AAHH!! nothing like waking up earlier than the rest of the fam (4 kiddos and one on the way) and taking advantage of a nice shave. Some time alone with my faithful friend beside me (Max, the dog) and SRP (my new favorite past time) to past the Saturday early morning hours with until everyone wakes up....I think I hear the rumblings of little children rustling awake with the thoughts of destruction forming in their devious little mindss upstairs now...Be afraid..Be very afraid....

Prep: AOS preshave oil...'So,kay...
A/S: Vegatal...Waiting for my shipment of Ogalla sandlewood to get here..Thanks all, who have have been recommending this stuff! I can't wait to try it!
Razor: Dovo with Koa & Crushed Turquoise scales. The nasty stain on the toe is what happens when you leave a razor on the sink and the wife nails it with Tilex ....I tried buffing it out..To no avail...Oh well, it still shaves..

Have a great day! And thanks again to all who put this site together and continue to participate and add advice and pics. It is really fun to have a hobby that is shared by others.

Be sure and shake the Ogallala and use fairly generously, I think that the Sandalwood is the most popular, pretty much my favorite too.
