On the AK, It came out like a gel. Definately did not look like any other creme I have used before. I'm going to try it again with just it to see what it does. I liked the scent it lended to the LT though.

Tom,
What did Yoda recommend you shave with? Wosty or DE or both?

Dinatali,
Welcome back to SOTD. Great choice of software. TABAC rules. Well done. I love that 2-band D01.

The Henckels delivered a superb shave and I'm feeling cool as ice. Time to venture out into the “air you can wear”.

Glenn,
I do not envy you abut the weather at all buddy. But your shave is fabulously cooooooooool. I spent 5 years of my life in Houston and experienced extreme temperature/humidity. Weather you can wear is definitely not for me. Beautiful shot btw.

Bill,
Stupendous sounds about right. The LG is a true beauty (great find). I remember the time when you were not too crazy about Cade. I am glad that the uber is working out better for you. It is great stuff

Make sure "Little Shit" has enough water and shade (as if though you don't have enough to worry about, eh?)

And thanks for making SOTD such a friendly and hospitable place with all your comments Robert, we all appreciate it.

Thank you for the kind words mate. The pleasure is all mine

Notes: Slow and relaxing shave, I've been working on improving my technique lately and it's been rewarding. Smooth BBS.

Ahhhh...what an excellent shave with a nice piece of steel Sten. Congrats on pushing the envelope of technique.

Birnando,
That JC is indeed a beautiful razor and if the performance is as good as she looks, well...then "she's all that she can be"

It's hard to believe that 42 years ago I was glued to the TV with my parents watching a man take one giant leap for mankind. So much has changed...and today will be better than yesterday.

Nathan,
That is today? Wowwww...unbelievable how times have changed. Let's see what the next space mission will be in store for mankind. Great razor choice btw. Very fitting

Thanks Robert.

The Myrsol range of products are very good indeed. The Emulsion is a kind of fresh scent, slightly on the lemony scent side I would say, very rich and kind to the skin. By no means a one-dimensional scent, though. Not used it as pre yet but as you may already know, fellow shavers over at the Spanish forums do use it a lot and are very happy with it.

I also have the 'Balsamic water' after shave. This one in a sense reminds me of Thayers' witch hazel. Quite moisturizing for an after shave as well. Overall Myrsol products are highly recommended, if one has a chance of trying one or more.
