    Lol Nic, I knew it was a prank *blushing*, we had our "drink" in the tea room though, lol!

    Aaaa, the Hills of Buda.
    I went there while I was in Budapest at C.E.U. some 12 years ago.
    I fell in love with Hungarian nature and cuisine.
    Have a nice vacation Béla!

    Prep: Hot Shower
    Razor: C.V. Heljestrand Mk 4
    Brush: Omega Boar
    Cream: C.O. Bigelow
    AS: Aqua Velva Classic
    Finish: Murray and Lanman's Florida Water, Firehouse Wacky Tacky

    I really love this razor. It consistently seems to have that freshly honed feel (even months after its last touch up) and is very balanced and comfortable in my hands. It really is becoming a favorite and to be honest, I don't think I've ever had a less than stellar shave with it. As far as the rest is concerned, this would probably be my recommendation for "the" summer shave.

    Bela,
    Looks like a beautiful place to relax and have some fun. Enjoy!

    There wasnt a whole lot to shave tonight after a fantastic BBS last night, but the Rodgers took me straight back to BBS town.
    Its amazing just how good a great shave can make you feel at the end of the day.
