Week of April 17 SOTD - Friday
Pre-Shave: Hot shower |

Results: Lots of good and new stuff. First up is my Henckels #17. She is the twin of the Henckels #19 (in Green Lime G10 clothing - featured Wednesday). This one was matched in similar G10 scales, but in Hunter Orange. The "Twins" go so well together (see this link HERE and tell me what you think). I love these Friodur/Henckels. I honed this one up myself and she is really sharp and super smooth (even Max would be proud - I think). Secondly, Rene sent me some Ogallala Bay Rum/Sweet Orange shave soap and I got a Mango bowl to put her in. This soap smells amazing (my wife loves it too). Thanks Rene :). I have become such a Bay Rum fan, that I ordered an entire lineup of their AS/EdC. The lather was super fantastic and the Friodur provided me with one heck of a shave. I love this BBS feeling :y. TERRIFIC all around. What a way to start this Friday. |
