I was going to rest my skin today, but I got my newest brush yesterday Thank you Rod! It's such a fine brush and my pic doesn't do it justice! I should have test lathered/washed it before using it the first time, but I couldn't wait until it dried again . Hogged a little, like any new brush, but it was a W O W feeling anyway! Dense and super nice bristels, but yet not to dense, it holds water like nothing else. I'm so happy about this one, no wonder he makes pencils for Prince William, this is a TOP NOTCH quality brush straight through! I'll post a bloom pic later ...

A big shave tonight, 3 days growth on the face and at least 4 days on the head.
Its been quite a while since I pulled out the Wostenholm and I really should more often. What a great shave.
Three passes on the face and I'm back to CBS again. The head got two passes with the DE and is nice and shiny smooth.

Hope your all doing well, and thanks for all the great posts and pics

Robert, that Maxterpiece is truly a masterpiece. I love those scales with the transfered inlays.

Finally got the chance to shave but using a candle and cold water.

Thats dedication for ya. Seriously though, sorry to hear about the house getting trashed, hope all you guys up there recover quickly.
