Hiding in the AC

Attachment 74284
PRE: Semi hot shower (don't want to over do it its only 11 and already feeling 90 something)
SOAP: My own Red Clover Tea whipped to a Uber lather with glycerin and coconut oil
BRUSH: Rooney
STEEL: started with a W&B ouch needs more work with the stones then followed Max's lead and got the save and the win with the DD
FINISH: A nice splash of Musgo.
All told a DFS the DD always leaves the face smooth and feeling great.

Well its pretty darn hot and humid so I think working on the W&B will keep me cool and out of trouble. At least I'll be in the AC.
My heart felt sympathies to our Norwegian members and the people of Norway.
Have a good day keep the great pictures coming
My best to all

Results: This new Puma was a pleasure to use. I have a few Puma's and they are all very fine razors with good steel. The Floris products are IMO very good, fully on par with the other traditional English houses. In fact, I'd go so far as to say even better than most of them

Good going Birnando...Glad to hear the Puma lived up to her reputation. BIG +1 on the Floris line. I have the JF and #89 soaps and they are not just good, but as "Tony the Tiger" would say: Theyyyyyyy're Greaaaaat!! How does the Elite smell like?

After 3 days without a shave I was feeling a bit like a caveman. The Hassal wedge received 10 laps on the CrOx balsa strop just for the occasion. She did not disappoint.

Mr. caveman,
I bet you look like Mr. Clean now...Beautiful shave. I really like that Hassal. Very fitting for tackling 3 days of growth.

Oscar,
Long time no show buddy...I missed your posts around here (and on B&B). Hope all is well. Glad you liked the Cade. It is a great soap (not the best, but great). Hope you find your camera soon.

PS: Savon de Marseille rocks. I have ordered a 32oz block and have used a bit of it...Very good stuff
