Summary: It was a lovely relaxing day and after a long hot shower I wanted to test my new find razor.. Result.. a nice BBS shave and a moment to remember 911..

GB Kent T4
Creed Original Vetiver
6/8 Le Grelot 3/4 grind
Roger et Gallet L'Homme
Creed Aventus (oh yeah!)

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.

After a very long weekend of 16 hrs days it was nice to come home and get a nice shower and shave.
Very long, hot shower with the whiskers prepped.

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.
