Glad your feeling better Matt! Take care my friend and I hope your shave perked you up!

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

old Fields badger
1958 Executive/Iridium
AOS lemon SC
vintage Caron 'Yatagan' AS
vintage Caron 'Yatagan' EdT

I get in a rut with this razor/blade combo. It's my favorite of any other combo I've ever used, and I sorta get used to how little effort it takes for a tremendous shave. It's difficult for me to break out of it sometimes........heh.

I have maybe 6-8 razors in my small rotation, and eventually I'll get another out from the shaving arsenal and give it a spin. Right now I'm too complacent to screw around with a different razor or blade, although there's many of each I enjoy.

Jeeeez, I smell like celery and pine.........in a good way. This Yatagan is pretty wacky juice.

BBS results,

Martin

I, too, love the celery smell of Yatagan. Slather me with peanut butter and stick-on a bunch of raisins, and voila! "Ants on a Log" :-)
