Pic from one our corners in the garden, facing the deck (with a tall fence around it wich is full of, well, flowers/some green gigant thing) and our small house with a big oak behind it. Shave was really good and the menthol in the Omega soap really felt nice today and the lather was slick and plentyfull (thanks to the New Forest).

A sublime shave again today. Where yesterday's shave with the Wacker was elegant and refined, today's was manly and exhilarating. Glen did a phenomenal job restoring this razor; I couldn't believe it was the same one I sent him when I opened it. It has a heavy, stiff feel to it that really took care of the beard growth!

The view is one of the courtyards by my condominium. I love this place because you can go out and enjoy a quiet moment despite being in a heavily populated area like Northern Virginia/Washington D.C...

Great shaves and incredible views this week, gentlemen. Thanks for sharing, and more importantly, thank you for letting me share!

Rose-themed shave today for what seems to be a rare summer day here... actually it's going to rain again soon!
