    Razor: RR Hawk
    Blade: Kai Titan Mild (12)
    Pre shave: Homemade
    Lather: Proraso Green
    Brush: VDH Badger
    AS: Brut Splash On/ Afta

    Another great shave by a great razor/blade. With the proper preparation, a 2 pass, WTG/ATG, a lttle clean up and "voila", an almost perfect shave. My meds were working, so that helped too. Thanks to PickledNorthern for the razor(very kind, indeed). A Happy Camper here wishing for great shaves by all. God Bless.

    Beautiful as always! I haven't remembered you using a straight razor before.

    This was one of the few times I've known how many shaves a blade has been used. This, the fourth time with this razor/blade combo, shaved pretty much like it's first time, maybe a bit smoother. Two passes with a little touch up for a great BBS shave.

    Since deciding my razors were not my kids that I have to love equally, I'm happily settled into using the Shake Sharp for 75% of my shaves, two passes, sometimes just a single ATG pass for my head. Two today with the Permasharp. Just another great shave on a very windy morning in the Valley.[​IMG]

    Thank you for your kind words, and I have been using straights, very sporadically, for the past six years, so they rarely appear in my SOTD photos. :)

    My Dad was a happy camper after seeing us and because after the orderly showered him I gave him a great shave.

    Dad's SOTD:

    Hot towel
    Wilkinson Sword Brush
    Ming Shi/Astra day 3
    Solo Menthol SC
    Hega AS Splash

    I tell you that not even a master barber could have shaved my Pops closer than this. He really enjoyed it. The Solo Menthol cream is not so cooling - in fact you can hardly feel anything from it. The scent is nice, it lathers great, and it's got lots of skincare. Dad loves the feeling of the Hega aftershave because it has no sting to it. Next time I'll shave him with an Arko stick which is his favorite!

    What a guy he is - I love him so much!

    Thanks my friend. He's the best father anyone can have. What he's gone through, what he's done for my family and I as well as for the rest of our entire clan is unreal. He's the master of our clan and the anchor. We all look to him as the leader and the boss. My best friend and his wife came to visit him yesterday and they kissed and hugged him. Nobody who sees him believes he's 95 when they see his appearance. His GP at the facility calls him a "badass gentleman!"

    Enjoy these times even though they are trying for you. You are a very blessed man to have such a great relationship with your dad.

    I too am so fortunate to still have my Pops. All to many others do not and did not have a father to be everything to us.

    I make sure to tell him I love him every time we talk and see each other.

    We are lucky men.
