What a nice way to start a new day. Have a good weekend.
Dear Robert,
Oh yeah......the Honing business and its nightmare is yet to come,but would like to upgrade Lynn's caption...'Oh yeah.....still horny after all these years' LOL
Pre: Hot shower
Brush: New Forest silvertip knot in vintage barber handle
Razor: Henckels
Soap: Nannys, The Spicy One
AS: Prada
Strops: Neill Miller linen/cardovan 30/50
Result: Very, very clean :)
Today I went all in and lathered Nannys new formula from damp/dryish brush and added water slowly. When I reached a point where I prob would have stoped, I continued. I payed off, usually Nannys soaps needs much water and for this new formula I used even more (at least it felt so for me). Anyhow - Success :D - slick and protective lather in mass. This new formula is nice, aka da tits! :)

No way Rene! I've been traveling with work all week and I started packing a DE as a backup after my last trip where I didn't have my bag for a day and had to shave with a disposable from the front desk. I just wanted to give her a whirl for the variety (I only have 1 straight with me and I forgot to hone it prior to coming and it had started to tug a bit at the end of my last trip and needs a quick refresh. I've got a barbers hone I bought for travel coming so this will be a non-issue in the future). I really like the L'Occitane Vetyver EDT also. We don't have a L'Occitane store in STL, but my flight connected through Atlanta and I had a 3 hour layover...and what do you know, they have a L'Occitane store in the airport :y score! Cheers :beer1: my friend.Quote:

Surprisingly, the Manaslu, even with the poor prep, glided effortlessly through the stubble. I was BBS after two passes with no irritation at all. The Cade ASB is wonderful stuff and the scent meshed so well with the memory imprint I had from shaving with the Nomad. It was topped off with the DC 1913, which is a rose scent that really didn't grab me, but the wife liked it and asked me to wear it tonight because we have our weekly date night. And who's going to argue with a beautiful woman on date night?

Result:I did a quick 2 pass shave this morning as the Dovo needs to be touched up. It's off to the office for the day and travel back home tonight. Thanks for making this week easier with all your great pics and posts gentlemen.
Happy FRIDAY! :y

Great bunch of razors today gentlemen! I am bowing out for today's shave. I used my new DE yesterday, and it looks like someone threw a cat at my face...Apparently pressing to hard is not a good thing when using a DE..:banghead: Oh well live and learn...A least I can live vicariously through you.:beer2:
