So true. So many so inspiring and "professional" looking pictures. I always think, if I gave the link to one of my non-SR-shaving friends, they would just be pulled into it by those pictures and the beauty that comes with them.

Hahaha!
Go on! If I can therefore see more of your treasures ...

Mint Julip Facial, Wm. Elliot and Co, VDH Boar, Tabac Shavestick, Aqua Velva Classic, Firehouse Wacky Tacky

My granddaughter was the shave supervisor. She remains steadfastly committed to the notion that Aqua Velva Classic is the only aftershave or cologne that should still be on the market. When I asked her what to do about my mustache, she said, "Shave it all off." When her and I came out of the shave cave, SWMBO says, "You smell really good, kinda cold and fresh" When I told her about my granddaughter's mustache recommendation, she agreed wholeheartedly. I think it's a conspiracy. I will not be swayed.
