Thank you Max

Bill Awesome Maxterpiece!!!!!!

Have a great day guys.

Rene, I do three passes and need a shave in 12 hours. I'd love to trade whiskers.

I wonder if anyone else's MAD has flared; his order list may reach Maximum capacity...

MAD set in with me long ago. I don't have 20 like Robert, but I'm getting there.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Polo 8
Razor: DD by Puma
Soap: Barbershop lime
AS: Old Spice Fresh Lime
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
When I got this razor I thought the handle felt a little heavy... but it´s in fact a pair of perfectly balanced Maxscales. Soap and AS went well together. Have a great weekend All!!

Nice Razor, you however just reminded me that I haven't shaved any of my BB's for quite some time

Prep: Hot Water Face Wash
Razor: T Noonan Arabic
Brush: VDH Boar
Soap: Arko shavestick
AS: Skin Bracer
Finish: Clubman

Simple as a hammer Friday shave. I think in the world of budget, serviceable soaps, I'd tend to give this one the nod over Williams on most days

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: Shavemac

Razor: Manaslu Extra True Heart M-55 7/8

Honing Regimen: Naniwa 1k, Norton 4k/8k, BBW, Coticule, Oozuku Assagi (Botan, Meijiro, Koma, tomonagura), Finished with water only on the Oozuku Assagi

Strop: Kanayama

Soap/Cream: La Toja Manantiales

Astringent: Thayers Rose

After shave Balm: Sabon

EdT: Brecourt Eau Libre

Results: A wonderful, smooth shave. The Manaslu performed just as I remembered her. She took a very nice, comfortable edge that left me absolutely BBS in 2+ passes. She's on her way today for Rene to give her a spin...

Cheers,

I don't have a Filarmonica but the Navaja Boue is a stout blade and handles well. The more I shave with it the more I like it.

It is the BEST soap I have ever used. Wonderful smell. Great lather. Slick and protective! Great shave.

Mikael, please don't use this cat as a brush!

I was waiting for the pictures of the cat after Mikael finished shaving it with his DD by Puma... That is why he was holding the cat like that, right?
