Balm: C.O. Bigelow Mentha
A/S: Old Spice
I received this lovely Puma from Rene last week. Tonight I decided to throw it in the deep end and put it up against 5 days of growth.
Very happy to say it passes with flying colours. 3 passes later and I'm squeaky clean and smooth as a baby's butt.
Rene also threw in a bunch of soap and cream samples, the Nancy Boy is the first one I've tried and I like it a lot,(Thank you Rene) and after a hot long day I had to use the Bigelow balm for that icy cold feeling. Its going to get a lot of use over the coming summer.
An awesome shave, its great to feel civilized again.

Thanks for all the great posts and pics gentlemen.

This Pure Foods, Cincinnati razor that I recently ePayed is likely the thinnest blade I have ever owned. I ran it through the stones and after shaving with it I think it may be too sharp. I'll see how it does on successive shaves.

Just janking your chain, nothing else Lovely razor today, Carl! ... but now I understand why you need so many instruction CD:s, since you're a very inexperienced mascara user, lol.

Better late than never, Mikael! I trust Father's Day turned out well, despite its inauspicious start?

Suzumasa | Chubby 2 | MdC + Custom Bomb - Rose/Sandalwood
Thayers Lavender | Sabon | Sigilli Ferfæn

An incredible way to start the week. I hadn't shaved since Wednesday, but the diminutive little Suzumasa "Solgen" Japanese blade had no clue! Fresh off the hones, its buttery smooth deftly edge slid under the hairs and left me nearly BBS after the first pass. Of course, it was helped tremendously by an überlather like no other. The combination of the MdC and this super luxurious Bomb was simply divine both in smell and performance. My week is starting out with a flourish, I wish all of you the same!

Prep: Hot Shower / Proraso pre-post creme
Brush AOS Pure Badger
Soap: Proraso
Razor: Beau Brummel #44
Post: Proraso AS, AOS AS balm
Result: One of those shaves when the stars line up and all is right with the world! What a great way to starty a Monday. All Proraso shave, face lathered and whipped up a thick blanket of cool goodness! The 44 is my go to razor and its purty too!

Have a Great week Gents!
