Great lather and great shave. Typical Duck with a different name. Great edge. I don't recall the last time I rotated through the ducks but I would guess maybe 6 months ago or more. A normal stropping and they shave GREAT!

Two full days of no shaving, man, that sure does make for a sweet and very enjoyable shave, it seems that the extra wisker growth makes for a smoother shave. I was once told to wait a couple of days between shaves by the host of this thread and that when I did shave that it would be 'a revelation', thanks Max , I wish that I could do that all the time without the second day look.

The Razor - a Maximilian work of art, Frederick Reynolds
The Cream and then Soap - Truefitt and Hill Grafton, D.R.Harris Arlington
The Brush - Edwin Jagger medium silver tip w/ acrylic handle
The Aftershaves - Ogallala, Nivea Men's Sensitive Skin Balm

I hadn't used the Grafton in a while, the scent is a tad strong to me, but after the 2 days without shaving the Truefitt and Hill cream is virtually divine. Almost makes me feel sad for the ladies that they don't know the pleasure of shaving ones face, but they get to enjoy the results too.

Results - ..... Mmmmmm ........ mmmmmmm
