So, you use more pressure with the Hollows?

Gorgeous Puma Mikael. You seem to have as many Neil Miller's as I have Maxterpieces, LOL

Lol.
Thank you!
Well, I wouldn´t say pressure, the only time I can speak of using more presure is when I use a razor that´s dull, but it´s still more a state of mind than actually forcing the razor, if it doesn´t sound to weird. It was on purpose I used the term "more light handed" rather than pressure, I can´t really explain it in a good way.

For us here in Europe it is better, although not necessarily very cheap with respect to p&p. My take is that shipping costs are what they are and not much can be done about it no matter where one's location may be. Don't forget that with most vendors here in Europe we do not have this "free shipping over $XX" mentality, like you do in CONUS - that's an important benefit to me.

My sister came to Chicago a week back, stayed there for 4 days. Had I known, I would have alerted you guys in case you wanted me to bring some shaving supplies over. Next time when it will be my turn to come over I'll keep it in mind though.

Count me in!!

RazoRock Italian Master Barber Limited Edition Shave Soap - C Mon13/16 - Ey 24MM Custom Grade A Silvertip - Nivea

What a Great SOTD!!!!! I tried this new soap from Razorock for the first time and am in love!!!! It is THE BEST LATHER I have used yet that was not some Uber made by me. If you like thin dry runny lather this is not for you! I turned Robert and Obie on to it yesterday after I pressed it into a container and took the scraps off the wrapper with a butter knife and whipped some up (just to test it). No I did not shave at that point but I did sit around with a face of lather for 15 min just to see when it would dry out or fade...... still waiting. Excellent cushion and glide. Think Cella on steroids. A hint of amoretto and slightly sweeter. AWESOME!!!!!! The C-Mon did a fantasitic job. I think I have an itch to try and make Uber with two soaps, no cream. MDC and this!!! If you can't tell I 'm excited!

Thank you Tim.
Todays SOTD was shot at my parent's place, they have a big beautiful garden full of flowers and plants of all kinds. The scene of the shot is the pond my father have always dreamt of, and finally got to build a few weeks ago. I loved it, and couldn't resist using it in my shot
