Nice to see you back Jean, I am I thinking St Ives Cornwall? If so that's one of my favourite holiday destination.

Guys, it's been a loooong time since I've been on this site and longer still since I posted. Anyway, still been srs and this is my first attempt at posting up a sod pic. Definitely the mutt at the dog show. Had a great shave today:

Pre-hot towel / Art of shaving heated gel stuff
SC: TOBS Avocado--this was my very first wet shave buy and just got some more. So far found absolutely nothing that matches it.
A/S: Dr. Harris Sandalwood--OMG the scent on this stuff is amazing. I'd bath in it if I could
Post: Geo Trumper Sandalwood Skin food....damn
Finish--Light sprinkle of Bonds with a horsehair brush.

BBS in 4 passes. I have no idea how you guys do a true BBS in 2.

Thank you Jamie! At first we were a week in Porthcurno and then another week in Sennen Cove. From there we also went to St. Ives. A wonderful place in this world!

He was truly a master, and as can be seen by the works of his 'followers', awfully influential too.

Not to mention a bit bonkers. He lived quite the eventful (albeit too short) life.

* Thank you for the information!

The first decent shave after three weeks with the travel-slant. Simply Wonderful!
A DE-Razor is certainly a possibility, but not the best for me ...
Have a nice day!
Great shaves & pics in the last time gents!
