Thanks I was thinking that maybe that pic wasn't up to snuff. So much for thinking. By the way that razor is grand

Sounds like an afternoon well spent, Bruce!

Maybe you can schedule more Garden Club meetings for your wife!

Yeah Bill, it's like a "Get out of Jail Free" card. Our wives don't care where we go or what we do, they just want us to go so,....us guys take full advantage of it whenever we can! LOL

Nice SOTD my good man...we are seeing a lot of the Kai lately. Seems like you are growing quite fond of it!!

BTW: is that the new EF or old formulation? How do you like it?

I'm really liking the Kai. I use the Feather Professional blades which are very sharp. The Kai requires a light touch, but if used properly, gives a very close and comfortable shave.

This is the old formula. Just for info, one way you can tell (without having the ingredients list on the box) is by the bowl. The old Penhaligon's soaps have the kind (Blenheim Bouquest or English Fern) printed on the soap lid. The newer bowls just have "Penhaligons" on them.

Prep: Hot shower--followed by Robeson bay rum beard prep method
Brush: Plisson - Faux Ebony - Pure European Grey - Size 12
SC: Irisch Moos
Strop: VB Red Latigo--50 fabric; 60 leather
Razor: 5/8 Henry Boker “Red Injun”
Astringent: Thayer’s Original Witch Hazel
ASB: Nivea for Men “Sensitive”
AS: Irisch Moos
Result: Well done…

Prep: Hot shower
Scuttle: SRD
Cream: Al's da' bomb "Bodega"
Brush: Custom TGN in cherry wood
Razor: Duble Duck Wonderedge 1/4 hollow done by Max in blue/green Paua shell
After Shave: Al's "Bodega" ASB
Result: a wonderful shave! I added some glass shelves to the shave den yesterday as well as an electric kettle. Today's lather was amazingly hot and I love the new home for some of my soaps and A.S. & E.D.T. What a great start to the week! Cheers!

AS: Witchhazel/Nivea ASB

Results: This razor isn't much of a looker, but it's quite a shaver. Mowed down 3 days of whiskers with a laid back 3 pass shave w/ no touchups. About as good as I've ever gotten. Even did well in the usual 'trouble spots'. Cream/soap combo was bracing! May have to clean this razor up and put some new scales on so it looks as nice as it shaves!

Smooth shaving everyone!

Great shave, it sounds like...I actually think that there's a simplicity that gives your blade a classy and elegant look.

That's good to know
