Let your attention wander and 'ouch', just a little off the corner of my mouth please...Haven't had a nick in at least a couple years, not bad, just didn't stretch the skin and paid for it. Even with that, a little styptic pencil and Voila! 3 passes and off to work with the great scent of the Vetiver finished with the Clubman and its a great day to be a man!
Have a Great Thursday Gents!
BTW Carl your post had me laughing esp hard this morning! (Yes, I sound out the entire word or words in my head every time anything is abbreviated...only insane ppl don't, could that be you Carl???) :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

Great shave!
Pre - Alum block
Brush - SOC 2 band badger
Soap - Cella+Palmolive cream with 6 drops glycerine and 1 drop lanolin
Scuttle - Robert Becker
Razor - NOS Herders 77 Stainless 13/16 (Thank you Mainaman)
Post - Alum block followed by Thayer switch hazel
This is the first shave with this razor and it was one of the best, if not the best I have had so far. I did not strop the razor beforehand because I did not want to effect the edge that Stefan put on it with my stropping. The edge that Stefan put on it was very smooth and sharp with no hint of harshness that some say stainless razors have. I am extremely pleased with the edge and razor overall. Hope your shave this morning is as good or better.

No picture today as I was in a bit of a hurry this morning. Too much of a hurry really, as for the third time in the last two weeks I managed to cut one of my fingers on this blade. Twice when honing it and this morning I somehow managed to do a bit of damage to my thumb as I was trying to close the razor. I felt quite stupid after it happened.

After last night's joy of redoing most of my online accounts, a good pleasant shave was in order.
http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/...20finished.jpg
Today: Very quiet, snowed last night and about 6 inches,150mm is on the ground. wind is picking up and driving will be no fun. The Shave: One of the most comfortable I have received from a DE! DFS in two passes and a touch. Very close with no abrasion. No sting with the alum block or the splash.
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!

Bright and Shining Thursday
Should be celebrated with a super shiny shave. Attachment 115518
I have always said some of my best shaves come from some of the most well worn blades. This is one.
Diamondine Razor (love the Sea Serpent logo)
hand made glycerine soap applied straight from the bar and rubbed briskly into a lather with just my fingers.
Single Pass Xgrain for a nice smooth no irritation shave. (no 2 pass, as I roughed my skin up the day before with a lousy shave)
Long Live the Shine!
Could quite well be me, I'm clearly not ALL there, there's at least a TOUCH of ordinary madness...Quote:

Greaves & Sons Razor (restored by Dimitry) - TOBS Sandalwood SC - Cyril Salter Travel badger brush - Cold water splash - Pinaud Clubman Bay Rum AS
This is one of my favourite razors. It genuinely cuts through three days of growth as if it doesn't exist. I was so smooth in two passes in fact that I didn't feel the need for any balm. Splashed the Bay Rum straight on and it's a scent that goes well with Christmas time. All ready for the weekend.
