Thread: Sun August 5th - Sat August 11th

It's the best, spending time with your family!

Pre - hot towel
Soap - Tabac grated
Brush - Vulfix 404 mix
Razor - 6/8 Carl Schlieper High Class
AS - Fonex Malibu then E45 to moisturise

Result - a DFS apart from under my chin as usual which I struggle to get close with a straight but I like this blade!

My shave today was absolutely deeeee-lightful!!! I've really been diggin' my new Super Speed. I really like it, it is pretty mild. For me atleast it has just the right amount of aggressiveness.

David,
What a delightful shave this must have been. Love that Bismark...They're among some of the best of best that I have come across. They take on a fabulous edge and deliver some of the smoothest shave.

BTW: How do you like the scent of the C&S Oxford & Cambridge soap?

Also, congrats to the UK winning the 5th gold in Track Cycling. Jason Kenny's run was nothing short of amazing. What a performance that was

OH, and my commiserations for being only 13/16. That's very sad, but I'm sure you have a great personality...

Is 13/16 of an inch a small radius? I don't know, since I usually don't compare things like that ... I'm happy you're looking out for the Swedes and their well being
