Barry,

I'm glad to hear that you decided to hold on to your dubl duck Wonderedge. They are indeed nice razors.

I'm afraid I didn't bring the camera today, but here's a couple shots I took of the same route on an earlier trip. It's just a short trip out in the forrest around here, so nothing fancy really.
I used to fish all summer long in these small ponds as a kid, and I do love being out there, walking the dog, or just relaxing with a good trip in the calm of the forrest

This first little pond was my favorite bathing spot growing up. Lots of memories from here.



Here's my favirote fishing spot, I didn't catch all that much, but dang, we had great fun trying!



And finally, a shot back towards home from a high point in the terrain just by that first lake.

Razor: Clossman branded T. Hessen Bruch
Prep: hot water, hair conditioner
Brush: van der Hagen (boar)
Soap: Top Secret shave cream
A/S: Joop Homme
Result: A great shave

Prep: Hot Water Wash, Baby Oil Gel
Razor: Friedmann and Lauterjung Electric
Brush: Semogue 1305
Soap: L'Occitane Cade
AS: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Finish: Brute Cologne
Tunes: Bad Company- Feel Like Makin' Love, Rolling Stones- Start Me Up, Aerosmith- Sweet Emotion

Your basic one pass weekend shave. The edge on this razor coupled with it's weight and thickness seem to result in just great, very close shaves. It's a beautiful day and I'm off to the beach.
