Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W Razor: Filarmonica EPBD 14 Brush: Simpson PJ 3 Soap: MDC Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel AS: Aramis EDT: Aramis 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

Lovely day and a lovely shave, the freshly cut Rose perks of the job looking after my neighbours house and garden while she's away in Australia. After cutting the Rose using it in the photo, then later in a very caculating way I hand the Roses to my wife as a romantic gesture, then I can do no wrong for the entire weekend, result!
