Good afternoon gents!!!

SoTD 2013.02.23 - Straight Outta Spain; Full-Tilt-Boogie

Jermyn pre gel,
Jermyn Soap w/ Neep Kingfisher Tulip,
Filarmonica Doble Temple - sea-foam green scales,
WH, Jermyn balm, AS & Cologne.

Since the straights have been calling me lately, I thought I'd try to do a full week of them (DE for minor cleanup and around the VanDyke). Off to a very nice start - I had basically a day of growth, but it sounded like I was hacking off a week's worth; really nice sound this one makes (buttering toast, for sure). I'd call it basically DFS, but it feels like I'm figuring out angles and stroke, so I'll take it. A full kit of Jermyn is a can't-fail setup. That's about it - be grand, Sunday is fading fast.
