Ha! I thought about you and your en-route 800ml Lavanda when I posted that!
After a couple of B&W shots I decided to overdo the levels in GIMP...

Three hundred and forty three days of straight razor shaving and my shaves are suddenly getting better by simply concentrating on the grain. I don’t want to put a number on it but I reckon concentrating on the grain is a huge contributor to the overall result. Of course, the sharpness of the Wiener Schaber and the creaminess of the cream helped.

Lets’ see if Mikael can desist from giggling and posting a school boy joke about ‘wieners’. I’ll take bets he can’t… :-)

Razor: Schulze Wiener Schaber

Pre-Shave: Sukin Facial Moisturiser

Cream: Top Secret

Eau de Cologne: Lavanda

Carl is that a feather boa tickling your wiener in the photo?

Ha ha, Carl used a Fukin Facial Moisturiser

You are absolutely correct Carl, thanks for noticing. Some error snuck in there, it was supposed to say quarter hollow.

And thank you, I enjoy this razor a lot
