Given you're museum of shaving finery, I can only imagine what you call a very very special blade! Originally Posted by BladeRunner001

Robert's probably referring to the 14K gold, diamond encrusted Maxtom that he has stored at Fort Knox. Originally Posted by LegalBeagle

Thank you bro...This one is really going to be very special (in every way) Originally Posted by LegalBeagle

Robert,
Its good to see you back.
As for the "Mysterious Maxtom"...Don't worry. It will make its grand premier on Christmas Day--or shortly thereafter."Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." Mark Twain

Thurs, Dec 22
Brush: Vie-Long Horse
Soap/Creme: Cella
Razor: Yuma
Blade: Astra SP
Pre: canned goo
Post: Witch Hazel
Hair Groom: Gables creme-oil
Result: I used canned goo massaged into my beard as prep. I had heard that it made a good prep, and it seemed serviceable, but did not blow me away. The Yuma razor, really did shave well, especially for such a cheap razor. It greatly exceeded my expectations.

Robert must have either gotten a custom made by Messrs. Wade & Butcher or by Jose Monserat Pou himself. I just can't imagine what else he would say is "very very special"... Originally Posted by BladeRunner001

Friday
An (almost) all Proraso shave this morning; I’ll have to get some of the Proraso After Shave lotion so I can TRULY have an all Proraso shave.
I haven’t used the Proraso cream for a while. I forgot how it really lets you know it’s sitting on your face as you strop. BTW, do you guys swirl the brush in the tub or scoop some out? This tub is firmer in consistency than my last tub; the last tub was almost a cream; and I’d scoop a bit out into the bowl. This tub is much firmer as the last one, but it isn’t as firm as a soap.
The shave with the Burrell Top Flight was excellent. The pin at the heel end is a little loose, I need to work out how to tighten it (I’m not very good at ‘that’ sort of stuff).
Razor: Burrell Top Flight Pre Shave: Proraso Cream: Proraso ASB: Proraso After Shave: Dominica Bay Rum

Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?
