Sorry to hear about your illness. Hope it becomes a "past tense" statement soon!

Don't worry about all that stubble. The shaving gods have rewarded you with a fine gift at the end of your pain - that is going to be one heck of an awesome shave !! Believe me... I took 3-4 weeks' of stubble off after my Movember attempt and man did it feel good!!

Just remember to do a good prep and keep that straight really sharp!

I know this was posted a few days ago, but WOW!!!! This is one of my Holy Grail razors. I am completely jealous. How does this beauty shave? I think I know the answer. Thanks for posting this pic.

Returned from Florida today. It was 78 degrees when we left, arrived home to 18. I wanted to turn around and go back. Luckily a good friend had cleared the snow for me. There was unpacking and getting things in order around here and then a few minutes to relax.
I decided about 5PM to take a nice hot shower and a shave. I chose the Bow razor to knock off the 2 days of stubble.

Hot shower with Neutrogena Skin prep.
Warm Oil
Hannah ceramic bowl
New Forest Badger
Castle Forbes Lavender SC
Glycerin and Vitamin E oil added
Bow 7/8
SRD Premium 1, 40 felt 60 leather
Thayers Rose Petal
Vaseline for men.

What a great shave. The Castle Forbes felt so luxurious. The blade slid along my skin effortlessly and provided an absolutely fantastic shave.

LOCATION: 91324

Thanks for the kind words Zeus! The Globusmen Gold No.46 is one of my favorite razors. I wrote about recently over at B&B when someone was asking about the Globusmen razors. Here is the link:
