You know what? I'd make the moustache narrower, not quite like a pencil moustache but still narrow, and I'd keep the soul patch (below the bottom lip), and I'd get rid of the hair on the chin. But I'd make the soul patch more oblong than triangular...

Congrats. My 25th is on the 4th of July. Independence day I understand. Independence day? Yeah. Right.

Prep: 25 minute run, cool shower
Razor: Torrey Barber Tip
Brush: Semogue 2000
Soap: Clearly Natural Honeysuckle
AS: Nivea Double Action Balm/ Skin Bracer
Finish: A pipe full of Prince Albert and a cold Pabst Blue Ribbon on the lanai
Results: Great shave! I'm really warming up to the late night shaves. This soap is actually pretty remarkable. It's not even a purpose built shaving soap but being a glycerin soap it does seem to do a passable job in the shaving soap role. It's not L'Occitane Cade or Mitchell's Wool Fat by a long shot but it has a decent smell to it and provides a nice lather without much effort. I like it.

Carl, you look like you're having way too much fun, sounds like a great shave and some great tunes. Cheers mate!

Thank you, Sir. I have an LP from Mr Cash; Town hall party, 1959. Live. The people at the party seem to be having and extraordinarily good time, and the photo on the front of the folk-dancing 50 year olds is really cool. I've got to investigate Johnny some more. Clearly he has had some sort of battle, some inner demons; judging by the video of 'Hurt' and his most recent album I have (2006). Though he seems to have been in to Gospel music for decades. I'm not even sure, as I type this, if he is still with us; I do hope so, but if he's not; I think he'd be OK with that...I'm definitely taking CD 1 of the album I THINK is called House of Cash camping with me...

Gave the Sheffield Kropp her very first shave after the restoration i just finished, and she delivered a BBS shave, very pleased with the razor, if i didn't know the razor and someone handed the razor over to me i would swear it was brand new, that's how good she looks.

I was lusting after one like that on Neil Miller's site a while ago. I need to make a decision soon on what the razor will be to fill a daily void. His site seems to offer some good options...

Hi Carl i've restored so many Sheffeild Kropp's in the last year you wouldn't believe it, they are a very popular razor in the UK, everyone i've restored made excellent shavers, Neil is a good bloke and sells some really nice razors. PS look forward to seeing Carl's Kropp SOTD.
