I popped out early with my old Wirehaired Fox Terrier Blue now aged 14 to pick up the papers,

Amen Jamie.
Great shave. That's exactly right with Sandalwood. But there is some variation between Sandalwood (Australian, Indian, etc...). To me, Indian has the most intoxicating scent...I LOVE IT!!!

PS: Your dog (Blue?) is gorgeous. What a gem...He really doesn't look 14 (more like 6 or so).

A great start of a new day. An unhurried, comfortable and relaxing shave.

José,
Is the M&F brush new? I don't remember it...maybe I was too fixated by your photos that I didn't notice? Beautiful indeed. How do you like her?
