Is this one of those pictures that you stare at a while and you get a 3-D image?

Richard

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Omega Synthetic
Cream: Al's Bodega
Mug: Honkin' black coffee mug
Strop: Walking Horse 2.5" English Bridal with Canvas second 30 canvas/60 leather
Razor: 6/8 Dovo special
Post Shave: Alum from asian market

It had only been 3 days since my last shave but I really needed this one. I was starting to get that "grungy" feeling like a hobo. The end result was purty good all in all. I'm really looking forward to being able to be back in my own apartment but it'll be a few more days at least before the doc clears me. It'll just make it that much more enjoyable when I get there.

Shave on,
Michael

Sounds like a fun time Jeff. Well done on the shave too.

BTW I love the Frame back! Beautiful. I'm going to try and pull out the W&B Faux I saved/restored for Mon. I almost didn't even try but at the 11th hour thought why not?

Well, you know how the masses work...brainwashing by media. But at least, all of us on SRP have seen the light and will never revert back.

Thank you for the kind words...that Le Lumineux is one of the most amazing framebacks in my collection.

Well after a long day at work I decided to take a nice long hot shower followed by a try at the freshly honed W&B that I had saved from the garbage.

That is one nice save Paul. Can't believe she was (almost destined for the garbage.

Hang in there Michael. It's almost over and you will have that freedom as a new man with a new lease on life (thanks to Jennifer). Congrats on fitting a shave in between too. I bet it felt good

Thank you Robert! I'm trying out another one of Nanny soaps (changed formula) this morning and I'll soon know ... I bought the Eucris day before yesterday, we had a meeting here in London: The TSR walkabout sit down, great fun, lots of classic shaving shops (T&H, Geo F Trumper, Dr Harris, Taylor of Bond Street and all within short walking distance) and a pint with some shaving mates

Thanks Robert!

I've been thinning out the herd lately, sold most of my "smaller" razors raising funds for some very nice bigger ones (And my first custom coming in a couple months )

PS! Another beauty I'm pretty sure you will like came in the mail today, just about to hone her up now, stay tuned for tonights SOTD
