Thanks Mikael. This DD was one of my purchases (after my Respecto) after consultation with Max. I literally got her for a song (practically stole her). She looked in "horrible" shape, but mostly gunk covered. When Max through with her, this is what I got. I couldn't believe the transformation

Yesterday at night, I left Mexico City and I've arrived today to Andorra 20 hours later. I'm so tired that I only want to read yours comments, guys, and go to sleep.
Angel.

Welcome home Angel...Get some rest and you'll be in tip top shape by tomorrow, I am sure and certainly looking forward to playing catch up with your "home" shaves.

Saturday

I refreshed the edge of the Burrell on the Norton 4/8 and Shapton 16k, 20 passes on the Norton (8k side only) and then 10 on the Shapton with just a tiny bit of slurry and 10 without slurry, very light. It shaved beautifully. I even did ATG on my jawline and neck; something I normally leave for the more forgiving W&B. I did the ATG with no pressure at all, and holding the razor really lightly; just two fingers. It went through no problems at all. I love the sound this razor makes as it shaves; sometimes you get that really wonderful high pitched sound, but normally it’s like buttering dry toast.

Razor: Burrell Top Flight

Pre Shave: Proraso

Soap/Cream Überlather: Proraso, Musgo real

ASB: Proraso

After Shave: None

Locale:	Das Zimmer von Narben
Music:	Nirvana - Nevermind
Prep:	Hot Shower
Razor:	5/8 Dixon 'Improved Eagle' by Don Belanger
Strop:	PHIG 5 laps/ Paddles (Crox,Dia) 10/10 / 3" Chestnut 15/30
Brush:	Custom Silvertip
Post:	Ali Baliyki Alum - Humphrey's AF Jasmin Face Tonic Witch Hazel
Uber:	Original Old Spice + Spieck + Irisch Moos + Glycerine
AS:	Old Spice
Edt:	Old Spice
Result:	This night is an all Old Spice Night. Using my Eagle is really a pleasure now that I've got a way to examine the edge. I polished this guy until I was happy and it was one of the finer shaves this week. I've gotten such good shaves this week, that I only have had to shave once every 2 - 3 days. Not kidding. I'm really happy with the close shaves, but bummed because I really enjoy my shaves and no sense in shaving a face that doesn't need it. The combo Uber smelled FANTASTIC. I've got to try that again!

Happy Shaves Mates!!!!

Thanks mate. It's a PITA to mow though. Takes a couple of hours and at the moment needs to be mowed every 2 weeks.
But Its awesome for the kids, we have a swing set and an 8 foot trampoline, they love it.
