Thank you and your wife. I don't know if your wife is Japanese, I have a very close friend who has a Masters Degree in Japanese Literature. He spent a number of years in Japan teaching English as a second language. He also spends one month every year someplace in the mountains with his Sensei getting his butt kicked.

She is Japanese. Your friend sounds like he has a very interesting routine. Enjoy this special day with your bride!

Geneva Cutlery Pyramid 5/8
New Forest 2211
Mitchell's Wool Fat ss
Thayers Astringent WH w/ aloe
Musgo Real a/s balsam
Woods of Windsor Edt

I managed to give myself the best straight shave I've had in a while. I think my face likes the Geneva Cutlery steel or else I just felt confident enough to really work on the final touch up strokes. The MWF lather helped provide a great medium for the razor and the Musgo Real balm remains one of my favorites. I had to follow it with the Woods of Windsor (another of my favorites). What a great start to the day.

A British inspired shave. Da' Fat led the way, whipped up by the New Forest (from England via China, but who cares?) 2-band badger. Today's choice of libation, again of British pedigree is the always warm and welcoming Harvey's Bristol Cream...

The wee Halloween punkin' has been touched by the frost, symbolizing the end of harvest and entry of a cold winter.. The little wedge blade is a test bed at the moment, and may be making routine appearances.
