But as a point of interest last evening I don't think I have had a lady faceturbate me so much... wait that seems wrong.... it was more like a face job, yeah that sounds right. Spoils of a straight shave and being a gentleman to her, I guess.

Rrrrr, Me hoped you got yer mast in her port hole. Rrrrrr.

Semogue Pincel de Barba
TI Rasoir Evidé Sonnant Extra
Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap
Captain's Choice Bay Rum Aftershave Lotion



Factory edge on the TI delivered a good shave but it needs a small tweaking. Espero que tudo mundo seja felizes n'esta fim da semana.

From what I can make out from my previous SOTD pictures I've taken, Ive been using it for about 90% of my shaves from the 3rd of January. It had a few shaves on it before I started using it consistantly.

No Shave Today.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Shavemac D01 2band
Razors: Tusoke + GEM (for head)
Soap: Cade
AS: Old Spice, Fresh Lime
Edt: Pen, Castile
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very clean
This is my meanest razor (the Kamisori), point is like a chisel point (but I'll be damned if I mute it) and it's scary sharp, I don't think I've shaved once with it without getting nicked. This time I was in hurry as well :-/, needless to say I was nicked a couple of times, nothing serious though, but I knew I was in hurry but didn't change razor - why??
