I think this is a great photo Andy and an even better shave. Nicely done

Blueman,
No picture needed for this shave to materialize in my head. Sounds like a marvelous shave.

Hey Oscar,
Sorry to hear you're feeling under the weather. Don;t worry about your daughter. Women always like to knock us men down, saying we exaggerate facts...We, in this forum, know better. Most of us have gotten this nasty bug and know what you're going through. hang tough my friend and get well quick. Sending good vibes and positive thoughts your way.

Thanks Robert! I have to say that these are two of the most moisturizing soaps/creams I own. Bill's Acca Kappa Uberlather yesterday inspired me to mix it with something today. This was an excellent combo.

7.30 a.m.
We'll do a short-trip to East-Saxony today.
I'll show you some pictures in the evening together with my personal "Evening-SOTD".
Have a nice day, friends!

Same two razors as last night. Just wanted to take them a little further today and test the edges. They are actually on the wrong stones in the pic, the C&S went on the PHIG and the Gotta went for a ride on the Thuringian. The Gotta has simply a wicked edge on it now, sharp, smooth, just wipes the whiskers away. the Crown and Sword seemed to show no real improvement, good thing it was already shaving great.
I used to find honing a little stressful, now I'm finding it kind of fun, in a challenging way.

Have a great Easter Boys, see you tomorrow.
