Probably the best brew I've ever tasted... Almost a wine really....

Leave Home last Sunday @ 4 AM. Arrive Oklahoma City 10 AM. Work all week on assignment until 5PM Friday afternoon. Scamper over to the Airport to make a 6PM flight into Chicago. Get delayed 50 minutes on the Chicago to Newark flight but finally arrive in my home @ 2AM. Take a quick nap and wake @4am. Drive the wife to State College PA, for Parents weekend at Penn State. Spend weekend with wife and youngest daughter. Sunday afternoon drive home (4 hrs) and finally get to relax.
I don't travel with a straight so it was a multi-blade all week coupled with a bumpy rash. NO shave over the weekend.
Hot Shower, scrub face with Gentleman's Best cold pressed soap.

Prep: Truefitt & Hill Pre-Shave Oil w/hot towel
Brush: Shavemac DO1
Razor: Filarmonica 14
SC: Al's Shaving Cream - "Calypso"
WH: Humphreys Cucumber Melon
ASB: Al's Calypso ASB
AS: Pinaud Virgin Island Bay Rum
Result: A very nice shave, I love this razor. Al gave me a sample of the Calypso ASB with my last order (Thank you Al). The blend of the Calypso ASB and the Virgin Island Bay Rum work well together IMO. I always liked the Pinaud Bay Rum, but blended with the Calypso, the Calypso brought the Pinaud V.I.B.R. up to a new level.
Not quite as relaxing as using a straight but had a very busy day.
