Great Photo Bill! Try to enjoy your time there. As short as it may be.

I Coloniali/TOBS Sandalwood/Fischer Works #58/DB 1.5/25mm Silvertip/Nivea ASB



So nice to be back home. Pulled out the next in the rotation and gave a gentle smile. This razor never disappoints and today was no different. The lather produced from todays combo was refreshing(the menthol in the I Coloniali) and fragrant. Fantastic!!! One small weeper after, but CBS and loving it!
Gents, thank you all so much for posting and giving me hope over the past month-ish. when time permitted I even found a friend that has been using a DE and did not know of this site. Needless to say I pointed him in the right direction.

I expected for you to say you would tell us, but would then have to kill us! Best of luck!

Monday

Close to perfect smoothness following this morning’s shave with the Schulze Wiener Schaber. I’ve been shaving with a straight for quite a few months now, and only now am I REALLY getting all areas of my face and neck completely ATG. You know what I mean (possibly); sometime you just go N to S, W to E, S to N, and not TRULY ATG for all areas…At least I do…

The Body Shop Macca Root amazed at its willingness to lather, as always. This is really a VERY good and easy to use cream; I’d forgotten how accommodating it was after not using it for a while. It may not be from some far flung place with an Ümlàût over every second character on the box, but it’s a very nice cream.

The Truefitt and Hill Trafalgar’s scent lasted all day as always; a nice choice I thin k I made for the all-day seminar or ‘planning day’ that I had to attend today. I was happy to see a lack of butcher’s paper and coloured crayons at the seminar, but there was that ever-present PowerPoint presentation, with presenters proudly demonstrating how adept they were at reading from the screen behind them; even if it did mean that they had to twist their body quite dramatically to see the screen. Don’t you HATE that?

Razor: Schulze Wiener Schaber

Pre-Shave: None

Cream: Body Shop Macca Root

After Shave: Truefitt and Hill Trafalgar

Eau de Toilette: Burberry ‘The Beat’
