    Today I arrived home and felt adventurous. I prepared an early dinner to surprise my wife and daughters. I whipped up a bit of Italian Sausage with Broccoli Rabe over Penne Pasta. After dinner I took a nice shower and am now prepared to take the wife out for desert.

    Shower
    Warm Oil
    Dirty Bird Scuttle
    Gentleman's Best Signature series soap with glycerin
    Custom Badge Brush
    Kinsyo Frame Back
    SRD P1 Felt and leather
    AOS Aluminum
    Pinaud Clubman
    Vaseline for me.

    This razor is heavy in the hand but glides easily. I honed it a while back as one of my first. It retained a nice edge and did a great job.

    Enjoy the evening.

This also made it the first razor I shaved with off of J-nats as well, and I am happy to say I now know what that is all about. All in all a brilliant shave tonight.

    Have a great evening folks.
    Awesome! Thats sounds like fun.

    Monroe,
    I love it...begin and end this shave with Arlington. In between there's an excellent Tulip and a strikingly beautiful Henckels. My hat's off to you my friend

A refined masculine scent, but in most cases so far I would prefer to wear the Opus by Penhaligons, for example. I still think the Mill. Imperial is slightly more multi-dimensional than the Opus, nonetheless I have yet to find something so very special about it.

    Gorgeous that frameback of yours is, by the way...
    Thank you for the info Konstantinos. I don't know, maybe these perfumers are being stingy with their new formulations. The old stock "stuff" definitely carry more "umphhh" so t speak. I also like the Opus. very nice subtle scent.

    Thanks for the kind words about the frameback. It's one I snatched from Max when I visited him in Oct last year.

    Love your SOTD post from today. Have to agree, the C&S #88 is a top-notch soap but the scent just doesn't do it for me. Have you tried the C&S Oxford and Cambridge shave soap?
    Thank you Sachin for both the info and the kind words. I hav ebeen contemplating the "Ox&Cam" scent from them, but not sure yet. If it's anything similar to the #88, then I would rather wait. Thoughts/advice?

    Sten,
    Sounds like that meeting was straight up fun. I am jealous. Beautiful blade btw and kudos to Birnando for honing her up for you...He sure knows what he's doing when it comes to honing and anything shaving related and unrelated. I bet you got to see some wonderful collection of stones and blades. I am doubly jealous.

    I love you man...You're such a gentleman. But, I must say your post is making me realize I am famished...Time for dinner for us and wife's cooked up something special (don't know what. She won't say, but it sure smells great). Glad you enjoyed the evening buddy

    That Kinsyo looks amazing btw

    The feather popular seems to work better with a more forgiving blade. The Rapira delivered. A three pass DFS with out any irritation. The synthetic brush left a lot to be desired. I will re-knot it with a Turkish horsehair #6 and hopefully turn it into something special. All and all a good shave.
