Awesome shave and shot Tim...Hope that's not your head after the shave, LOOOOL. It's nice to land NOS blades like that. Congrats.

Well done T. The right Sheffield will deliver amazing results indeed. Sounds like you have certainly found your shaver. She's beautiful

A nice thing is that since my last use of a shavette my straight shaving technique has improved so I didn't nick myself. A great close shave, no irritation, but I wouldn't want to do that every shave.

Nic,
Great experiment my friend.

Glenn,
Who can blame you? There certainly is that "je ne sais quoi" factor with these traditional instruments...especially when done right. I guess it really brings the "Zen" into Zen-shaving. Well done my friend. I love that shot too

PS: I have a Burberry "Weekend" too (10+ yrs old), but the atomizer is broke and doesn't work. Can't get access to the darn cologne. I like the smell a lot

The tidying didn't go so good - I think I will need the full week just to clean up the mess I made today - but boy did the shave lift my spirits! This was my first shave with Proraso and it was an absolute joy to behold, the tingle and scent of the pre/post cream and the soap was incredible - I had to stop shaving a couple of times till I could stop grinning like an idiot! Happy days!

Welcome to SOTD BD...Congrats (and condolences) on your first official day off, but sorry to hear that it was a bigger disaster than you had hoped for. How big of a mess is it? I hope you don't end up spending cleaning house for the whole week

Thank you my friend. We certainly do have a lot of talent in this one forum alone.

Nice snatch Michael. How did you twist EA's arms to let this one go or is it borrowed?

That's not my one, same model, (before I changed the scales) but think Michael has just bought one.
