When we show our visitors around the baths (as tax paying locals we get in for free) most of us know better than to take up the offer of trying the water.Last edited by Mikael; 08-16-2011 at 08:02 AM.

Thanked: 1185
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.
