Hmmm, starting with an ATG. Might try that!

Oh no. A German in the swimming pool. Scaring the children. Acrobatics. Interesting swimming costumes...

I think if I got lost and needed to come back here, I'd just like head for the centre of the universe (where Amerika is) and then head South from there...

I don't mind 100, unless it goes on for too long. Wish it was 100 now... But I actually think the earth around me is dreaming of Spring a little; I've seen a few new shoots on the trees and the Jonquils are out...

Just now I do not know. About two weeks I go to my neurologist.

Tuesday.

PREP: Hot shower
CREAM/SOAP: Vitos shaving soap
BRUSH: 27mm Omega - Boar
RAZOR: 6/8-11/16 PEROUX COGNET-frameback
BOWL/SCUTTLE: soup bowl
POST: Osma Alum

Prep: Hot Shower/ Proraso pre creme
Brush: Thater 4125-2
Scuttle: G5
Soap: L'Occitane CADE
Razor: Elyria Hardware Co. 5/8"
Post: Proraso AS/ CADE AS Balm
Result: This was my second shave with this razor, and what a shave! I found this at an antique store for cheap. It wasn't pretty but I liked the scales, figured I would sharpen it up and see if it was worth any more effort. This razor honed up quicker than any other that I have, and it is SHARP! After the first shave, I unpinned it, polished the blade and scales, back to the hone for a touch up and shaved this morning. Smooooth 3 pass shave and I am off to work feeling like a king!

Have a Great Tuesday Gents!

Tuesday.

Palmolive / FS Finest Badger / Merkur 15C + Feather / Floid MV / La Toja

Very good shave

Have a nice day, gents!
Angel.

Prep: Brisk 25 minute run, cool shower
Razor: Gem Featherweight
Brush: Semogue 2000
Soap: TSD Coconut Lime Verbena
AS: Skin Bracer
Finish: Clubman Bay Rum
Result: In my mind this razor is Gem's answer to the Gillette Tech. It's consistent, competent and comfortable but just not terribly aggressive, in fact at times almost anemic. Close enough for work though. My picture matches the weather hereabouts, I'm anxious for it to be over but we've got a few more days of it to sit through yet.
