With all the coffee shots and talk lately I couldn't help thinking of a sign I saw in a cafè in Amsterdam this summer:

Brush:	Custom Silvertip in Burled Maple
Post:	Cold Water Splash - Alum - Tend Skin
Uber:	Tabac Soap + Speik Creme = Meh!
AS:	Lucky Tiger
Edt:	Stetson
Result:	I couldn't wait to shave this morning. I got up early, washed some cars, polished and waxed SWMBO's for her first. Came in for a shower and shave. The Tabac + Speik wasn't too great. A little thin for my tastes. However, it didn't stop me from getting a really clean 3 pass shave. BBS aint all it's cracked up to be. Those ATG passes can get really close, maybe a tad too close as I am kind of burning right now. I wonder what Robert would say about that!!! As in, Dumb *ss!!! hehehe. Have a happy Sunday all!

Happy Shaves Men!!!!

Well i was finally able to hone this razor up. My daughter, a while back, had ran it across a towel to see if it was sharp. Yea not too happy. Sadly i will have to bring her back because somewhere along the progressions it started breaking down the edge. Very fine jagged edge. This was after i shave and wondered why doing XTG pass it wasnt getting as close as she should. Oh well
