Great shave today, Refreshed the Henck on my 12k and did 100 laps on the leather, this things is as sharp as eva. It was also a vetiver affair today, and my face cannot thank me enough. I am so smooth/irritation free and had no need for an aftershave balm.

AWESOME PICS/SHAVES GUYS!!!!

ROBERT HAVE A FUN AND SAFE TRIP!!!!

I seem to have survived my move although I'm hard pressed to point to a body part that doesn't hurt this morning. The Shave Cave is a long way from being in proper order but I salvaged a decent Sunday Dome and Face Shave.

Good morning, went with the 200yr old today scales courtesy of Glen six-gun. That’s a vintage blue Thuri / Escher-esque case with leather strop bottom. Not a razor for beginners.

Well, probably last post for a few hours. In a couple of short hours, we're off to Vegas baby. No shave today (maybe tomorrow).

Hehehehehe.....It's like "Invasion of the Razor Snatchers", LOOOL. If, instead of Israel, you came to CA, we could have gone and invade Las Vegas together, LOL. I promise I will leave a couple of bread crumbs for you.

Have a safe trip buddy.

Béla,
I really love that Barber's box. It's truly gorgeous. The razor matches her too. Well done

Grant,
What a fantastic shave. I bet once you touch this beauty up, she will pleasantly surprise you.

I know all his hiding places. Vivi tells me all the secrets. She & I have an understanding. She gets bribed for this info, LOOOOOOOOOL.

That is probably all true. I have to exercise self control....NOT, LOOOOL!!!!!!

Regarding the Maxeum: What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...hint: The Grand Opening will be announced soon.

She's a beauty Mikael...but then again, all your blades are. I bet she sings like it too. Sorry about the nick buddy. I am sure it will be yesterday's news in a couple of days.

Moves can be taxing for sure...Nothing is more relaxing after the fact than a nice clean shave (maybe followed by a cold one). Congrats on the new place.

She's a beauty Mike. I really love the "Thuri/Escher-esque" stone with that beautiful case. That's why "I want to be like Mike",
