    Default A Jet-Lag Induced early shave

    Razor: Joe Chandler 7/8 Barber's Notch
    Strop: Kanayama
    Uber: DR Harris Almond + AK 1869
    Brush: Simpson Chubby 2 2-Band
    Toner: Thayers Lavender
    ASB: Sabon
    EdT: Villoresi Piper Nigrum

    Result: With 8-days of growth, I was looking forward to a nice and relaxing shave. The Chandler did not disappoint. The first pass removed most of the growth, and after the second pass I was near BBS. A third pass, both for the sheer luxury of this combination, and to finish the job left me BBS smooth!

    I apologize for the poor quality picture (as I mentioned in a prior post, I'm relegated to the iPhone because the real camera died in Rome), but wanted to highlight a few of my new acquisitions while in Europe: The backdrop is our "new" 70-year old Persian rug, and I've included the new cologne and a hand-hammered copper bowl from Istanbul.

    It's good to be back, gentlemen, and thank's for all your SOTD contributions!
