Heavenly. That's the only word that comes in mind when using SRD's Bulgarian Rose. The scent, lather and overall performance are top notch. I only needed a 2 pass shave to get BBS as I had just honed up the Blue Diamond. The Razorock, well, it just rocks. Love it. Looking back at my shave I can say it was Nirvana.

Lads, the first week of December is upon us. Enjoy!

The weather here has been HOT all week and today was no exception, and with temperatures like this Proraso is my go to soap.
I focused closely on my technique tonight and was rewarded with a 2 pass BBS from the Wade & Butcher.
A fantastic Sunday night shave.



I watched The Godfather last night. I've seen this 1972 classic 3 times in my life, each time being probably 10 years apart.
Every time I have watched it I have seen it through a new/older perspective, and appreciate different things about the movie.
I loved watching it again, great story, directing, locations, and a cast of legends.

have a great week gentlemen.

Let's change the weather, Grant. Here in Germany we have snow and ice...

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Simpson Chubby 2
Razor: Iwasaki kamisori
Soap: Cade
AS: Tiger face lotion + TOBS Victorian Lime
Edt: Penhaligon's Castile
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
This large (8/8) and heavy kamisori is my least aggressive one, the size and pure weight scares me every time I take it out, but it's really a nice kitten kamisori (even though I got a small scratch under my honker). PS to Grant - I change weather with you any day too, it's bloody freezing here with around - 8 degrees Celcius and snow shoveling on the menu today.
