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.

I worked on this blade and scales and finished it up on Thursday, and honed it up, and wanted to really have some whiskas for this shave. Well this razor is plain awesome. It cleaned my beard away with ridiculous ease coupled with the MDC soap it was a moisture full shave, and I have an extremely smooth BBS skin. What a great way to start off the day.

G'Day. Nothing beats a big fat wedge for a smooth shave and this one is no exception. After my ususal hot towel prep and lather and wrap. I dip the blade in Ice water during the shave. It's refreshing on hot days and reduces ATG irritation.

Mark, that’s a beautiful razor. And for barber’s use only? Does the barber know that you are using his razor? LOL

You said it. Wedges are great for shaving dense beards. Ice water as a cooling replenisher during a shave? Hmmm… I’ll have to try that.

You deserve a rest on Sunday. If I could have slept in late today, I would have done so as well. BTW…How is the Manantiales De La Toja 1OldGI? Just wondering.
