I find the most satisfying shaves come after a few days of growth. Skin just feels smoother, and the results are so much clearer!

Semogue 830 Brush

Not bad, the ASL burned some. Feather blades, gotta be careful with them. Love the La Toja!

A great shave this morning.

My leg is feeling a little tired from physio yesterday but there has been no knee pain as of yet today. It seems a deep tissue massage and some dry needling have helped a bit. I just need to keep doing the exercises I've been given and hopefully I can get back to some hiking soon.

Hot water prep
Van der Sanden razor - Custom silvertip badger brush - TOBS Eton College sc - cold water splash - Floid asb - TOBS Eton College EdT

Another fine shave from the Belgian hollow cleaver. The upper lip was a tad scratchy, so it may soon be time to visit the stones. 2 passes to smoothness enjoyed to the tunes of Antonio Carlos Jobim - Stone flower.

Some really nice photos being posted guys, bit hard to name everyone.
Pretty much everyone above

I do rather value myself somewhat, possibly unreasonably so. Frank Lloyd Wright said 'Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose the former and have seen no reason to change.' and I respect him for it...

Would it make you feel any better to know you're on the same page as Joni Mitchell? This from a pretty rare interview she recently gave to the CBC and which was aired yesterday:

Jian Ghomeshi: Do you think too many artists engage in false humility?
Joni Mitchell: "Yes. I'd rather have real arrogance than false humility."

Here's a link for any Joni fans out there: http://podcast.cbc.ca/mp3/podcasts/q...0611_48819.mp3
