Thats one lucky little boy, his Dad might have to teach him about sharing
Your a true gentleman Jeff.

Another beautiful avatar, baldy!!!

Strop: Osgar Vintage Shell Horse
Brush: Silvertip Badger in Cocobolo
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Razor: Mutant #3 The Darkness
Toner: Thayer's Cucumber Witch Hazel
Balm: Nivea Replenishing
A/S: Old Spice
I took this one to the stones tonight to see if I could just tweek the edge a little more.
Then had a late shower and shave. It is better, but I just cant shake the feeling that I can squeeze a little more sharpness out of it.
Might have another little play tomorrow night.
3 passes and I'm BBS. Its always fun shaving with this baby, just gotta watch that point.

Thanks for all the great posts and pics fellas. Keep 'em coming.

While I was shaving my head, I suddenly thought, huh... I'm shaving ATG. so smooth and this with a two days beard.( Normally I my first pass is WTG).

LOOOOL. That's what I thought, but when you read the kind of stuff people shave with, I had to be sure, LOOL. Congrats on going ATG first on a 2 day growth

Mikael,
Excellent brush and razor. I still haven't got my brush from Rod yet...It's in US custody right now...Hopefully soon

T.,
That's going to be one heck of a great looking brush, I bet...Can't wait to see what you turn up

I love the look of that Bow...She looks like she just got off the factory floor. Glad you didn't cut your ear off...There can only be one Van Gogh and I bet you can't draw as good, LOOOOOL

No harm no foul I guess, my entire face is CBS. Secondly, this is probably the most underrated soap in my rotation. I don't shave with it nearly as often as I should but it has always consistently performed very well. It's affordable, lasts for a long time, smells great and gives a great lather every shave, so what's not to like?

Sorry for the one pass fail GI, but at least it evolved into something enjoyable. Hope you'll have enough stubble for tomorrow, LOL

Bill,
The DR Harris uber is one of the best (and easiest) one can hope for. The lavender is amazing. Congrats.

Angel,
MWF is perfect...It's hard to beat that soap and for the price, nothing comes close. Well done my friend

Hey Grant,
Loooooove that Mutant. I even like the nickname "The darkness". If you made another one (#4), you could call it "The Ghost". Together, they'll become "The Ghost and the Darkness", based on the Man Eaters of Tsavo (great book by the way), which are the true accounts of two male lions that wrecked havoc in Tsavo, Kenya.

Have fun playing with her on the hones...There's always some room to squeeze more out of an edge.

Congrats on a fabulous purchase Amund. I love the shot. True classic, but I must say that I think José's adventurism and "living on the edge" attitude seems to be rubbing off on you too, LOOOL. It freaks me out to see razors hanging on to dear life on the edge or ledge.
