I don't know if I'm going to have time to post many shaves this week. My parents are coming for a visit for the latter half of the week and we are still getting ready for Christmas. I'll definitely be back for Christmas Eve and Christmas though! Great shave today with only a small nick on my chin. Even though I'm posting late again, I still have very little stubble from this mornings' shave!

No shave today, but I did have this one:

Good Morning Gentlemen,

Another day out shopping with my daughter yesterday. I did manage to pick up a couple of things, nothing exotic I'm afraid. I got a Palmolive Shave Stick, I did actually use these for years. I shaved with an old Gillette 3 piece DE and a Wilkinson "Sticky" from around 1975 until around 2000, when I switched to a Mach 3 and subsequently a Fusion. The palmolive stick is something that I used regularly until I moved to Doha, can't get it there.

I also picked up a Lynx (Axe) aftershave , DarK Temptation, I sometimes use a body spray in the same fragrance (Vanilla, Chocolate smell) and like it. The AS was very nice, the fragrance didn't linger too long.

Prep: Run, Shower
Strop: TI Paddle Strop
Brush: Semogue 2030, Badger
Soap: Palmolive, Classic, Stick
Razor: Dovo, master's
AS: Lynx, Dark Temptation.

Nice smooth shave, Have a Great Day

Strop: MickR's Roo Hide
Brush: Comoy Badger
Soap: MWF
Razor: Gotta 120 11/16
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel

I've only shaved a couple of times with the Gotta since I restored it and the edge is still sweet.
2 passes was enough to satisfy me tonight. Feeling smooth and refreshed after a hot day.
Only 2 more days of work left YAY!!!

Thanks for all the great posts and pics fellas

This morning was special. Yesterday my New Böker Edelweiss arrived in the mail from SRD. Needless to say I was excited. The razor is stunning, it is a joy to just admire it.

Did a single Pass, razor cuts great! I am still learning, but this is one of the best shaves I have had to date. It seems they just keep getting better.\
