    Well I finished my shave with the ceremonial three passes, and my result was an awesome shave maybe one of my best so far

    Also I never knew just how good hot scuttle lather could be.
    Merry Christmas and happy new year Geek. That is a beautiful scuttle too. Nothing beats a nice warm lather. My all your new year shaves be as wonderful as today's

    Fantastic shave with the Nesbit though, very nice blade and Nannys soap was spot on combined with the Ronney and face lathering!
    Beautiful brush and razor Mikael. Sorry about the head nicks though. How's the ultraviolet AS/EdT?

I think it's a keeper! Have a great Day!
    Tom,
    What a nice blade...I guess Santa was good to you last year .

    PS: Weekend shaves are the BEST.

    And today will be better than yesterday.
    Hi Nathan,
    Sorry to hear about the "cold"...Yuuuuk. But, at least it looks like you more than made up for it with a wonderful shave using a fantastic blade. Well done

    May all your days be better than your previous ones...and get well soon

    J M. Fraser's is a shaving cream that is frequently overlooked, even by me.

    My trusty Bismark had begun to pull a bit, so I gave it a good stropping this morning, using the diamond sprayed hard felt and rough leather of my SRD paddle strop. Wowzer!
    Beautiful Bismark Monroe...but sorry about the 2 small nicks. Great to hear about the Fraser creme...thanks

    It was fabulous Monroe...when the kids are still in bed, the world is at peace...can't say the same now. They are off baking a rich Chocolate cake with my wife and I am catching up on my posts.

    The Acca Kappa EdC is real nice, imo. Top notes: Cardamom, Geranium, Heart notes: Iris, Violet, Base Notes: Amber, Vanilla. A very nice blend of scents and very pleasant. I like it a lot.

    That's what I call a beautiful shave (and gear). Well done and welcome back from overseas.

    Result: Wifey was out of town, so just me and my 2 year old daughter = worn out! I got my shave in while she played in her play area just outside the shave den (gated off for safety). I'm just now getting to post it, sorry for the uninspiring shot, time was a luxury I didn't have. The shave was great, 2 passes and very smooth.

    Glenn,
    Fabulous and stunning blade. They should be called WonderMax. Wouldn't it be nice if our daily shaves could act as a crystal ball? predicting how the day turns out, eh?
    Thanks Robert. I'm finally done writing them WOOOHOOOO!

    If our daily shaves were crystal balls, I think I'd have a lot less great shaves

    Glenn,
    Being worn out is a small price to pay in exchange with spending good quality time with 2 yr daughter...hope you recover soon. Enjoy your time though

    Great creme and razor btw

    Wowww...you found a store near you? I am envious. They do have very elegant brushes. I love the handle, which is made out of Wenge wood...that's what the soap bowl comes in. It is a beautiful wood. What I am not sure about is the quality of the badger and the specs (I think it's pure badger). Beautiful design though.

    Congrats on the twentieth anniversary. It surely is a milestone in a marriage. Wishes for many more wonderful years.

    What a great way to spend the day. I remember those days well. Now they wear me out in a different way, through my pocket. I would not have it any other way.

    Enjoy this time, it goes by WAY too fast.

    Now, off to Penn State to deliver the youngin back to school.

    Enjoy the day.
