Took the 4-5 day growth in nice swoop... albeit whilst wearing a glove. My finger is fortunately on the way to recovery but having a hard time keep it dry :(
Can't believe it's 10 years already. The day that meant my first trip to the US was delayed by a few days, but meant I eventually got to NYC, if on much more more solemn levels than had intended...

Razor: Fontenille 6/8 Strop: Ambrose Cordovan (20/60) Preshave: Truefitt&Hill Ultimate Comfort shave oil Brush: Simfix Super Badger 2 Band lather: Williams shaving soap AS: Aqua Velva EdT: Czech&Speake, Oxford&Cambridge Comments: A fine shave, with some products simple and known, but really able to give a good feeling. The Williams is a bit tricky in Navarra, maybe this puck misses the streets of New York were it was bought, it has required some work to give lather enough, but finally I have arrived to the end of the shaving road smoothly. A warm hug to the people in the US.

So I had a nice shower and a great shave after a long weekend. Needless to say I was deployed with some very heavily armed operators who were ready for anything. The nice part of the day was all the folks that took the time to thank us. It was heartwarming to hear their thanks and see their smiles. Some folks even asked, and got permission to take photo's with us.
I hope you enjoy the picture of the Lady.
