    Good morning Gentlemen!

    Shave prep: Face wash
    Brush: Frank Shaving Finest Badger
    Soap: I decided to überlather today, Van der Hagen and Palmolive shaving cream with a few drops of glycerin.
    Scuttle: Robert Becker medium size
    Razor: C. V. Heljestramd MK 24
    Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
    After Shave Splash: My own Fougere, heavy in tonka and oakmoss.
    Notes: It's a shame I don't take the time to überlather more often. Thick, rich cushion of lather, tempered by the scuttle throughout the long, smooth and comfortable shave. Wonderfully BBS.

    Good Sunday Gentlemen.

    My shave today was a slow and gentle one. I started with some classic music, Rachmaninov`s piano conserto No. 2, softened my bird with hot water, stropped the straight with care while listening to the stunning beauty of Rachmaninov`s inner thoughts given to us all through the Steinway piano.

    I love the smell and performance of the Castle Forbes Lime, and pulled it out of the shaving den. As usual I had loaded the large Shwartzweisskeramik XL scuttle with almost boiling water. A two band Shavemac 26 mm D01 made the softest, delicious lather, and my snakewood Thiers-Issard 6/8 did a great job giving me a supersmooth face after three passes with touchups. It is a truly luxurious feeling when you touch your face trouble spots feeling nothing at all except smooooth skin

    Finished off with Fitjarsoaps Miklagard aftershave cream and a large cup of Kenya AA coffee listening to the last tones of a personal favorite concerto.

    Wish you all a fine Sunday, and thank you everybody for the great shaves so far today.

    [FONT=Century Gothic]Summary: I had grown a scruffy beard this week so decided to take my EPBD for a spin. Man, had I forgotten how great of a shave that baby can deliver. It cut through my beard like a walk in the park with so much ease. Combined with the excellent lather properties of Martin De Candre soap. BBS all the way. Not one micron leftover hair left. This was definitely one of those shaves that makes you smile.

    Gents, keep up the wonderful posts. Enjoy the new week.
    I love that Filly. When your done with it, I'll take it!!

    I am also a big fan of Aramis. Been wearing it for many, many years.

    Smile Sunday June 5th

    Had a great shave this morning. I purchased the razor off ebay. This is one scary sharp critter. Nicked myself a few shaves before I got my technique in place. The ingredients are eShave this morning.

    MWF Hand Soap,
    GFT Lime SS,
    Simpson Duke 3,
    Dovo 5/8,
    Razorock Alum,
    GFT Lime SF,
    L'Occitan EdT.




    Two points worthy of comment?

    1) This is my first Sunday straight shave!

    Just out of habit I continued to use my DE on Sundays. This was because of my fear, in the early learning days, of perhaps having to go to church with one of my ears hanging off!

    2) I found an interesting tip on the Internet (So it must be true!! ) of rubbing a couple of drops of GFT skin food onto the surface of the shaving soap prior to loading the brush. This not only softens the dry soap but the glycerin helps the lather.

    End result.......an amazing shave.
