Yeah, you are right...

No shaving gear pic. However, the posted photo is a restored building in downtown Richmond, near VCU. I took it some time ago. I am down in North CakaLacky for a bit seeing family. I brought the Invicta to shave with, some MWF soap and the Kyoku ASB. The Invicta was not doing so well. I am glad I brought my Norton 4/8 stone with me. I think I might have rolled the edge by slapping it on the bottom of the strop. Anyway, up to snuff, the razor slid through the whiskers. Good Shave. I am still faceturbating at the time of writing this.

Also, I was at Target with my sis and purchased some Dickinson's Witch Hazel, sort of a post post shave. Hmm, seems to work just as well as Thayer's. It might not have some of the extras but I guess Witch Hazel is Witch Hazel. Though I have never tried the generic drug store brand stuff. I was gonna buy a small bottle of Pinaud but did not feel like coughing up the seven plus dollars for it when I still have a big bottle at home that I purchased for about nine bucks.
