Neil Miller is the man responsible for this ivory scaled beauty, and it's a pleasure to use. I rate these highly: it's the second one to come my way.
Thank you Robert! You got a very nice and welbalanced shot today! If you want some Dr Harris Sandalwood, I can send you a sample, I donīt have anything to put it in though, but that can be worked out. PM me if you want some.Quote:

Great shave today. The Acca Kappa is just so wonderful. The scent is fabulous and it just generates so much lather. Can't say enough about it.
Nice shave today in preparation of my drive to Penn State to pick up the little girlie.
Enjoy the day.
I'm sure you all know the expression "When it rains, it pours." Well it has been pouring for me this week. Just got an interview with another great company. Looks like I may even be able to choose between a few great opportunities.
Pre-Shave: Shower
Brush: Vestavia 25mm Silver Tip
Razor: Boker Edelweiss 5/8 w/ bone scales
Strop: SRD 3" Premium I - 30/50 fabric/leather
Lather: Mama Bear's Sandalwood Rose soap, GFT Sandalwood cream, glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Lavender)
After Shave: Nivea Replenishing
Cologne Splash: Mama Bear's Sandalwood Vanilla
Today was a great shave 3 passes nice and smooth. I'm also getting a little faster. If you haven't tried mixing rose and sandalwood scents before give it a try. They meld really well and smell is awesome.

No Rene', I don't have any Bay Rum Shave Cream. I just have the Shave Soap. The Ogalalla SS is really some nice stuff! Very nicely scented and it lathers to beat the band! :)Quote:

Nothing wrong with that, Brother. You've just described my entire collection. The proof (as they say) is in the pudding. In my experience, it doesn't matter how much I paid for it or whether it's brand new or not. What matters to me is results.Quote:

Thank you Mikael for both the kind words and the offer. Don't worry about sending a sample through snail mail...It's easy enough to pick Sandalwood AS here from SRD...It would be a hassle to ship. But, thanks for the offer buddy.Quote:

soap: Mitchell's
brush: Muehle
ASB: Florena

It is a really beauty. Thanks Jose and thanks Gabor.
You could mix the Ogallala SS with some Musgo Real SC Rene' and it will make some nicely scented Uber. The Musgo gives the mix a more smooth and creamy texture instead of the waxy feel of the Ogallala SS lather by itself. You might give it a try, it's really pretty nice and the great scent is still there from the Ogallala. :)Quote:

Ahh, nice one! Refreshing, close and effortless :). This blade turned out to be very good, it looked close to NOS first, but then needed a lot of resoration to get back in shape. Now itīs close in action to my lovely Three Crosses razor though - A shaver :)
