What a nice refreshing shave. It's been a while since I've shaved without drawing blood it seems,
but this freshly honed Lunawerks razor got me in and out without a cut.

Thanks,

Oh and I saw your TOBS St. Jermyn in your SOTD post just now, and I was wondering if you had tried both the soap and the cream? If so, do they perform the same? I have the cream which I really like, but if I am remembering correctly, purchasing a refill of the soap is only a few more bucks than the shaving cream tube but it would seem like it would last significantly longer.

MDC is one of the more if not most expensive shave soap. French and the shipping even though they lowered it is still painful. On the other hand it lasts forever so no prob. The Jermyn street is fantastic and I use both the soap and the cream. Today I decided to use the I Colonalli with it for a change and to see the scent mix. Awesome!!!! I used both of them today after I replied to your post lol

Saturday

Saturday is DE day. Really nice shave today; really nice. I got every last whisker completely with and completely against its grain. I can’t feel a thing. Result wise, probably the best shave ever. The Proraso Liquid Cream After Shave was the perfect finish to the shave with C O Bigalow, and the Evaflor ‘Whisky’ Eau de Toilette complimented the Proraso scent nicely.

I believe someone might feel my photos lack the use of effects, hence this result. I’ve included a link to a little video, too; another result of my fertile mind…


Razor: Mühle R 89 | Cream: C O Bigalow | After Shave: Proraso Liquid Cream After Shave | Eau de Toilette: Evaflor ‘Whisky’

It certainly is (was) plausibly implausible, it was a drawing by Franz Kafka. Kafka is my favourite author, and for those than know Kafka and know me that's not surprising. I love the way he writes; paragraphs of one sentence. Of course he is famous for Metamorphosis, and my favourite The Trial. I also like The Stoker, which became Amerika's first chapter. Here's the avatar below...and other Kafka drawings...

Yes, but we need a THEME. Who am I? What is the back story? Do I have powers?

Maybe we could build on the idea behind this one:
