First try of the database that u/walden made. Took me a hot minute to enter everything yesterday and I have a small den compared to some folks here.
- That reminds me, I need to write the "Backups" section of the wiki so you don't lose all of your work when my computer crashes 😁

Talc: Yardley Gold
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This was a test shave for a new coticule edge on this 5/8 Wade & Butcher. I think the edge met all of my requirements. I hope the razor's owner agrees.

- Oh, is this a new-to-you W&B?
  
  No that was an editing error (now fixed). This razor belongs to u/Josiguuh; new to straights.
  My collection of wedges is a bit thin, though.

Brush: Proraso Professional
Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
Blade: GEM PTFE (2)
Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Unscented With Beeswax - Puck
Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Unscented - Aftershave
Stirling’s alternative bases are great. UWB makes a wonderful lather, which I sort of wouldn’t think it would considering the use of beeswax.

Razor: GEM - Damaskeene Open Comb
Blade: Accuforge GEM Microcoat (2)
Lather: Mike's Natural Soaps - Orange, Cedarwood, & Black Pepper - Soap
Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Grapefruit - Aftershave
Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented - Balm
Fragrance: Alvarez Gomez - Agua de Colonia Concentrada - EdC
A nice citrus-forward shave on a lovely spring day.
- Is this the OG gravefruit, the APR-SW collab?
  
  I think it’s just straight up grapefruit. Definitely from before my time, Jobooze gave me a bottle. Pretty sure phteven unloaded several on him that he had lying around.

Brush: Mühle Purist (21 mm silvertip badger, ebonite handle)
Razor: Koraat – r/Wetshaving exclusive Moarteen (15/16", full hollow, carbon steel)
Lather: Barrister and Mann – Le Grand Chypre
Post Shave: Speick – Men Active
Le Grand Chypre and the freshness of Speick make for a very nice combo for a warm almost-summer day like today.

Brush: AP Shave Co. - Synbad 24mm Synthetic
Razor: Blackland - Era - Level 2
Blade: Personna P74 (76)
Lather: Viking Shaving Soap - Norway - Soap
Post Shave: Noble Otter - The Night Before - Aftershave
This was a rushed shave so I could get out the door for a last minute overtime work shift. The Era Lvl 3 has long been a super favorite of mine, but this Lvl 2 is hot on its tail. Super nice.
I don’t know why iOS has to suck so hard, but copying and pasting the SOTD text from my SDS results in the line breaks being removed. If I didn’t need this iPad for work I’d sell it in a heartbeat.
