I changed and drink Pu Erh tea in the morning...
Love the music choice...

Ta, we can only hope that peace and love prevail...

OK shave. Close enough for work.

Why I Like SOTD in Fifty One Words or Less…
“…I like SOTD because it allows me to communicate with people from a diverse range of backgounds on a wide range of topics, not just shaving related. SOTD, while allowing me to practice the hobby of photography, also allows me to gain knowledge on the art of the straight razor shave”…
The Über of Bald Frog ‘Wake Up Rosemary’/Faulding’s ‘Shave’ and glycerine oomphed all over the place.
The Törnblom rallied for a second pass, vanquishing follicular foe.
The Clubman, used with utter abandon, overpowered; causing spluttering, gasping and pulmonary distress (the effects still linger).

I consider once again getting some Fuji Velvia Colour Slide film for my 1950's German Twin Lens Reflex...)

Back to my standard two pass shave, very nice. Edge on the razor was good and the menthol soap/AS combination made my face feel cold and tight (like a motorcycle ride on a cold day.)
