    Talking My birthday shave!

    Howdy all!

    Today (september 18th) is my 26th birthday.

    I'm celebrating over at my house with a BBQ and some drinks.

    But of course the birthday boy has to look good on his big day so I had an extra special shave.

    Started off with a hot towel on my face as I relaxed to some music.
    Then put some col conk bay rum lather on my face while I stropped my le grelot in rams horn. 50 times on poly web and 100 on leather.

    Washed the col conk off and used tobs sensitive shave cream with my tobs super badger brush. Lathered up and had a three pass shave.

    One with the grain one against and another opposite against the grain.

    Wonderful shave this morning and cant wait to start the partying.

    Happy birthday Basil. Hope that your shave was a truly close, comfortable and relaxing one.

    Happy birthday, Basil. Hopefully your barbeque weather in Toronto is better than it is here in Edmonton at the moment, as I was planning on firing up the grill tonight myself.

    Congrats and happy shaving,

    Ryan
