    Hi guys, I'm sorry this is the first time doing this I hope you guys don't mind my ugly duckling photo being posted among this hall of treasures.
    Prep: Hot shower and sense daily face cleanser + conditioner on beard
    Brush: Silvertip (from whipped dog)
    Cream: Proraso Sensitive
    Razor: Erwil Solingen 15/16 ( the only razor in my collection that I honed myself from start to finish )
    Aftershave: Nivea For Men Replenishing Post Shave Balm (Mom bought it for me when she saw me trying to shave with SR lol)
    Result: Mostly BBS with a few rough patches that I'm still working out as a beginner one on the right side under my chin and near my adam's apple

    You have some very nice razors in your rotation Bob. but I'm thinking that big 8/8 French point Puma is probably my favourite.

    Thanks Jamie. The big spatula does a great job of it alright but I find it a tad on the large side personally. I am getting used to it more and more with each use though.

    Nice leisurely Saturday shave with one of my favorite razors. It's Sigmund Freud this weekend, a lot more fun than Marx for sure.

    Welcome! I wouldn't sweat the pic quality, mine are routinely some of the worst on here. I think the key is that its a nice thing to share your routine among friends and admire others' pics (there are some beauties on here).
