A most spectacular shave today. I didn't shave this morning, knowing there might be a BB Custom in my mailbox coming back from Sweden. A package with some new shaving creams awaited me as well. The Penhaligons shaving cream is top notch stuff, with a wonderful scent. And the Brian Brown 8/8 was incredible! Nimble for it's 8/8 size, and Brian put on a really smooth Jnat edge on it, just a wonderful pleasure using it.

Nice shave!!!
She's stunning!!!

This is a great way to wrap up a Sunday stop a little early, grab the soap and brush and have at a nice slow relaxing shave.

Pre: Hot towel wrapped over a soaped face.
Soap: Red Clover/Leather scented soap
Brush: Rooney
Steel: J.R. Torrey 992
AS: RL Polo Sport

I should use this blade more often then I do. It feels good in your hand and shaves like a dream. My face feels smooth and wonderfully refreshed.
The pictures and Razors are incredible as always.

Have a great week,
Jim

Sunday Afternoon Shave
Warm shower with Burt's Bees rubbed into the whiskers
Warm Oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
Custom badger by Nelson
Castle Forbes Lavender shave cream
Simmons Barber's Pet customized by Grant
AOS Aluminum
Stephan's Island Lime AS
Vaseline for men

Today was a rainy, do nothing, hang around the house day. Watched some MMA and spent time with the girls. Someone made fresh cookies too!!!!
The shave was very nice. The CS always does a superb job and the aroma is incredible. If I could only have one shave cream, it would be the CF. The razor was great, sharp, comfortable and smooth. Grant certainly put an incredible edge on it.

Enjoy the rest of the evening!!
