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.

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

Sorry for being off topic here, but:

CONGRATULATIONS TO Cadel Evans of Australia. He's seconds away from winning the Tour de France this year. What a race for those of you following it.

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 26mm Simpson "Chubby 2", 2-band Super Badger

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: La Toja "Mamantiales" AS

Those of you that have one know what I am talking about and those of you that don;t...well, you need to get yourself one and you'll know too. Coupled with the La Toja, she delivered a first class, überluxurious experience . Thirty minutes of pure bliss. This is going to be a great Sunday. Wife and I are taking a break from family, gettogethers, nephews, nieces and going out on a date (maybe lunch and a movie? I am thinking "Cars 2" to catch up with the rest of the world. She is thinking foreign film like "Midnight in Paris". Choices, choices .

Have a SPECTACULAR Sunday guys.

What a nice shave Mike. Dipping in ice cold water sounds very interesting. It hasn't gotten that hot where I am yet, but will definitely try your method when we get there. Thanks for the nice tip.

Slept late today so I kind of got a late start on everything. Oh well, I guess sometimes you have to do that. Great dome and face shave 3 passes on the dome and 2 on the face.

Late or not, that's one great satisfying shave

Very cooooooooool Mike. Love that Bingham. Sounds like a wonderful day, despite the heat

Congrats Jeff on having Dylan out the kind of edge that is fitting for this beautiful RW. Sounds like a fun time was had.

Wowww Michael,
I had no idea you were going through such a challenge buddy. My thought and prayers are with you and kudos to your sister for being strong and having the courage to go through with this. But then again, that's what family is all about. Do keep us appraised of your situation (if you can). I am looking forward to seeing a "New & Improved" you (so to speak) with a new lease on life buddy.

Get well soon buddy
