Thanks Robert,
but if I'm ready with a little Flash-gallery I'll send the link for some more vacation-pictures.

Semogue 830 : United Safety Razor & PAL Blade : Woods of Windsor SS : Floïd vigoroso

Prep:Hot towell
Brush:Semogue 830
Strop: SRD Premium IV English Bridle
Scuttle: none/Face Lathered
Soap: SRD Lime
Razor: National Cutlery “Napoleon”
After shave: Master's Bayrum
EDT: Polo Blue


Result: I fully intended to shave yesterday...but I spent the day traveling and it was so late when I got home that I decided to trade a fast shave at night for a relaxing shave in the morning. The “Napoleon” one of my favorite blades as it has a slant grind that really mows down the whiskers. The scent of the SRD Lime was refreshing. It is so good to be back home with my razors and in my own shave den. Thanks for the amazing SOTD's this week gentlemen, you make those tough days easier.

Have a great Shave, you've earned it!

Like all his razors, it turned out flawless. What a special blade to add to my collection! This morning I gave her a workout, and the answer is "Yes, she does shave as great as she looks!"

Glad to hear you are having a good time Bill! That blade is stunning work, excellent job Max . A special blade indeed , enjoy her buddy!

Back from the big North Woods...

Aura Glow as a Pre Shave Oil
ARKO Limon Shave Cream
New Forest #2211 Finest Silvertip
Manaslu "55" 13/16ths
SRD Premium I Strop .. 30 Linen/50 Leather
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Nivea AS Balm
Lucky Tiger Aspen AS

I had five full days growth to dispense with, so the killer Manaslu got the call for duty... Three easy passes later and it was history!
On the way home from camp yesterday, I stopped in the Turkish grocery to pick up a supply of yogurt.. There is nothing like some of the ethnic foods in the turkish market. While waiting to be checked out, my eye caught some shaving supplies.. tubes of ARKO and Dalan, and maybe more. Anyway, I grabbed this Limon flavor, I assume a Lemon/Lime mix. Not the ultimate cream, but certainly pleasant enough, and for $1.95, I couldn't go wrong!

I feel human again!



The view from the front window of camp... it renews the soul.

I feel the same way, very well put sir!

I know what you mean. When getting back home, I always realize how much I missed my other razors
