I had a craving for citrus so what's not better than my beloved CF Lime, Booster Lime and some Sardines with lemon as a snack.
A great shave that put a big smile on my face and a great snack that put another smile on my face. Combined with a gorgeous sunny day, it was a total zen day.
Tonight I had the pleasure to have Thomas aka eTom and his lovely wife for a BBQ at my home. It was a blast. It was a sad moment seeing them leave but they are leaving Vegas tomorrow to continue their holiday destinations. I wish them a great and safe continued stay in USA.

Thanks to all for your participation. Enjoy the new week gents!

I love this razor, great shave but really its because its the first razor I honed myself. Beginners luck most definitely but none the less it was most gratifying doing it myself. A first using Cella soap as well
a cheap soap but certainly not nasty

Good morning Gentlemen!

Razor: C. V. Heljestrand Mk 4, around 11/16
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: Herbal Chypre home made splash
Notes: Stunning shave today, not much to say about Tabac exept that it rocks
The razor was as good as it gets, smooth and ultra sharp, and the herbal chypre left a brilliant finish to this 2-pass BBS. I loved every part of today's shave. Now a pot of Yunnan Tips and some SRP browsing, this is turning into a brilliant sunday.

Same as last night but used srd sandalwood soap.

6th shave with my w&b. All very consistent, without any decline in performance. I'm going to oil it tonight and pick another blade for this week.

Tuesday

Nice shave this AM with the W&B. I love the smooooothness of this razor. As I shaved, I considered that I have an impending appointment at some time in the near future with my 14 year old son to teach him how to shave. He says he needs to, which he doesn’t, but I’m not going to tell him that. I’m a bit worried about the whole thing. Teaching my older (21 year old) son how to shave with a straight was fine, but Joel is a witty, sarcastic, opinionated arsehole, as many 14 year olds are; and he excels at it. It’s just possible that he has inherited the trait from me. Anyway, I decided the most important thing to pass on is lightness of touch. That and the angle. I could start off slow and teach him to use a DE, but he could do with some coolness points at school so a straight it is.
