You take the coolest pictures Ralfy, really! Thanks!

Pre: hot head/face wash
Razor: Kings Crown Razor 13/16 from a box of two
Brush: Custom 24 mm two banded finest
Cream: Cyril R Slater Indian Sandalwood
Astringent: Indian alum block
Post: Proraso
Result: very good - with a twist...
The razor pulled like crazy, I thought I had stropped it, but I don´t remember and don´t care, I changed to my Mappin and Webb and went to work again and this time it was much better .
As brother Ralfy once said: Billiards anyone?
PS sorry for the pics lately, I´ve had a wrong and fixed ISO number on the camera (800 iso), so picture tonight and tomorrow will be very corny - in so many ways .

Happy Anniversary to Stroker and the Misses...

Congratulations!

The John Holler Tower Brand razor arrived in the mail yesterday. I got right to cleaning, polishing, sanitizing and honing her up. I knew coming off the stones it was destined to be a great shaver, and it did not disappoint!
I'm a bottom feeder on e-bay... I picked this one up for $10.05, but it shaves as if it were worth hundreds...

Ain't that the truth! My $9.99 razor from eBay and hone by Bob Keyes is still the yardstick I measure all the others by... just a darn fine razor!
