Well, in hindsight yeah., and all the good imported shaving products seem overpriced here. It sucks for those of us with multiple acquisition disorders.

I shaved a small portion below his side burn and back neck. He doesnt have much beard growth. She then finished the rest of the back of his neck, Side burn and up around his bangs. She did a great job.
That was very cool. I told her i will give her a razor and i will find a brush for her.

Cool.

Monday:

Shumate 5/8
Shea Moisture Badger
C.O. Bigelow SC
Dickenson's Witch Hazel
Nivea Sensitive Balm
Old Spice AS Splash

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 24mm Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger

Maxterpiece: 13/16" Dubl Duck "Satinedge", Full Hollow Ground, Spike Point (w/ G10 Jade Ghost scales + Hunter Orange wedge)

Strop: 20/60/20 (Neil Miller Linen / Imperial Horsehide leather / Imperial Cordovan leather)

Überlather: jack Black "Macademia/Soy" Shave Creme + Ogallala "Bay Rum/Sweet Orange" Shave Soap + Glycerin

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

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Ogallala "Bay Rum/Sage/Cedar" AS

Results: Another flawless shave today . I hadn't shaved with any of my Dubl Ducks in some time and yet this Satinedge has managed to maintain her edge ever so eloquently during my absence. Just a few "Gaussian" laps around the strops refreshed her edge to nothing short of excellent . Ogallala Bay Rum is always a pleasure to break out (whether it be the soap or as the post shave routine). BBS and ready for a busy Monday .

Have a TERRIFIC Monday gentlemen .

Hey Dom,
Don't look at me man, LOOOL. I am not going to let that thing get anywhere near the zip code of my MdC...Sounds like trouble, LOOOL

That's a very good lens Mikael. One has to be very weary of "vignetting" with these WA lenses. They certainly have to be tested individually with the camera of choice. Ahhh, so your Olympus is a fixed lens camera? You want a DSLR for sure with changeable lens options

Result: Absolutely incredible. I'd heard a lot about the Domenico Caraceni. So much that I spent a lot of time on my trip to Italy searching high and low to find it. I was not successful. Thankfully, a friend from here on the forums was generous enough to share this wonderful product.

Bill,
It's great to have friends in high places. Congrats buddy and well done on a fabulous shave

3 passes and its probably the closest I've been to a BBS on the head. Shiny smooth and feeling good.

Grant,
Sounds like a heavenly head shave mate. Well done.

PS: Hope you have a pleasant summer (you certainly have had a rough winter)

I feel for you buddy...30% more for products is not a good place to be. But, hey what can a man do, right? Keep rocking with those awesome shave mate.

Brilliant, Bjornar! I can't understand why you would possibly want to stop the little fella! He's a gorgeous dog, and I'm sure a wonderful companion in the shave den--especially when the shave den is as opulent as it was today!

King Cocobolo 22 mm Finest Badger
Musgo Real SC
Revisor "Seemann" 6/8 Full Hollow
Osma alum
Ogallala Bay Rum

Excellent shave with the Taylor's Eyewitness "The 1000" and Cade shaving cream (thanks again MvCrash!). I think this razor had never been honed before I got it and the edge is fantastic!
