dandy for the party. And a natural brush? Bring on the handsome brush soakers goblets! Thought I'd use the Simpson sample of Sandpiper in my newest shave bowl acquisition and leave it out as a sort of bathroom freshener. It has a light scent so maybe not a good idea. Hahahaha.

BBS in three passes with 2 pickups.
