Nice Gold Dollar. I have the same razor. Very good shaver!

My SOTD tonight was Kid's Choice!

Stirling Vanilla Sandalwood soap
Maggard's 24mm synthetic
Crown King scuttle
Torrey 5/8 full hollow
Stirling Vanilla Sandalwood splash

I asked my kid to pick out my shave for this evening. She obliged. She was tossed between WSP Black Amber Vanille and this, and finally settled on the Stirling because of the matching splash. I wasn't complaining because this sits at the top of my list with my Maggards Tobacco & Leather and PAA Good Vibrations. Excellent soap with outstanding scent and performance.

My cell phone said it was in focus, but obviously it lied to me. And, everything is already put away, so please forgive the poor photography this morning. Still, a good shave and a good way to call it a day. Enjoy your shaves!

It's actually a shame that the picture turned out so poorly, because this brush is gorgeous! Mr. Vey did an outstanding job with these brushes. He poured the acrylic for the handles to achieve the beautiful ivory and clear red. He then worked his magic on the lathe, turning and polishing to perfection. The Shavemac 23mm Fan Finest badger knot is a little different for me(I've been partial to 2-Band of late), but it is a very nice knot that is plenty dense and has a luxuriously soft face-feel. Yup, I'm very happy with this brush!

I didn't think it was likely, but I enjoy using my Futur brush more than my 22mm synthetic. I don't know how the Futur will stack up against my all time favorite HIS, we shall see. The HIS is packed already for our move, and I want to really get to know the Futur, so I'm sticking with it for at least another week. I'm going to pack up all but one soap today and use one set up for the next week.
I'm sorely tempted to use Devil's Cut, since it is such a great performer. The soap is so moisturizing that I don't really need an aftershave, but of course I use one to carry on the scent longer. My face is well cared for and smells wonderful for hours.
Prep: Jack Black Nourishing Oil
Soap: Through The Fire Fine Craft Devil's Cut
Brush: Futur
Razor: Futur 5-5-5
Blade: Voskhod
AS: TTFFC Devil's Cut
