Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Strop: MickR's Roo Hide
Brush: Comoy Badger
Soap: Proraso
Razor: Royal Invicta 6/8
Astringent: Thayer's Original Witch Hazel
Balm: Nivea Replenishing
A/S: Proraso
Today I did the 7 hour drive home after a great week in Sydney of visiting family and friends.
I hadn't shaved my face since last Sunday, so I wanted to pick a razor that would be up for the challenge.
I gave the Invicta 6 licks on the ChromeOx balsa strop before the Roo hide and she did not dissapoint.
7 days growth wiped away with ease. BBS in 3 passes, and feeling fantastic
I didnt get a chance to take a photo for tonights shave, so I've gone with a recycled one I took from the roof of my car on my last trip to Sydney.
Australia is really a beautiful country for a road trip. I really enjoy this drive.
Have a great week boys and thanks for the posts and pics

Some of these later Sheffields don't always look particulary sexy but they sure seem to take a sharp edge, fantastic BBS!

Happy anniversary, Robert. I hope you get feeling better. For our 5th, this year, Hiroko wasn't feeling well, so I know what you're dealing with. I know you and Liza can still celebrate your love, which is the most important part of the anniversary!!

You're most welcome! Allways when I use this one I think of you and that you really should have it, since it got your name on it .... but then I allways are surprised on how a good shaver it is and whipe the previous thoughts out of my mind Originally Posted by BladeRunner001
