After 2 passes on the face with the Vost and 2 on the head with my Grandfathers Gem, the face is BBS and the head is shiny an a cue ball.
Shaves like this wont fix all the problems in the world, but they make you feel a WHOLE lot better.

Thanks for all the great posts and pics gentlemen, and have a great weekend.

Its the scent of the Cella that has surprised and impressed me. To be honest I didnt expect to be a big fan until I used it. I really like it.

Hope your feeling better now. A great looking shave too by the way.

I've had some troubles getting some really smooth edges on this razor, but I gave it a little touch up on my "C12K" last night, and it did the trick. My PHIG is a great one, it thinks it's a Jnat

Friday

Personna Prep Blade
Sabi Black Badger
KMF Lavender Shea SC
Nivea Double Action Balm
Old Spice Classic Cologne

Friday:

Shumate 5/8
Shea Moisture Black Badger

EXCELLENT setups this morning gents. Great way to end the week on a positive (and productive) note. Well done

Birnando: Love that JC and the rest of your "modest" collection (as Rene calls it). I just received my two "treats" in. An Alex Jacques and a Joe Chandler. Can't wait to shave with 'em to see what the big fuss is about.

Béla: Looks like a lot of fun was to be had at that meetup. Did you arrange/host it? There were a lot of sniffers there, eh, LOOOOOL? Looks like it was done in a classroom setting too. Love that Horsebrush too. But is it a 2 piece or is the horse head attached to the base of the brush?

Grant: Sorry about the "crappy" week buddy. I am sure the new week will kick start in memorable fashion. Hang tight buddy

Do I sense some kind of identity crisis?

Thanks buddy.

Woow, sounds like you are in for a huge treat there.
An AJ and a JC and at the same time at that??
Great stuff, congratulations!!
I can't wait to hear and see what you can do with two razors of that magnitude
