OUCH! It looks like you learned the definition of my South Texanism of "chingaso"...I'm still trying to get rid of my scabby soul patch from last week. I don't know if they have Simpson's reruns in Italy, but Bart Simpson says one of all-time favorite quotes "Chicks dig scars...". This quote was stolen and used by Shane Falco in "The Replacements", another rerun for you to catch.

Seems like there's quite a few posts about ADP in the 'fragrance of the day' thread. I may have to pop by Saks someday to find out what it's all about. Of course going to Saks means my wallet already knows what it's about.

Gentlemen, here is today's shave bill:

Razor: Ralf Aust 6/8 round point
Strop: Mountain Mike 3" Latigo
Brush: Thater 22 mm silvertip
Soap: Tabac
Pre-shave: Castle Forbes
Scuttle: Moss
Face lather
Alum
Witch hazel
Balm: Some artisan stuff
Aftershave: Taylor of Old Bond Street No. 74 Victoria Lime

Najeeb Malluk Razor
Semogue 830 Brush
MWF Shave Soap
Proraso ASL



I struggled getting this razor in order. Something was always missing. I think I nailed the edge this time. Great Shave!

Ouch!!! You're supposed to shave vertically with the razor, not draw it horizontally!!!

Still, we've all done that at some point. I think my largest cut may have been as big as that...
