Robert, OK but nothing special - less glide and cushion than Truefitt's Ultimate Comfort or AoS unscented, for example. French drugstores are full of these 'medical' shaving creams - some are good (Avène), others less so (this one...) - I find out the hard way by buying most of them

Thanks mate.
Oh yeah, Al's bomb is great stuff. I currently have four tubs of cream and ASB and I'm sure gonna get more once that runs out
Personally I still hold the CF, along with just a couple others, as the very benchmark in regards to quality creams though.
My favorite Bomb is the Saigon.
I see you guys have a few customs made up.
I should ask Sten to make me something nice smelling and then have Al make a custom based on that

Oooooh yeaaaaahhh. You are royalty in my book Monroe. You don't need MdC for that

LOL...I know all too well. That is a great scent.

The rain started... After a very long time... A "real" rain... Thunders rip trough the night sky... The summer was unusually long, and, I would dare say - exhausting. The smell of autumn fills the air, slowly but surely...

Beautiful (and simple) shave Andrej...Enjoy the rain. I wish we would get some soon, although temps have been gooooooood here.

I managed to get a shave prior to leaving so thought I would say have a great safe week all and I'l check in when able. Oh the Red IMP gave a great shave mixed with the UBER of the day...

Paul,
Nice to see you squeezed one SOTD before your absence. Great shave buddy. Be safe my friend and we will miss ya for sure. Hope you pop in as much as time allows to say hi.

Too bad she is a beautiful blade.

Sorry to hear about the edge and shave buddy (My computer is not showing images for a lot of you for some reason). Hope you're not giving up on this one yet. ERNs are great shavers

Hey Mikael,
Thank you for the kind words bro...As to your son, all I can say is: Kids!!!! If you take the media away from them, they are lost. He will change.

My camera is the Fuji S5 Pro...pretty old now. At some point, I will invest in a new one (full frame), but not now. The lens is a critical factor of any camera, imo. You get so much variability even when purchasing the same lens. I think it's best to buy a lens and test drive it with your camera and make sure of the quality. If it's not what you like, exchange it for another. The Olympus is a great one too.

Thanks Michael...I guess I'll just stick to the classics

Dominic,
Ouuuch about the uber brotha. That lavanda must be real bad. Not even MdC could save it. I would chuck it in the trash if I were you. MdC deserves better partners (actually nothing as it is uber enough alone). Gorgeous TI though. Love it

My bad B...I forgot that you had already a bunch of Al's Bomb. It's a good idea about Sten formulating a scent and Al incorporating it into the creme. Where do I sign up for that?? great idea. The two spicy ones I have were formulated some time back (not new).
