The Day? -16ºC blowing snow over the iced roads and land.
The Shave? A good honest shave with an old Genco, American made quality in a simple package.
The European Cream will take some getting to know, Needed less water but a pleasant shave anyway. THe Vetiver matched closley the shave cream scent and finished the shave in style

Been there... :)
It'll be fine. Good luck tomorrow.

First shave with my brand new Bismarck. This was a 5 star shave! This razor is by far better than the cheaper Dovo Best Quality that I own as well.
It is smooth, like a Sheffield razor, but aggressive like a Heljestrand.
I am excited!
