    cream= Proraso Blue
    soap= Mikes Barber Shop
    razor= Greaves 7/8
    result= a wonderful smooth feeling 1 pass WTG , the edge turned out super sharp and super smooth , even took off a piece of a scar that i didnt notice till a slight hint of blood mixed in the lather ...lol

    Great, slow shave!

    first time a little while ago with a Puma:

    can see how the cat is hidden and camouflaged ..... quietly approaches the prey, and without sounds clinging it.. A NET CUT, when it seems to be satisfied, and satisfying its BBS leaves the field clear of any clue ....

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