SOTD 15-21 May 2016

Wade & Butcher Straight / Rudy Vey Custom Plisson / Dapper Dragon Bakewell / Myrsol Aqua De Limon

That's a cool razor Shawn, what is it?

Thank you! It's an EverReady 1924 Shovelhead on a handle a buddy of mine made for me. He also likes GEM/EverReady SEs, but we both don't like how small the handles are. So he took some brass, heated it up, twisted it then beat on it for a while and added the screw on the end. I'm not a person who works well with tools, so it's nice to have a friend who does.

Razor: Schick G1
Blade: Schick (6)
Brush: WDC-4 Silvertip Butterscotch Handle (VIG)
Soap: Eufros Brisa de Oriente
A/S: Myrsol Agua Balsamica

Very enjoyable and close shave tonight with the Schick G1. The razor brush, soap, and After shave made for close to BBS.
Was able to take the G1 apart for cleaning which was easy enough. Have a good night and a great weekend fellow shavers.

First run with the Viking Citron. Fantastic performer!!!  Lathers like a dream, great cushion and slickness. Holding off on a full review until a few more shaves to get my feel of the scent. So far it's a definite keeper in the rotation. Highly recommended from performance alone!
