Was it you I said reminded me of Caravaggio a few weeks ago? This is very nice, I like it...

* Carl, yes, it was I whom you said reminded you of the Caravaggio. You are very kind with your words, my friend! Thank you and i am very humbled and embarrassed!

* Weber DLC + Black Bulldog handle
* Perma Sharp Supers
* M&F 2XL Black
* Mystic Water Sardinian Honey
* Unrefined Shea Butter

Seeing as how the dog decided he needed a 545AM walk on my day off I figured if i was up and had some time I'd enjoy a nice slow shave. I'm finding my Stropping is finally coming alone nicely and i'm amazed I went from taking 4 passes for a nice smooth shave, to being able to fake it have decent with a single in a little under a year! Nice two pass shave, face is a little sun burned so didn't want to push my luck! Cheers!

Old England

This old British Lady is alive and kicking.
In her beautiful ivory livery, gives pleasant caresses ... if taken gently.
Otherwise she displays an air of Thatcherite.
You must bring respect, especially certain old Ladies!
