The razor performed like a champ!

Then...welcome back buddy. I bet you had a great time. It seems so from the SOTDs (thanks for sharing your wonderful vacation experience through pictures)

Here's a few more funny cartoons (science centric) for your viewing (and laughing) pleasure .

Brush: 24mm Thäter Silvertip Badger

Überlather: Al Raz' Custom Shave Creme

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

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

Cologne: Penhaligon Endymion EDT

Result: Today, I decided to use a puck of goat milk soap that Rich (aka, Zib...thank you ) sent me a few days ago. The soap was made by Shelly in Utah (Shelly's site). By itself, it didn't quite have the "umph" needed for a decent lather, but it felt very moisturizing. So, I mixed it with Al's creme to give it some life...No cigar. The goat milk soap killed the lather. This is better suited as a bath soap than shave soap (but it is moisturizing and good). So, I cleaned my bowl and started with just Al's creme. Nothing else to dilute the experience. It was all that was needed for a honest to goodness moist, überlather. The spicy scent of Al's creme emanated and encapsulated the whole atmosphere in the shave den. Ahhhh!! What a feeling. And just as I was transitioning into the Zen mode, I reached for the quacking Duck (Max' signature work is all over this razor) for the final touches...This "Whisker Wacker" as I like to call it (pun intended ) left me nothing but a surprisingly super moist skin at the end of the routine . Very nice feeling indeed. Super smooth shave to start another busy day.
