Results: Eagerly awaiting the arrival of my two Jabonman soaps sometime in the next couple of days (hopefully). Meanwhile, I went Proraso today. I do love the Eucalyptus scent...very refreshing on a hot day. I am beginning to get a very good result out of MNS. The Shavemac made mounds of this wholeness to goodness magic mix that was in the bowl. The Henckels was refreshed on the hones last night (a very relaxing and zen exercise for me). Another BBS day and ready for a meeting in the evening with Adam Draper, a famous Silicon Valley Venture Capitalist.

Have an INCREDIBLE start of the week gentlemen .


Cheers,
Robert

So today again a cold tinkeling soap.
Prep.hotshower
Strop.rch
Brush.silvertip
Raxor.Gustav Hammerfah
Soap.MB.Lime Cilantro Ice.
As. Le Male.
Result. Smooth and clean.

This was my best shave yet! This was my first time to use an extra hollow razor. Oh how it speaks when it is removing the stubble. My Wife said she could hear it , and I had the baathroom door closed. It was velvety smooth, I love Henckels razors.

4 days worth of stubble. 4 passes 2 WTG 2 ATG there was no irritation, no sting from the AS, no pull or tugging.

A DFS to start a new week! I could not be happier!

Thanks Joe. It was truly green in every regard. I almost forgot how many razors I had. This and her twin (Henckels #17 in G10 hunter orange) are amongst my wife's favorites.
