Thursdays Shave
http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...N/DSC_0093.jpg
Pre: Hot shower
Razor: Thomas Turner
Brush: Ikon 24 mm silvertip
Soap/Cream: Palmolive/Edwin Jagger
ASB: Davidoff
AS: Alcolado Glacial
Result: Very nice :)
This water is extremly hard, it´s almost at the point where it´s beginning to get funny. I used both soap and cream this morning, thanks for the tip a-dad, but I had to reload with more cream after two passes when I moved to the head. Now I´m clean on both head and face though, very satisfing feeling. Sorry for the crapy cell phone pic.

Great shave as usual today....hard to screw up with great tools. Tried this vintage EdT for the second time and the jury's still out on the verdict. It's supposed to have quite a bit of civet in the mix, so we'll see if any cats start following me around today...........
BBS results,
Martin
