I decided to reach for the Acqua Di Parma soap/cream this morning and was not disappointed.

Glen,
Either way, you couldn't have gone wrong. Did the mrs help in the decision?

I love this theme too...I am making notes of all the razors I want. Actually NEED. This is going to be very $$$

Mark,
I love this shoulderless/faux frameback. Absolutely gorgeous. Great job by Glen. Swedes do scare the living daylights out of hairs, LOL.

Thank you Mikael...The MdC is an amazing soap. Everything one wishes for in a lather, and all with just 3 or 4 ingredients. Pure bliss.

Nice going Andy. Love the blade, but you have to watch Mikael. He's dangerous. he is what I call the "silent" enabler, LOL.

Jim,
This is the danger about the SOTD, specifically one themed around razors...You want them all. ALL OF THEM, LOL!!! But in all seriousness, every shaver needs to have a Fili, a Helje and maybe a TI in his collection. You will not be disappointed.

I had a massive outbreak of irritation on my neck 24 hours after my last shave. So I did a 1 pass shave on my neck and a 2 pass on my face. My face is smoothly smooth, bit I can feel neck getting irritated. Hopefully it's healed by tomorrow morning.

BB,
Great shave (and a beautiful blade) but sorry to hear about the irritation on the shave. One thing that helps me a lot is using Thayer's toner and really wash that face with warm water after a shave followed by very cold water.

Ahhhhhh. The moment I have been waiting for. The Pièce de résistance is...but, wait, where's the razor. I see the box, but not the razor. Hmmmm...does it exist?

That's a great looking brush too my friend. But sorry about the nick on the lip. Nice project with the brush holder too
