Thanks Tom. It is the one I use the days I need a pick-me-up before going to work!

Thanked: 1072Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Strop: Illinois 835
Soap: Proraso
Brush: FS finest Badger
Razor: The Hybrid
A/S: Old Spice
Another HOT day in Coffs. Waited until 10pm for it to cool down a little for my shower and shave. The Proraso is my go-to soap on a hot day. I love the cooling menthol feel.
Result: This razor is a pleasure to use, very comfortable in the hand. wiped the 2 days of growth right off. 2 passes were plenty to leave my feeling fresh and smooth.
We've had some great posts and pics, sorry I havent had time to comment, I've been a bit pushed for time the last few days. I dont know where the time goes

Love the photos guys! It is my morning zen...I don't have a pic today. I received my Proraso pre shave creme...I don't believieve in pre shaves oils and cremes, but man does this stuff feel good when you prep with that menthol on your skin for a few minutes! I actually bought it not relizing what it was (it came as a kit)..I loaded my brush with it and couldnt figure out why it wouldn't lather...I finally read the instructions and discovered the peasant surprise..Anyway, good stuff..Followed that up with the DOVO bismark; Lucky Tiger A/S for the burn and Ogallala for the smell. I am ready for the day! Have a good one gentlemen...Bundle up!

Rene, I know how you feel. I removed a 1/2 inch sheet of Ice last night and again this morning. I don't know what is worse, the 2 feet of snow of half inch of Ice. Either way I am tired of it also.
No Shave today, just don't care to right now.
This is a great idea. I will stop on my way home today and pick-up another bottle of Scotch for tomorrow night.(I don't drink on work nights).
I am open to ideas on which one.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
