I would be remiss not to wish my dear departed mother a happiest of birthdays in Heaven. She passed 4 years ago at the tender age of 48, entirely too soon.

Midsummer celebration shave

Razors: Max Sprecher + GEM Junior (for head)
Super lather: Nannys French Lavender + Proraso
AS+edt: Paco Rabanne, Ultraviolet
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Bowling ball clean :D
Today's Midsummer celebration day in Sweden and it's a big thing here, everyone (almost) has the day off and we sing and dance around a Midsummer pole (a lot of us, prob a majority of the population). The girls picks 7 different flowers and make a wreath of them and then they´ll put flowers under their pillow and the guy they dream about will become their husband.

Prep: Hot Water Wash, Baby Oil Gel
Razor: Boker Red Injun 102
Brush: Semogue 1305
Soap: L'Occitane Cade
AS: Alum Block, Ivy Club Pour Homme (great knock off of 1960s Shulton Glass Bottle Old Spice)
Finish: Pinaud Lime Sec EdC
Result: After a great shave yesterday, there really wasn't much to clean up this morning. I gotta say, I really do love this soap it almost pains me to admit it but this stuff is FAR better than Mitchell's Wool Fat. Straight razor wise, this razor is the founder of the feast. I picked it up in the same antique store that sold me the Micromatic. From that day to this, it has consistently provided great shaves with the bare minimum of attention. In fact it's one of those razors that seem to just get sharper with use.
