Another great Friodur shave, getting used to the size now, amazing.

The new "Maxtom" preformed exactly as I knew it would. Phenomenal! Two days growth wiped away with one pass. A stunning piece of work and a stunning shave.

Robert it's one of the Mothers&Fathers of Teiste, we let the brushes to go holidays, my Plisson HMW an Truefitt&Hill are in Utah, and the M&F and the Duke are here in Navarra. It's a great brush, a lot of bacbone, more than I usually like but it's a great choice, no doubt.

Location: Colorado
Razor: Henckles Friodur 4/8
Brush: Whippeddog.com 22mm Silvertip
Cream: Truefitt & Hill Almond
Astringent: Tend Skin
AS: Ogallala Bay Rum & Cedar & Sage

Summary: Starting with a Hot Shower, lots of Ogallala Bay Rum Shower and Shampoo soap. The spicy scent starts a morning off well. Followed by a ton of hot water face wash. Using T&H Almond shave cream, followed by some Tend Skin on the tender spots. Keeping the good old Styptic pencil handy. Didn't have to use it today though. Followed by some Ogallala Bay Rum with Cedar and Sage. What a great summer shave, and an excellent start to a Sunday!! My new Silvertip brush, supplied by LarryAndro, is an amazing lather maker, letting me whip up some of the richest lathers I have ever made! Using my newly aquired Friodur Razor (Thanks Roy) I get an incredible smooth shave.

Enjoy!!! and Happy 4th to all who partake!!

You know when you have to through salt over your shoulder, well, I missed ... Seriously, it´s a small container from a travel shaving set. You can have a small brush in there or a soap stick or some astringment powder... or someting completly different
