Had a great relaxing shave with the W&B, Mama Bear's Northwoods Shave soap, and Colors AS splash and balm.
Found the deer antler this past week in the Southern Indiana hills. Have a great week!

Stunning razor!
The student becomes the master. Please share your wisdom.
Merkur was purchased right from SRP member. It is a beautiful razor indeed.
I received the T & H sample pack and I can't wait to try them all out.
I also have Wilkinson and Feather blades to try out. I am still a "newbie" and getting familiar with the different brands and trying to figure out my preferences. Eventually will try straight razor, but for now just having fun learning how to lather, pre and post shave preferences, and wet shaving jargon.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and experience.
Nice going Teiste
Nice blade Monroe (and for making my decision for tomorrow easy). I will be Böker-izing my shave tomorrow too.
Awesome Easter shave Mark.
Niiiiiiice shave Books
Gorgeous blades
I bet David. Nice acquisition indeed.
Glenn,
Great to hear that the company is on an upswing. Congratulations. But sorry to hear about the mess the tornadoes left behind. Glad to hear you and family came out of this one OK. Hope the rest of the co-workers and friends will also fare well tomorrow (fingers crossed). Great shave BTW.
Congrats Paul,
All good choices. Well done. I love the scent of Trafalgar too, but for some reason the balm leaves my skin a bit itchy after a shave. T&H pre-shave oil is also amazing.
Jason,
Mama Bear's rocks. She makes amazing soaps. Nice W&B too. I wonder if those antlers could be used to make nice set of scales. They are beautiful

Razor: Jose Monserrat Pou 14 "Medallón Taurino, Estocada" Strop: Ambrose Spanish Horse 25/50 Brush:shavemac silvertip Lather:Kell's Amber SS + Palmolive SC AS: Floïd Vigoroso EdT: Parfums de Nicolai, Cedrat eau de Cologne Summary: The Filarmonica brand is the most known and better spanish razor manufacturer. Before the use of this brand some razors were sold as Jose Monserrat Pou, the name of the Owner and founder of Filarmónica. This taurino is an amazing razor. Today my choice seems good, with this shavemac silvertip, but the soap is not the best for straight shaving (for shaving), I had to uberlather it with some cheap but effective Palmolive cream. Finally Floïd, never fails,...a good lotion with a classic scent. But the fresh "cedrat" is more wearable than Floïd.
