Not your Max, Robert. Max in France (new here but old member on a Europeen board I´m a member at). Thanks!

thanks Robert and Sharp, I'm glad you like the pic

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Razor: 6/8" J.R. Torrey Frameback, Wedge, Spike Point

Brush: 22mm Vulfix Super Badger

Überlather: Godrej "Menthol Mist" Shave Creme + Honeybee Spa "Orange Burst" Shave Soap + Glycerin

Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-Free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Floïd Spanish Blue

Result: I don't know...for some reason, I psychologically shy away from this Torrey Frameback. It has been a PITA to hone. I think after a long while, I've got it figured (still a PITA). It gave a relatively great shave...not perfect like a Max or Glen edge would give, but great. I am happy. I also used a wonderful sample soap my friend Rene (aka, nicknbleeding) sent me...Thank you Rene . This thing smells great too and lather very well. I mixed in a less than 1/2 the usual size of Godrej to give it some menthol kick without compromising the orange smell. I really liked the lather and was satisfied with the performance of the Torrey.

*********************************



That instrument in the background is called a Duduk....The Duduk is a form of oboe hand-made almost always of apricot wood, with a 1,500-year history behind it. The Duduk is strictly Armenian. No other musical instrument is able to convey the emotions of the Armenian people so honestly and eloquently as the Duduk.


Have a fabulous Tuesday gentlemen.

LEGENDARY post, STUNNING photograph, I want to hear Armenian music with the Daduk... Oh and by the way, I absolutely love that Torrey!

Very nice image, Robert. Glad to hear you're getting the Torrey worked out. I have a Honeybee Essentials soap that hasn't worked out too well for me without an uberlather. I guess I just need to keep experimenting to find that sweetspot...

+1

I knew and loved the emotional sound of the duduk, I think tha it produced a beautiful "melancholic" sound, made from air, sorrow, memories and peace ... The armenians have a great musical culture.

BTW great pic as always
