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. Originally Posted by JoeSomebody

Monday madness!!!
Today started off with a great shave from my Gem SE, a gift from a good friend!!
I've still got several soaps I've never tried yet, obtained through birthday gifts and what not, so today's shave was an adventure in the unknown.
So, here it is:
Prep: Hot Shower, conditioner rub
Soap: RazoRock Fresco
Brush: 24mm Silvertip, custom handle made by WillN
Razor: Gem SE Silver
Post: Alum Block + Humphrey's Witch Hazel splash
AS: Aqua Velva Ice
EdC: Stetson
I look, feel and smell GREAT!!!!
Have a great week boys!! I hope my schedule settles down so I can do some pics again, as it is, there just isn't the time anymore...
But, I'll keep trying!!
Best to you all!!
M
