Daddy's little girls, eh? I don't know how big your friends were, but very effective tactic. It would scare the living daylights out of any guy.

Glenn,
That's one of the cleanest and mint condition Pipe razors I have seen. I have one (A bigger blade, I think) with Max...can't wait to see what he'll do with it.

I used Trumper's with a few drops of Glycerin today. The lather just seemed to keep coming. Very thick, smooth and warm. It was such a rich lather tonight I stopped mid way in my shave to photograph the brush loaded up.

Enjoy.

Jeff,
Nice blade...I am sure that after a visit to the stones, it will perform like magic. Trumper's Violet is very very good stuff. Nice choice

I am definitely a soap guy but will use my creams here and there. Today, however, I was treated to one of the best lathers I have ever had. The Salter cream was a big surprise to me as I was not expecting much. Tons of thick, cushiony, slick lather that left my face moisturized! ...and to top it off, the French Vetiver scent is raw, pungent and highly addictive!

You're really trying to fuel my SSAD/SCAD, aren't you? First you keep taunting me with that Cade and now the Salter FV... What are you doing???

Ha! I love it! We are all enablers!!

Honestly, the Cade is a little bit of an investment with the dish....

However, there is no reason for you not to immediately purchase the Salter cream. It can be had for around $15.00 and the tub is so big, it should last forever.

Have a Great Night!

There you go again! Cool!

OK I have been waiting all day to post this, but the Dentist kicked my butt

This was from this morning, I finally had a morning with no test shaves and got to use one of my favorite razors...
American steel, NY made, Thistle Cut Co. and this one is exceptional, originally the blade was gift from my good friend Gugi/Ivan if he knew how good it shaves he would want it back hehehe.. She was originally honed up on the full set of Shaptons out to 30k, the edge is one of those that is so wicked sharp, but as smooth as silk on the skin...

Das Uberlather was a gift from HornM/Michael it is a local soap maker out of Portland called Escential the soap is the Himalayan and the cream is their Shea Butter and White Tea, combined with 5 drops of glycerin and you will be hard pressed to beat it at any price, I am going to have to name this uber soon

A two pass shave followed with clear cold water line edging and my cheeks and neck are still BBS after 10 hours... I followed the shave with a new Christmas scent from the wifely "Bleu de Channel... Not bad out of the bottle, but even better now since I added my normal 2 drops of glycerin per Oz ..

Some awesome pics this week gents ^5

This Cologne was amazingly inexpensive, but I really like it!

Thanks Robert! It's amazing what some semichrome polish & some Renaissance wax can do
