Maybe not the best choice of words on a shaving forum... :rofl2:

The sentiment is appreciated, nonetheless...

Wednesday shave has been completed!

Music today was easy, I got inspired when I saw Elvis Comeback Special beeing played here a couple of days ago, so Elvis it was. My first ever record was an Elvis single I got from my mother when I was a kid, and I have loved his music ever since.

Pulled out the Thiers-Issard 7/8 Ramshorn today, gave it a lesson on the Scrupleworks 3" strop, made a huge amount of Castle Forbes Lime, man I love that smell and perfect lather, using a Simpson Chubby 3 and Schwartzweiskeramic XL.

The bathroom was filled with the finest smell of natural Lime and Elvis Presley, and my face was ready for TI 7/8 treatment. 3 passes later my face was as clean as my eight years old stephdaughter, and TOBS Sandalwood aftershave gel completed the pleasant half hour. Now I feel ready for the gym before working the night shift.

Thank`s all for fine post`s earlier today, wish you all a great day!
