Oh brother. There is a simple fix to this: Change your doctor, LOOOOL. Get someone who can tell you what you want to hear...In all seriousness, sorry about the news Birnando...at least it's not something nasty, i.e., it will heal. That's what happens when you think you're 18 yrs old again, LOOOL. Great shave to make up for it though

Best of luck today Grant. Break a leg buddy. Crossing fingers and toes for you

L'Occitane never disappoints. Lots of nice, creamy, fragrant lather that is a joy to shave with. And the balm and edt make for a very nice soothing and delightful finish.

L'Occitane is awesome Monroe. Great choice, especially coupled with that beautiful Boker

WOW! What a shave! MdC soap, MdC Vetyver, Copra oil and Trumper's moisturiser. Those must have been two candy-floss-soft cheeks!!

Yeah, its sad to leave the kitchen. I went and saw the Executive Chef where I've been working casually to let him know and say some goodbyes. He said there would always be a job there for me, which was great to hear. But for now those plans are on hold, he understood that I need more than 2-3 shifts per week.

Are you serious? How did you happen to come across it on ebay? and how did you recognize them?
Grant

Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Brush: Comoy Badger
Razor: Gillette Rocket with Feather blade
Cream: Tabac
Astringent: Thayer's Lemon Witch Hazel
Balm: Nivea Replenishing
A/S: Old Spice
Results: Just a head shave today. I had 4 maybe 5 days growth on the head and thats a lot for me. Put a nice new Feather blade in the DE and did 3 passes. I've never quite achieved a BBS head shave but this one was about 95% there. Very nice result, shiny and smoooth.
I like to go all out sometimes and do the full 3 course post shave treatment on the head.
A very satisfying shave.

Have a great weekend boys
Grant
