On another note, my daughters college diploma arrived today. I am so proud of her accomplishment It is nice to see her name on the parchment.

Jeff,
+1 on the NB Signature creme

CONGRATULATIONS to both your daughter and the family for such a fine accomplishment. I bet you're more than just proud. In such uncertain world of kids going off the tangent, it's nice to see them stay on the right path. Give her a BIIIG hug on behalf of both my wife and I.

Great shave Micahel. Love the Perez and the creme sounds awesome too.

PS: How you holding up health-wise buddy? Sounds like all systems are GO.

If labs come back all clear tomorrow I should be released to go back to work either Wednesday or Thursday. Hoping more for the Thursday release but hey! Everybody I've seen recenty including Glen-gssixgun and Gerrit said I looked like I was in far better shape than the last couple times they saw me. I told Gerrit that considering the shape I was in I basically had no where to go but up

Good morning friends.
Today my buddelized Wostenholm

.

Locale:	The happiest place on earth
Music:	Elvis - '68 Comeback Special
Prep:	Hot Shower / AOS Pre-shave Oil
Razor:	9/16 Salamandar - Salamandar Werks Foche-Solengen (again)
Hones:	3" chestnut leather
Brush:	Custom Silvertip
Post:	Ali Baliyki Alum - Humphrey's AF Face Moisturizer
Uber:	RazoRock Cacao
AS:	Gillette Sensitive Skin Balm
Edt:	Drakar Noir
Result:	I was looking forward to my second shave (or is it 3rd???) with this razor. I have rarely used one razor more than once every 2-3 weeks or so, and sometimes I think I might do better if I just used one for several days in a row. Since I honed this razor I thought why not this one. So, I'm going to continue to use this Salamandar as long as I can to see how my face reacts, how the razor reacts and how quickly it loses its edge. I'm not going to continually post pics of the same razor, even if I alternate the software. But, I will write about the experience here. Have a great Tuesday men!!

.

Happy Shaves Men!!!!

Mike

Yeah, nice shot. I love the razor (the scales and the blade, very nice patina, I hope you don't get rid of that!), but I esp like the echoing of the red in the strop and that other red object with the red in the Thayer's bottle. I like looking at these photos for the aesthetic qualities as much as wanton covetness :-)
