Razor: Hans Otto Deutsch
Brush: C2
Cream: Castle Forbes Lime
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel
AS: Booster Lime
EDC: Hollister Socal
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!
Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Omega boar
Soap: Tabac Original
Scuttle: Robert Becker large
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.
