After your "Amerika" wise crack I was tempted to take this statement a bit further. However, since I admire your sense of humor and your writings, I decided to leave to your imagination what I would have written.

Enjoy the day.

Ahhhhh....feels good to have a straight shave after a long day at work. I am still fighting the edge on this razor a bit, as it is feeling slightly harsh. I suspect the extra-hard TI steel might need some tweaking to play nicely with my face. Have a great evening, SOTD brothers!

Warm Shower, Stephan's Warm Oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
Custom Badger Brush by Tim
Truefitt and Hill Almond Shave cream
Filarmonica DT 13
SRDP1 100 laps
Razorock Aluminum
Lilac Vegetal
Vaseline for men

Fily always gives a nice shave anf the Almond cream goes well with the citrus oil.

Enjoy the evening

I unfortunately spilt a little coffee on my laptop keyboard about two week ago. As a result my SOTDs have a lot less text as I have to use the virtual keyboard to type some of the letters, in addition to the space button! I'll just let the picture do the talkin'!

Still practicing with the straights!

Prep: Touch up hone, 200 laps on horsehide strop
Razor: Imperial Extra Hollow Ground
Brush: Semogue 2000
Soap: Arko Shavestick
AS: Clubman
Results: The shave with this razor on Saturday was (to be polite about it) uninspired. This started out to be a proper haircut and test drive for the razor. The edge on this thing was absolutely insane! One pass on the dome was near BBS. I did a second one just because I was having such a good time and the edge on the razor was so remarkably crisp. I then decided to do a couple passes on my face as this morning's shave was none too agressive. Not only was the touch up on the razor a resounding success this was a nice relaxing and very fun evening shave. I may try night shaving for a spell but for now, I'm hunkered down with a cold PBR. Cheers Fellas!

Ha! Yeah, I know, I was a bit TOO witty. I got the 'Amerika' term from both Franz Kafka and also a Rammstein song. I mean no dis-respect to you or any of my friends here. I was feeling a bit 'disruptive' yesterday, I had a shot at quite a few establishments in other threads (including 'my own') :-)

Haven't posted here in a while, but I tried a new thing (for me)
I thought about using an essential oil to add some scent. WOW did it work!!!

You are right,but I have a stubborn group along the tip of the chin and unless I gave them an ATG they wont move out.
