Mikael,
He does that because he wants to see the gear bro, LOOOL. Beautiful cats (both of 'em)

Thank you Robert! ¤#"& do happen and it was no biggy, I was most concerned over the fact I couldn't finish proper, just one pass in the face and I had to go. And cheers for the cats, the small one is an airhead and wouldn't surrive outdoors in the neighbourhood without her big brother, she's so stupied (really cute though and sometimes people just stop to look at her, but she's a total odd ball).

Nice blade there, my friend, but why so wet? This is not a Miss Wet T-shirt contest, you know

Sunday


37C Slant
Personna Prep
Domawood Silvertip
VDH Luxury Scented Shave Soap
BEA After Shave Balm

PS: Is that a stamped or unstamped Wapi?

OK will try show the stones this week. Wasn't aware of the stamped/unstamped thing for Wapis. What's the difference please, I'd love to know more, this was a recent impulse purchase, TIA

PREP: Hot Shower

RAZOR: Muhle R 102(2011)

BLADE: Feather

BRUSH: Rudy Vey Dark Chubby

SOAP: MWF

ASTRINGENT: Thayers

ASB: Skinfood Sandalwood

A great way to start off my Sunday . The Muhle is a razor that demands attention or it will get ya. But if careful it will reward u with an amazingly smooth face. Combined with MWF and some Aos Sandalwood EDT and Im a happy camper

AWESOME SHAVES GUYS!!!!

ROBERT ITS GOOD TO HAVE U BACK

congrats, I use the Muehle R41 also with the Feather-blade. It rocks!

Thank you Jamie on both counts. +1 on Max...He and I work very well together. He already knows exactly what I like...no guessing at all.

Took the W&B for a spin today and wasn't disappointed. The shave was effortless to say the least. Smooth as silk, 2 pass BBS.

T.,
Excellent choice...I guess great minds think alike, eh, LOOOOL? Love those W&B.

That's too funny Mikael...good thing she's got him to protect and show her the ways, eh?

LOOOOOOOOOL. I was hoping this would turn into a wet T-shirt contest of sorts. Mind you, with better looking creatures than you guys. In actuality, my circadian cycle has been screwed up. B&B has a wet theme starting tomorrow and I posted today instead...what can I say, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. That W&B was staring at me and I just couldn't resist.

Yahoooooo...I am going to go stone crazy until then bro, LOOOL. I bet they look nice.

As to the Wapis, I am no expert, but heard that one was vintage and one post production. As to the quality, I can't say for sure. I have an unstamped one and she is a fabulous shaver. Takes and holds an amazing edge. I have heard mixed stories about the stamped ones. I tried to hone one for a friend who owns one, and for the life of me, I could not get an edge on her. I am not sure if that's because of the "stamped/unstamped" versions or that he just happened to be unlucky in his quest. I would love to hear your impressions on how yours holds her edge.

What!? You don't want to see me in a wet T-shirt?? Loool.

Re the small cat: My theory is that the other cats knows she's stupied and doesn't kill her becuase of that. Once I saw her lying 2 meters infront of a large cat, in hunting possition (tail and back part moving and body pressed against the ground) and all of a sudden she leaps foward and puts her nose against the much bigger cats nose and takes a whiff ... I knew it was a "good" friend of our cats, so I didn't try to stop anything when I saw it, but it's not "normal" cat behavior, lol.

Prep: Hot Water Wash
Razor: Friedmann and Lauterjung Electric
Brush: Semogue 1305
Soap: VDH Deluxe
AS: Aqua Velva Classic

I gave the new guy the ball again today. Just wanted to make sure that the edge on this was properly sorted before I moved on in my rotation. Edge was in fact good to go. Great shave.
