Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel

Post-shave: NancyBoy Replenishing AS

Cologne: Penhaligon Opus 1870

Facial Moisturizer: Trumper's Facial Moisturizer

Result: Great start to the day. Went for a nice ~6 mile hike/run (see pictures below), met up with the wild life (a Lynx (I think it was from behind) wild cat and a couple of deer) on the trail (sorry not in picture...ran away by the time I was ready to take my camera phone out). After a nice hot shower, got ready for my shave using Al's shave creme (3rd try...EXCELLENT lather, as always. I found the sweet spot for this baby) and my recently acquired Le Grelot "Hospital" (purchased from "wrl", who had it rescaled by Max in butterscotch linen micarta ). This truly is a magnificent blade. Shaving with it was nothing short of awesome. Clean as a whistle . I could even compete in any BBS competition with any baby and probably even win . Now, I am ready for my nephews' birthday (I am sure there will be wrestling involved).

Thank you for the complement. I won it on eBay, its a Magnetized blade by Engelswerk in Solingen-Foche. Their is some sort of story behind the scales of a Saint Hubertus who is the patron Saint of Hunters.

This is a completed auction for another razor like mine that didn't sell maybe the seller still has it and would make you a deal for it. 230480935142
