Well done Angel...When you say you prefer the TOBS almond to the lavender, do you refer to the performance or scent? Curious to hear your thoughts

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 22mm New Forest 2211 Silvertip Badger

Razor: 11/16" J.A. Henckels #50, Full Hollow Ground, Spike Point

Strop: 20/40/15 (Neil Miller Linen / Imperial Horsehide leather / Imperial Cordovan leather)

Überlather: Al's Custom Spicy Shave Creme + Haslinger "Honey" Shave Soap + Glycerin

Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-Free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Proraso AS

Cologne: Creed "Original Santal" EdT

Results: A Glorious shave this AM after yesterday's rather busy day. Despite her small-ish size, this Henckels can hold her own. She gave me a fabulously close shave to kick this Monday to a great start. The Haslinger "Honey" and Al's Spicy custom were a great complimentary match up . The shave was beautiful in every way from A to Z. BBS and super comfortable to the max.

Have a MAGNIFICENT Monday gentlemen.

This organ was built by Gottfried Silbermann in 1730.

Boker King Cutter 5/8

La Toja Manantiales after shave locion
EdT sample that I don't remember its name as I'm away from home now...



Fantastic result and lovely feeling.

Had the 'Oslo job' telephone interview this morning, they said they'll get back to us by tomorrow, I reckon chances are slim but never mind. The effort was made and if it's not this one, the right opportunity will indeed come soon...
