An after work Delight!!!
.
.Locale: The land of Steel and Micarta Music: Allman Brothers Band - Live at the Fillmore East Prep: Hot Shower / Greek Olive Oil Soap / 'Fantastic' Conditioner Razor: Mike's Hammer Custom 7/8 Spanish Point Wedge by DC Hones: 5 laps on the Perfection, 20/50 felt / leather Brush: Custom 24mm Silvertip / Lather Bowl #2 Post: Cold Water Splash - Alum - Humphrey's Witch Hazel Uber: Taylor of old Bond Street Eton College Collection AS: Pinaud Clubman Edt: Black Leather Result: Man I love this razor. Great shaver, and fun to use. Gotta watch the ears though, ask me, I know! I just shaved my goatee for the first time in years, and have never shaved with a straight under there before. It was a new challenge, but I managed. A little raw, but it's not used to a blade, and that may take a little time. I still suck left handed, but I'm still showing improvement so I'm sticking to it. This is only my 8th month shaving with straights after all, heheh. I'm still trying to figure out how to use this razor to it's fullest capabilities. I love a challenge!
Happy Shaving All!!!!
Mike

Night Shave II
Prep: 3 mile run, lukewarm shower
Razor: Imperial Extra Hollow Ground
Brush: VDH Boar
Soap: Speick Shavestick
AS: Aloe Vera Gel
Finish: Manantiales De La Toja
This was a truly remarkable shave. Just when I had given up facesturbating, something like this comes along. With only two passes (N-S then S-N) my face feels like it did when I was 6. Bravo!
The older I get, the better I was

Great Tunes! Live at the Fillmore East is probably one of the top 3 albums of all time (IMHO, YMMV, etc.)

Good Morning,
Quick and dirty Picture this morning I'm afraid.
Prep: Shower
Strop" TI Paddle Strop 30,70
Brush: Muhle, Badger
Soap: proraso
Razor: Dovo, Master's
AS: Old Spice Lagoon
I have been growing an over elaborate affair on my top lip and chin in support of Movember. I do believe that the extra attention and an effort required to shave around it has improved my shaving skills, certainly I have had to use different techniques and directions.
have a Great Day

Mike...Congrats on sticking with it for 8 months. Now, it's time to tie up that right hand and force the left into action. Beautiful custom. Walt know what he's doing. How's the balance and feel? Originally Posted by mjhammer

Thank you bro...It's good to be seen. I missed you guys too. I have too many projects to work on these days (my own creation...so, I got no one to blame but me, LOOOL), but I do need to come up for air and a breather once in awhile. Hopefully some projects will pan out, get funded and God willing, turn profitable in due time. Originally Posted by mjhammer

Today is Penance Day- holiday ONLY in Saxony.
All offices, scholes and most of the factories are closed.
My office is open, because I have a lot of clients outside Saxony and outside Germany.
So I think I'll use my Castagnon (buddelized)- this is holiday enough.
