    The weather is starting to warm up here. I was wearing a T-shirt by 8am. Today was the warmest day we've had for months.
    To mark the occasion I pulled out the Proraso, my favorite pick for warm days.
    Another great shave, from a 4 day beard to BBS in no time.

    Have no clue. Was right awake at 2.50 AM. Started counting sheeps but for the life of me couldn't get back to sleep. So decided to get up around 3.20 AM. Early morning heat treat . Vivi is keeping me company. I do like early mornings. That's when I get most things done, in peace.

    Must have been all the snoring that woke you up/kept you awake!

    Razor: Simmons Keen Kutter Blue Steel
    Brush: Jade handled boar
    Soap: RR Mudder Focker LE
    AS: Thayers Lavender followed by English Leather
    Result: Fantastic three pass shave. Just bought this razor yesterday at an antique store. It's the closest razor to nos that I have bought to date. Easily handled a couple days growth, including atg. No pic today, but here is a link to the thread showing it and other goodies I picked up yesterday.
