Tomorrow I am taking my daughter and her friend to American Girl Doll store. Where the BLEEDING of my wallet will begin. Its her birthday present. My friend and his family minus his son will join us. Should be fun.

Just out of curiosity Robert, have you ever tried an SE Razor?

Thank you Mark...unfortunately, I have not yet tried an SE...I jumped from the DE straight into the straight. But, I am thinking that maybe I might have missed something in the process.

Rene,
I got nothing but love for you brotha...nothing but love. I could never hate you, but I am looking forward to doing some of the workouts on the new DVD (especially back and legs)...and cursing you in the process, LOL.

Glenn,
Have a safe trip back home. You've been working too hard lately. You deserve a nice relaxing weekend with family. Be safe.

Nice W&B and what a wonderful decoration that Silvertip makes

Birnando,
Rain or shine, you always shine my friend. So do your shaves. Beautiful LIVI (what does the ATS stand for?)

BTW: MdC is a fabulous soap...How do you like the ASB and EdT? I found their shampoo to be less than interesting.

Excellent Mikael. That Ever Ready looks similar to one Mark (aka, Blugill) has, except that his is gold washed (I think).

Glad you're back on your feet...dysentary? no wonder you were dehydrated. Take it easy at work today and here's to a full on recovery

W&B "The Celebrated Hollow Ground"

Beautiful W&B...being spoiled is one of the positive great side effects of this sport.

Not sure if there's a cure or any first aid kits for wallet drain, LOL...these store (if they're anything like "build a bear" types) tend to be money vacuum cleaners.

As I suggested months ago, we should all move where José lives, LOL. The pictures and scenery are fabulous. It's not just SOTD, it's zen mode relaxation to the n-th degree. Well done my friend and thank you.

Rene,

Have fun. My daughter requested going to the American Girl Doll Store for her birthday 2 years ago. As SWMBO doesn't like to drive to Atlanta alone, my son & I were forced to go. After 2 minutes, my son & I decided that there were entirely too many excited little girls in that store. It was elbow to elbow in there!

Fortunately for my son & me, there was a Victoria's Secret in the same mall - hey, it doesn't hurt to check out the models on the store posters does it???

Thanks for the kind words buddy
I'm afraid I left out the latter part of the steels name, so no wonder you were curious About that one!
ATS 34 is what I meant to write, a stainless steel variant.

The MdC EdT was wonderful, lovely lavender scent. The Copra oil was very nice after the shave as well.
I wrote a little bit about it in the Aftershaves/preshaves subforum.
I'm on my mobile device right now, but I'll link to it in this post when I get back on my computer

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 24mm Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger

Razor: 7/8" Filarmonica Doble Temple #13, Full Hollow Ground, Spike Point

Strop: 45/50 (Neil Miller linen/Premium IV leather)

Überlather: L'Occitane "Cade" Shave Creme + L'Occitane "Cade" Shave Soap + Glycerin

Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue

After Shave Balm: L'Occitane "Cade" ASB

Results: As this crowd already knows, Filarmonicas are phenomenal shavers and this DT13 is no exception. Coupled with the L'Occitane "Cade" SS/SC, she delivered one of the best shaves one can hope for. My face is super BBS with absolutely zero irritation. I am ready for a lazy Friday at work.

Sorry for the recycled photo, but no time for a new picture today (even though it's a lazy Friday).

Have a PRODUCTIVE Friday gentlemen.

Thank you, but I don´t think these small blades are for me, I´ll try a couple of more times, again, though. Yeah, well, I´m a modest man, silver is enough for me . It´s a british Ever Ready though, maybe that´s the difference?
