Pre-Shave: Hot Shower
Brush: Troy Craft - 26mm 2 band finest fan
Soap/Cream: Proraso - Cypress & Vetiver
Razor: Blackland - Vector Ti
Blade: Kai Captain - Titan Mild (11)
Post-shave: Fine - Fresh Vetiver / Proraso - Cypress & Vetiver AS balm

2 pass WTG + touchups = DFS+ daily shave. Great shave, minimal effort required for today thanks to the previous days BBS. This razor allows me to BBS and shave the next day. Quicker regrowth than the more efficient razors being the reason. That's a winner in my books if one enjoys daily shaves.

I would also like to address a mistake in my sotd posts. The last 10 shaves the blade has been a Kai Captain Titan Mild, not a Schick Proline. For feel it's very similar to the Proline as @Gargravarr will attest.

@TroyTools, I like your brush, very soft hairs like a silvertip, good flow through , it's a super splayer from the word go. A vinegar soak and a belting of vetiver removed any badger funk reminants .

Razor: Wolfman Ti WR2 1.05
Blade: Gillette Minora
Brush: Turn-N-Shave M3 Galaxy Sorby
Soap: The Club - Vacanza Romana
Post: The Club - Vacanza Romana

M3 has broken in nicely. It’s lost the small amount of scrub which leaves me barely feeling any individual hairs when splaying, just a big dense pillowy soft wall.

Glad I opted for the Ti 1.05. It’s just the right amount of blade feel (almost none) with more than enough efficiency to get me bbs. Definitely a RAD killer for me, or until the Ti Blutt is released next year.

Well in that case I nominate @alfredus and @TomG instead as they're SOTD are top notch as well

But hang on - I stood my razor up on its base this morning - doesn't that make ALL the difference?

In all seriousness we're truly spoiled as plenty of talented photographers and I'll nominate you because its rare to see non vintage razors in your SOTD and today's effort was really impressive!

Thank you, kind sir, but I must advise that I am back in the Desert, so brace yourself for a scrubber Mining Camp SOTD later this week .

Absolutely - massive effort from the General!

Gave the Euromax another go.. not impressed.. didnt quite achieve BBS but more importantly wasnt the smoothest shave either. Live n learn

Heh, from what I've seen, even your scrubby mining camp shaves look decidedly sybaritic by comparison with many of ours.

Gotta say, I had to google "sybaritic."

I could never get a decent shave with the Euromax either. I gave away a pile of those vshod freebies last year, and I'm pretty sure I've probably acquired more since...

Sorry

For the record:
sybaritic, adj.
sɪbəˈrɪtɪk
[often before noun] (formal)
Sensuous luxury, esp. in shaving, typically evident in posts on P&C by klinker and TomG.

Yep.... That's you're wet shaving style @klinker
