Birnando,
Can't wait to hear what you have to say about this stone and her performance. From the sounds of it, you have got a winner on your hands...maybe

So, today I decided to shave with a Puma I picked up from Rene last week. I had a three day growth and wanted to give it a good try out.

Hot shower

Hey Books,

I just ordered Musgo Real Glyce Lime Oil Soap and the Musgo Shave Cream. How do you like the Musgo Glyce Lime Oil Soap?

I can't wait to give it a go. Looking for a nice shaving mug. Got my eye on the Dirty Bird scuttles, they look really great to use. This is putting a dent in my wallet.

Glad to hear it Grant! Brag all you like, you deserve it! I always wanted to go to culinary school, but I think the farthest I'll get is watching Food Network

Next shave is on Wednesday...giving skin a break between experiments.

Robert, I personally hold you responsible for my HAD Thanks for keeping us posted and for starting the original thread!

Very nice Jeff! IMHO, the shave after a multi-day growth can be amongst the best out there.

Excellent posts & pics everyone!
