Monday
Razor | Wade and Butcher Special | Cream | Body Shop Macca Root | After Shave | Tabac | Eau de Toilette | ‘Whisky’ by Evaflor
This morning’s shave was almost pointless, since I’d had such a close shave yesterday arvo at 3:30, however, as the Wade and Butcher is so smooth the skin coped fine. The scent of ‘Whisky’ by Evaflor is a nice pipe tobacco smell.
A VERY rainy weekend and start to the week; there are creeks around the place that are almost full that haven’t been that full for YEARS!
Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

I'm starting the work week with a little trip back to my straight roots. This was my first straight, and it continues to give very good shaves!

Despite a wonderful shave, I'm not feeling great this morning my throat feels like hamburger and my body aches all over. Unfortunately, I got no time for pain so it's Advil up and launch.Last edited by 1OldGI; 07-22-2013 at 12:01 PM.

Paul, I love this razor. It is mild but gives a great shave. I too just do 2 passes with a little buffing. I had the AS-D1 and sold it as I just could not get a good shave from it. Whatever small changes Feather made to this new head works. This and a Feather Popular (which I travel with) are the only two DE razors I have now. Originally Posted by ratbag
