Robert,
I was told you are the godfather of SRP.
My English isn't so good, godfather is the same word like pate. Are you a member of the Mafia?
The razor Mafia!
Until today I thought the Armenians only produce good brandy?

Tom,
I've been told that too

So, now I am not only the godfather, but also a Pâté (chopped liver)? This is just getting worse and worse, LOOOOL

Not a member of the Mafia, but you told me I was a Gangster, LOOOOL...so, I must be part of the mafia

Good brandy is what we produce for sure, but I guess we are trying to expand into other businesses, LOOOOOOL

And as promised, the Bengall Cast Steel from yesterday, still in its original horn scales.
Still some more work to do to get it shaving right, but it is getting there.

That Utica is one nice blade Theseus. Congratulation on both it and the Bengall. Have fun dialing her edge in

A fantastic shave with the Torrey and the newly acquired La Toja soap. I've been a fan of the La Toja cream and the soap is wonderful as well. The WoW finish is simply perfect.

Nathan,
I missed your daily posts brother. Great to see your wonderful post today. Congrats on the a Toja SS and great looking Torrey. Wowwwwww....Fabulous picture too.

Everything about this shave seems perfect. Well done José

That sounds like a wonderful recipe...Cloves/Cinnamon/pepper is a custom scent shave creme I had Al make for me (I love it...spiiceeeeeeyyyyy!!!!!). I have a few of these EOs (need some more) and will give this a shot. I am tempted to add some Aloe to the mix as well. Thoughts? What kind of ethanol do you use in this formulation?

Hey Julian,
I am sure this razor is not entirely faultless. She was after all, deliberately involved in a whiskericide, LOOOOL. Nice shave buddy

Better late than never Monroe. No one will blame you for liking Swedish steel. They truly are fabulous.

Venice is truly a marvelous city...a bit touristy, but fabulous nonetheless. Enjoy your stay and we look having you back. Eager to see what kind of Vetiver you found. Max and Matt are salivating here (I can feel it), LOOOOOL

This evening I was tired so I did not feel like shaving. I needed to shave for work so I shaved while in the shower. I shaved this was for many, many years and actually realized I miss it.

Warm Shower
Stephan's Shave Cream rubbed into the whiskers
1959 Fat Boy, Astra Blade
Aqua Velva
Vaseline for men
Aggravation by my ultra liberal wife on Government issued ID Cards (security experts are evil)

No photo, I am tired and my wife is too liberal.

That is all.

Enjoy the evening.

Jeff,

Relax chief. Remember, you didn't marry your wife because of her politics.

Oh brother...these kinds of squabbles happen in the best of marriages. Just remember the day you said "I do" and I am sure you'll have a BIG smile on your face.

Aloe is great for skin, but I do not know if it is soluble in alcohol. Personally, I'd keep them separate. I am using the closest thing you can get to perfumer's alcohol in my country. It's an 85%/170 proof, unscented alcohol originally sold for use as disinfectant. People use vodka because of the neutral smell (but it is low in alcohol and so easily goes cloudy). I hear everclear should work?
