Thread: Sun December 26th - Sat January 1st

Well I guess I should post something here before the end of 2010, sorry for the bad picture (Cell Phone):


Location: Somewhere in Wyoming
Prep: VERY Hot Shower
Brush: Burma/Boars Hair
Soap: Williams
Shave Cream: Arko Sensitive
Razor: Warranted Hollow Ground
Astringent: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
After Shave: Ogallala Bay Rum/Sage & Cedar

Nose, Thank You!

I love to see the fancy gear. 'Have a little myself, but LOVE the plain jane faithful gear. Along side my gucci stuff, A humble little Genco Fluid Steel I paid $15 for - takes a back seat to no blade.

'Don't want to discourage or put down the fancy stuff. I love to see it. I just think it would be a shame if the everyday was crowded out by the glitter and the glue.

Thank You for posting.

Excellent...what I meant by sealing the deal is the rock that she gets from you

Check out their bath soaps...they are really good. L'Occitane Vetyver is one of my wife's favorite scents.

Beautiful set of scales on that Dorko Rene, they really caught my eye.

Pre: Sauna
Brush: Simpson Polo 8
Razor: Shavemac by Dovo
Soap: Nannys Citrus Zinger
AS: Ogallala L&P
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very close
I had to work for this one though, edge is beginning to lose it. Half way through it started to pull and I had to do an extra touch up, to get my usual clean babyface . I enjoyed todays shave very much though, even the stroppping was a plesure, my new Miller cardovan strop is like driving a sports car. Very nice!
