Another "Million Dollar" shave Julian

My dentist is amazed at the work he did saying that "those were put in with love" otherwise they would have had to be replaced years ago. My dentist warned me 2 years ago I was going to have trouble but I resisted and kept putting it off. Well, now I had not choice.
Today he put in a temporary crown. I have to wait two weeks for the permanent one to be made.

I always say that it's important to have; (1) a doctor, (2) a dentist, (3) a lawyer, and (4) and accountant in one's life. Looks like you are covered Jeff.

I thought for sure it was lost in USPS twilight zone somewhere. I was so happy it arrived for many reasons. Most importantly because it was from one of our fallen brothers. She is in perfect condition and shave like a dream.

Rene,
You must be the luckiest guy I know. Congratulation buddy. She's a beauty. That's the 2nd Miracle that's happened to you (first was the La Toja). I recommend buying a Lotto ticket. 3rd time may be the Super charm.

Nice shower and shave tonight men. The little Challenge is really that, a challenge to shave with. This is another little razor that burns the crud out of my face. However, tonight I experimented with a different technique that seemed to help with the burn.

Mike,
Congratulations on conquering this beautiful razor. At some point, small and large will work the same. Just make sure you don't artificially think you need more pressure with smaller blades. They can still do the job as effectively as their larger cousins. Also, BIG +1 on the Ogallala. Great choice.

Good Morning, Day, Evening, Gentlemen,

Another day off, Summer warming up nicely (Car Dash picture from yesterday)

Strop: SRD 50 laps on Poly Web, 100 or so on Leather
Water: "Cold" tap only (still comes out at about 40˚C, tank on the roof)
Lather: Proraso cream, cooling menthol
Brush: TOBS best badger (my biggest brush and purchased in their store in Jermyn Street)
Razor :TI Spartacus Dreadnought blade, Stamina Wood (resin impregnated Rosewood) scales (one of a pair I own)
Aftershave: Nivea after shave fluid.

Great shave today, enjoy your day.

Haha, I just read a thread about cold water shaves, I had better put a bottle of water in the fridge to try that.

Nice weather outside in Qatar, enjoy!

Here's our weather forecast for this weekend. I am not sure if I am envious, but it certainly would be a change.

Sorry to hear about the tooth mate, hope your feeling better now.
That razor is just so COOL, and so is the 'vette.
