The Ad execs were nuts or had a strange sense of humor back in the day. Oh yeah, good shave.From their stillness came their non-action...Doing-nothing was accompanied by the feeling of satisfaction, anxieties and troubles find no place

Gebr. v.d. Sanden razor - TOBS Eton College sc - Silvertip badger brush - cold water splash - Calani asb - Acca Kappa Muschio Bianco AdC
My dad passed away last Friday evening in the presence of my mom, my sisters and me. It was tough to let him go, but at the same time good to prevent him from any further suffering. I'm going to miss him very much. He always was there for us and gave us good advice in life. Born in the very late 30's he never owned a straight nor had ever shaved with one. His first was a DE from the mid-50's. He finished with some Gillette thing with 3 blades.
I couldn't think of any better blade than the v.d. Sanden for my first shave after this. A great shave to honour one of the strongest men in my life. Both in willpower and in mindset. Dad, I'm genuinely going to miss you.

I lost my Dad a few years ago so I feel your pain. May he always live in your memories.

A fantastic close smooth Christmas eve shave for me, no shave on Christmas day as I'm the cook and the Mother inlaw is down for dinner, first run out for the Semogue must say I'm very impressed with the brush, and she's a looker as well.
