Very good razors, easy to hone.

Hey Robert. Sorry to hear your sick. Take care of yourself.

Brush: 23mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger

Überlather: CarrieM "Lemongrass" Shave Creme + Proraso Shave Soap + Glycerin

Astringent: Thayer's Witch hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

Cologne: Creed Green Irish Tweed (courtesy of Bill, aka LegalBeagle)

Result: I guess the Vegas trip has taken its toll on me...I am bed ridden today, nursing a nasty flu . But, this little setback is not going to stop me from shaving. So, today seemed to be a perfect opportunity for using my Scheön Burg. There's no messing with this blade! It delivered a smooth, BBS shave with 3 passes. The lather was equally fantastic...I had received a free sample of the Proraso shave soap from a vendor on eBay and decided to mix it with CarrieM's Lemongrass shave creme...I could not smell it (due to the stuffy head cold), but I am sure it was awesome. However, the consistency and thickness were everything that I have come to expect from CarrieM's cremes.

WOW! That is a complement. Fantastic picture.

Today I got a PM here at SRP from the product manager at Weleda Norway. Turns out they like the picture so much they asked me if they could use it in a press realease about their products over here. Now isn't that cool? just thought I'd share.
Amund.

Thanks Monroe,
I've been pumping my system with lots of water (not much of a Gatorade person) and freshly squeezed lemon juice...Immersing my head in cold water helped keep the fever at bay last night.

Robert,

Try the Gatorade in a flavor you can stand. It contains more electrolytes than H2O. The electrolytes will do your body a whole lot of good and prevent dehydration.

Shavemac 21mm | MWF + Musgo Real | Hart Steel | Razorock | Institut Karite Balm | Pinaud Clubman

This is one of the best soap/cream combos I have used. Not for the preformance, but for the way it left my face feeling after the shave. Absolutely no razor burn or irritation whatsoever. I was shocked actually.

Good morning Gentleman.

Today I'll test my "vacation equipment":

soap: Proraso (it is hot in FL)
brush: a little one badger (brand unknown)
razor: Feather
ASB: Florena

Together with a Feather blade it works very well. I hope I get a good brush in FL.

Considering I honed it yesterday, as well as how I got it, this is the finest shaving razor I own. Period. Any one have a Novodur 14 box to spare?
I used Art of Shaving's Sandlewood soap and my Rudy Vey horn brush, followed by some witch hazel and Nancy Boy cooling gel. My lady is back home after nearly 8 months, boy am I glad she got home safe. Have a great week fellas.

after readin this post i am glad to see you finally got both of them home, i remember when you originally posted about her find for you. now you can enjoy both and not worry about either. have a great day bass

Thanks a lot sir,
I prefer to write in english too, it's more respectful to the other members, I am from Donostia in the Basque country, but I live in Navarre, in fact my ancestors were from Navarre:

I am glad to meet you here. As other people from Spain I knew the Dominican Republic in a holiday travel, that I enjoyed a lot, of course.

Hola donald, prefiero usar también el inglés por respeto a los demás.

Soy vasco, de San Sebastián, pero ahora vivo en Navarra, de hecho toda la familia por parte de mi padre procede de Navarra. Como muchos españoles conocí la República Dominicana en un viaje de vacaciones, que por supuesto disfruté.
UN placer haberle conocido aquí.
