The last time I used this razor the results were "OK" but today they were excellent. Not sure if it was the prep (good this time or bad last time) or the strop but it felt a much better edge today.

Great lookin' shaves gents.

I need to get my lazy ass outta bed a bit earlier if I want to contribute; two weeks into a new schedule and I can't quite get it together!

That being said edges are getting more refined shaves are a little bit closer and lathers are a bit more luxurious... but if I don't get a good cup of coffee in me before heading into the office (where the coffee ain't so good) my day just doesn't feel right... no matter how good the shave was.

Good Morning

(It's not really a Christmas theme. The situation is a little bit "more difficult" in Hungary. In the brain of the Hungarian children are a desorder, because, in my country we have a San Nicolas, who, in the night of 6th of decembre left a little pocket (chocclets) in the windous of the flats of good children, he has red cloths and great white beard.
In the Christmas night the presents taken from Little Jezus for the Cristians people under of the pine tree.
But in the films of British and American, He arrive with the old Santa Claus. My children never understanding until growing up. )

Have a great day all.
