It had been almost a week since my last shave as I let my two cuts heal and then relaxed on the weekend. I decided that I wanted something special for this shave, so I broke out one of my newly acquired scents from Manuel (aka Jabonman) - Lima Canela. This soap has an absolutely divine smell. I never would have though of combining cinnamon and citrus, but Manuel did to great effect! I wanted an equally fabulous razor to pair with this soap in tackling a full growth of facial hair, and the Dovo 55 immediately leapt to mind. Just to make sure it was ready, I ran it across the balsa wood strop pasted with CrOx to freshen the edge.
The soap lathered up superbly, just like I've come to expect from Manuel's offerings. The scent filled the den, making me want to just stand there with a beard full of lather. But I need to get to work, so the task at hand begged me. The Dovo quickly went to work, and it deftly swept the copious whiskers away. After two passes, I am clean as a whistle and feel like a new man! I topped it all off with a splash of Lucido and a spritz of Annick Goutal's citrus masterpiece - L'eau d'Hadrien Absolu!

Glad to hear you have healed up, my friend. I have to agree with Carl, you have taken your pics to the next level. You are really giving that 'Rover' brush some love lately...lol

Oh, wow, and now with the great DOF and bokeh! The colour of those lights echo the colours in the scales really nicely.

Thank you, sir, both for the compliment and the thought. As for the Rover, the love it gets is very well deserved. The Manchurian badger hair is a great grade. It has such amazingly soft tips and the backbone necessary for soaps. And it's size is about perfect for my sweet spot! Originally Posted by JoeSomebody
