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.

Since I started full time work I have had very little time for the forums, but today I decided to make some space in my morning to post here in the SOTD. I've missed you guys, hope all is well with all of you and that your shaves have been getting better every time like mine have.
Have a great sunday.
