Summary: Yesterday I received a parcel and to my surprise when I opened it I found this gorgeous brush specially made for me. Not only was the brush a surprise but I have finally earned my new nickname .

Haaaa. That's too funny Max (sorry, Razor Pimp), LOOOOOOOL. Congrats on the new brush buddy.

Jamie,
Every one should have a benchmark shave against which to judge all other shaves. But one must keep in mind that this benchmark is fluid/dynamic and ever evolving. Great job buddy

Great choice Matt, but I wonder if you and Max had a mind meld this AM, LOL

Wow, this blade is super thin (thinnest grind I´ve got) and super sharp/smooth and it´s just perfect!

Mikael,
You keep taunting me with this Les +++ Croix. I really love it. Great choice for today (or any day)

Congratulations on your niece's christening. A very special occasion indeed, which is reflected in this shave. Have fun

Very true...In fact, I know Max by this (and another) nickname, not his real name, LOOOOL. You don't really want to know my nickname (only Max knows it), LOOOOL.

Monroe,
I am officially requesting your nickname to change to "Indiana Jones" (it's fitting since you ike in Indiana too). I love this quest and this shave. L'Occitane rocks

Another fantastic shave with the SS. Great "straight"!

Beautifully executed shave Amund. Hmmm...Today must be Cade day. I must have missed the memo, LOOL

Nice choice Jim...What kind of Rose shave soap and creme did you use? It certainly sounds divine. One can never OD with Rose, LOL.

Sten,
First and foremost: Happy Birthday buddy


Secondly: Beautiful razor
Thirdly: I am glad to see you experimenting with the Fougère (it is a great scent). How was the splash?

Robert,
Thank you The fougere is lovely. I make my own aftershaves, it's been years since I used a store bought one. This fougere is a blend of tonka, oakmoss and vetiver base, lavender, amyris and rose middle, and bergamot, tangerine and ylang ylang top. I am loving it. Since the fougeres is such a large and diverse group of male fragrances, I also have other varieties in developemt. A spicy one, with black pepper and cardamom, a woody one with rosewoods, myrrh and amyris, and and.. heh, I better stop - we're getting off course here

She's like a little toy but shaves well. Thanks.

Any day I will ask you how many straight razors do you own, but not today

Robert, I like the Violets..Its fresh, clean, and not like grandma's toilet water..I'm not sure its for everyone's rotation..There's lots of glycerin so there's plenty of slide and cushion..I have the Rose too..Between them I prefer the Rose scent..Both creams provide excellent shaves....

Beautiful kit you used today (again)..We know, you can't help it....
