Otto,

That's a nice looking Martinez custom you have there. He also make brushes with other chess pieces as handles...if you get them, let us enjoy some pictures. Thanks for the post.

SiRed8 my friend Ivan and to Donald your guy's pics this week got me searching out those Bay Rums and I found those three plus five more to add to my ever growing collection of Bay Rums...


Thanks Gents

Pre shave: Hot shower...Camay Soap on the face

Face Prep / Soap: Rooney Small Finest and an old Crabtree & Evelyn Bowl Soap (got to finish it sometime) in a nickel shave bowl -- I was not unhappy with the lather

Shave: Dovo 5/8...don't exactly know the model...carbon steel, blond wood scale, good sharp...my favorite for now...favorites change often, go figure...w, x, a. Good shave -- means a good day.

Post shave: cold water, alum block (some sting, need a touch on razor?), semi dry, cold water, T&H 1815 Balm.

Heaven.
