I am very much enjoying my evening shaves. I get to sit at at my desk and enjoy the afterglow without sweating and being distracted by life.

I honed this razor myself and it was nowhere near as close a shave as I experienced with my new Bismark (honed by Lynn). I have a lot of learning to do, but most of my face is smooth

Hey Books,
How do you like the Pinaud Clubman? I heard it's clearly a love/hate relationship.

Rene,
That is horrible...I think that this is exactly why it's very important to get down on your knees every day and count your blessings for being amongst the living. In all her fury, Nature does not discriminate.

Great SOTD. Your honing will just get better and better with practice. Man I dig that keyboard. My brain is still ticking away on steampunk projects since seeing your razors.

Have a great day all!

Good morning.

I've stopped straight shaving for a while, too lazy and tired in the mornings.
The irritation in the neck came back, of course; one more proof there's nothing more natural for the skin in shaving other than with a straight.

For those who have not given a go to Bulgari's "Black" fragrance, they should. It's a powerful yet refined scent in my opinion.
