Last night I broke a tooth and had to go to the dentist today. Needless to say I'd rather get sent to IRAQ with NO GUN then go to the dentist. After the stress of having injections, drills etc...etc...etc.... I was a bit wound up puon my return home this afternoon.
After the numbness wore off I decided to have a nice shower and shave and then take an afternoon ride in my little red convertible. The combination is always relaxing for me. Stopped and had a nice Ice Coffee and wound up back home a short time ago.

The shave was incredible. The aroma of the Cade just keeps lingering and is so nice. The razor was spectacular. Mowed down 2 days of growth in 2 passes. I did a third just to enjoy the aroma of the Cade and the edge of the Maxtom.
I tried to get a decent picture. Enjoy the evening.

Wow, you scared me there! Shaving while numbed by local anesthesia does sound rather scary, I'm happy to see your shave was incredible in a good way.

If I was suspicious Crash, I think your little red car is a Corvette. My brother has
one, they are sweet. BTW nice Maxtom.

You're welcome Tim. I hear ya about the sensitive skin and the everyday shaving dilemma.

Hmmmmm. I thought I saw a silhouette last night. My wife did too adn was asking if she was seeing things. I said yes and we both went back to sleep, LOOOOL. But, I am not worried. All of these products have a microGPS tracking device embedded in them, so I can know where they are at all times. If I were you, I would leave town in the next five minutes as the Texas rangers may be knocking on your door...LOOOOOOOOOL.

Robert we may have some gypsy/vulcan mind meld thing going on as I had pulled this set up out last nite!!!)

Great minds do think alike ;-). I love the setup and the Dorko Paul. Hang in there for a couple of days. Monday will be here before you know it brother.

Teiste,
I can't seem to remember, but is this your 1st encounter with Simpson Chubby 2? If so, what treat

I must say, I loved the Kiss My Face. Wonderful smell and lather. I don't know what it was, but today went very well. I omitted the preshave oil, used the kiss my face for the first time, and used my Lynn honed Boker (probably the main reason I'd imagine.) Perhaps some improved technique as well. Regardless, I'm pretty darn smooth and relatively nick free!

Another Boker day. Excellent Veto. And congratulations for achieving a spectacular (almost) shave.

PS: If the lather is great, there's absolutely no reason for pre -shave oil.

I still do, now more for the sentiment, I have come to realize there are many excellent suds out there that I have yet to explore, and even among the ones I have managed to acquire I now have better.

Nice sentimental gift Sten...I can certainly see the appeal (more than just the lather)

Johnny,
HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY

And what a great shave to celebrate the after party. The SRD BR is indeed one of the best soaps out there. I hope they bring it back

This razor has a small re sharping needed. Tomorrow or the next day better.

Ator 6 / 8 razor

Kalerolf,
Sorry about the weather and the "less than perfect" shave from this beautiful Ator. But, I am sure that once she visits the stones, she will be fine tuned and ready for action next time around (without any disappointment)

Got the La Toja and used it for todays shave. First off the scent, for me personally its a basic soap smell, not what I thought it was going to be, not a bad or a good thing just a basic scent, kinda reminds me of VDH soap. But the lather, WOW!!!! as with the MDC a little goes a long way and if it wasnt for the scent I would prefer the La toja, but just by a teeny tiny hair. The Musek is a beast , but a beauty ( see what I did there? ) and the shave was awesome, super close and BBS.

Matt,
Congratulations on getting the La Toja. It is a fabulous soap (for me, even scent-wise). That Musek is amazing. Did you do it yourself or had it done?

Sorry about the tooth and dentist. I hope he/she at least fixed the problem with decent results. Beautiful shave with the Cade/Maxtom combination. I always like seeing anything featured with your other "Toy". Well done and heal soon.
