Interesting take, I've never gotten pancakes with maple syrup out of Lilac Vegetal. Did you maybe have a dad or grandpa that made you pancakes as a kid that threw on some Lilac Veg after the morning shave?

I realized a while ago that while I enjoy my digital camera (Panasonic DMC-FZ50: nice size, great lens (Leica-made), decent manual controls) I really miss my older Nikon SLRs. So I have dug them out, bought some Tri-X, and look forward to doing some wandering and enjoying some old-school film photography. Now, if I can just get access to a darkroom again, I'll be happy. This is one of my three Nikons: the venerable F3. Built like a tank and still working as well as the day I bought it 23 years ago.

It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

Good insight. My dad used to take me to breakfast on Saturday mornings when I was a kid at our local diner. I always ordered pancakes and eggs. Some of my favorite memories. And my dad was a wet shaver, using a boar brush and a DE. I have no idea about his aftershave, but he did use tres flores. Originally Posted by 1OldGI

No shave, just a long drive to stage myself for the NY/NJ meetup tomorrow!

Just a quick 2 pass head shave tonight.
I'd lost track of how many head shaves I've had with this blade, but it's time to retire this one.
Still, not a bad shave though.
Have a great weekend boys, and thanks for the posts and pics
