Gotta 5/8
Semogue 2009 LE #19
Prairie Creations Mayan Magic ss
Thayers Lemon WH
Musgo Real a/s balm
Woods of Windsor a/s
Woods of Windsor Edt

Another outstanding shave this morning. The Gotta performed wonderfully with the Prairie Creations soap. Two passes and a touch up and a damn fine shave as a result. Great finish with the Musgo balm and the Woods of Windsor pair. And today will be better than yesterday.

EA,
Now, that's what makes this worthwhile. Beautiful shave with a beautiful razor

Sorry about the irritation Dinatali, but it happens sometimes, without any explanation. The variables could be outside of the shave. Don't worry, I am sure tomorrow's will be better

Jamie,
Sorry about the string of bad luck buddy, but keep the chin up...you will get your day under the sun. What are you looking for?

Mikael,
A razor with an attitude, eh? She's gorgeous. I don't think I've heard of this kind before. New addition?

Birnando,
That Otto Deutsch is gorgeous. Glad she's met your expectations. In regards to AdP, have you given the RazoRock XXX a try? I would say it's exactly the same scent as the AdP, equally great performance at a fraction of the cost. Highly recommended

I finally have the TI dialed in and this was one of the best 2 pass shaves I've ever had. Exquisite!

Jack,
Congratulations on dial in that edge and getting your 2nd best shave ever. It's a great feeling indeed. Well done.

Also, you're a man after my own heart my friend ;-). That QED soap is a wonderful choice.

Love (I mean absolutely love) the desert ironwood on that brush. Stunningly gorgeous. Great choice of gear today (and every day) my friend

I took my time this morning building a pile of lather in my bowl, then slowly worked it into the stubble. After several minutes, my face looked like I was sporting a full Santa Claus beard and the den was filled with the aroma of sweet almonds. The dilemma was what blade to pair with this heavenly lather, so I did what any dedicated wet shaver would do, I reached for a blade I hadn't used in a while. The Akatombow is a wonderful example of western style Japanese razors. The gorgeous frame back is clothed in some elk bone scales put together by Glen, and it makes for such an incredible balance both in terms of looks and feel of the razor. This beauty glided through the almond goodness with nary a care. In its wake, I found nothing but clean, smooth, moist skin. By the time I emerged from the shave den, I was a new man! Of course, the ritual cannot be considered complete until you've got a little smell good working and with the this combination, I had to reach for a classic, so the Knize Ten was applied judiciously and now I smell at least as good as I look!

Bill,
Oh my...from the sounds of it, you didn't want to get out of the den. I don't blame you with that kind of shave. Well done buddy.

Well I dont have anything in mind Robert, but I keep my eyes out for a few razors with a nice restore in mind, but there's a few restorers out there and we all must be bidding on the same razor. I suppose my luck will change in my favour shortly, thanks for asking Robert.

Regards Jamie.
