3 nights in Yosemite is too short, but so is your time and I understand. Will you visit the Tolumne Meadows? Much less crowded than Yosemite proper and only a little over 1 hour drive. Where are you guys staying in Yosemite? The Ahwahnee is fabulous. Yosemite Lodge is a dump. Wawona is good/OK too.

Beautiful combo Amund. Al's cremes are amongst the BEST for sure. Love that C-Mon

Jamie,
Nice shot and shave buddy. I have both Chubby 1 & 2 super (2-band) and a chubby 2 super (3-band). They're all excellent, but my preference is with the 2. 1 seems a bit too small for my tastes. There's not much splay in the 2-banders and at some point, I may pick me up a #3 super in 2-band.

Thanks Robert, I really like them too.
Cheers,
Béla

thanks for your information, Robert.
We tuned a Standard-trip:USA-Reisen.de -Western Wanderer-Mietwagen-Rundreise in Amerika -
...we added one more day in Yosemite (B.W. Yosemite Gateway Inn); one more day in Grand Canyon; one more day in Page and two more days in San Francisco.
We also changed some hotels.

Yes I know...we stay the night not inside Yosemite, but it is nearby and much more cheaper.
We like the furious scenic in the beautiful N.P.'s and I think 3 weeks is a good time for vacation. I know that most of the American don't have such a lot vacation all the year.

Be patient, Robert, I have some credit cards with me and I'll stay 2 days in Las Vegas!

Hello friends, hope all of you are well!

Tom, Sharon and the Feather...



Following a week in London and two days in Rome/Genoa with plenty of acquisitions, I'm gradually starting to get back.

Tuesday

Razor: Dovo Best Quality 6/8
Brush: Omega Boar
Soap: Tabac
A/S: Old Spice

One of the best shaves I've had in awhile with any razor! Topped off with Old Spice and my mid-short-workweek shave could not have been better!

I love it when a better than normal one comes along!

Prep: Tepid water applied to face. Proraso pre shave cream for sensitive skin.

Razor: Dorko 300-8/8 in new Teak scales manufactured by myself. The shave proved that the scales are functional with respect to stropping and shaving; the only negative I found was that the pivot pin needs to be tightened. More about this restoration can be read in the Workshop Forum under: A new Jacket for my Dorko 8/8.

Soap and Brush: MWFS in ceramic bowl. SRD Silver tip badger brush

Astringent & AS: Razorock Alum stick followed by Dominica Bay Rum.

Results: A good shave that left me CBS (Catfish Belly Smooth) HOG
