Thanks Robert! I was actually trying to emulate your shots!
Hopefully the nose will regain it's former prowess!!!

A lovely shave with two days growth the Feather AS gave those whiskers a good whipping, I rate the Vulfix Persian musk highly, it is such a lightly scented shaving cream it will fit in and layer with a lot of shaving scents and balms, my lovely Wife as a few well deserved days off this week, so we are off to the big city for a spot of retail therapy.

Slimline razor makes a nice change from my other Sheffields, most of which are choppers...an idea for a new mini-collection !

You´re welcome Michael, but I came out ok from that trade, too I still remember how good the steel felt in that one and how prestine she was... Lucky you don´t put the brush infront, you wouldn´t have seen anything, lol. That´s one large brush!

Sorry about the nicks...at least, they are symmetrical (equal opportunity side nicker you). Love that Atkinson


Micahel,
Mikael is quite the "closet" enabler, LOOOOL. Congrats on scoring a nice piece of steel.

Thanks Robert, noting serious though, only my pride got really hurt. Nothing serious

That razor´s sweet, Robert, some you don´t forgett and that, was without a doubt, one of those.

Tonight I was up against a substantial 2 1/2 day growth and this wedge is one of my favorites for such occasions. I decided to take my time and have a great shave, I did 3 very slow and precise passes.
Result: This was a phenomenal shave, I'm smoother than a baby's butt, with zero irritation.
Hope you all have equally great shaves today, and thanks for all the fantastic posts.
