After 2 hours of lawn mowing and a nice long shower, my 3 day beard was prepped.
Because it was an afternoon shave and the kids weren't in bed yet I got to crank some music, and that always improves the shaving experience.
The stars seemed to align for this shave. Everything was perfect.
Three passes with a fantastic Uber, and I'm absolute BBS. Honestly I cant remember any shaves better than this one.
When I kissed my 6 year old daughter Lilly goodnight a few minutes ago, she kissed my cheek and said I felt like a girl. I'll take that as a compliment

Have a fantastic week Gentlemen.
Thanks for all the great posts and pics

Hehe, it sure isn't , it's a reverse kingpin truck so it looks that way if you are used to regular geometry trucks.

I love this Joseph Elliot Best Silver Steel "Rangoon" razor! Great shaver. My face still smells like Madam Scodioli's "Briny Deep." Now I'm off to preach! Hopefully I'll smell good that people will stay awake :O

WANTED TO POST BEFORE THE LIGHTS GO OUT. RESCUED THIS GENCO FROM A FLEA MARKET IT HAS A LITTLE HONE WEAR AND SIGNS OF MISTREATMENT BUT IT CAME BACK WITH A LITTLE EFFORT. I HAVE NOT MET A GENCO I DIDN'T LIKE. GREAT SHAVER. BETTER POST WHILE I CAN ,HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK. I WANTED TO ADD THAT A LITTLE DROP OF AVOCADO OIL AND GLYCERIN MADE FOR A INCREDIBLE RICH AND CUSHIONED LATHER. REGARDS JIM
