Wow, how elegant is that!

 

Gorgeous picture again! I hope it's ok but I've saved a few of your pictures to use as screen savers. Wonderful work!

 

Razor: Gillette 1930's Goodwill
Blade: Astra Platinum (5)
Brush: WDC-8 TGN Finest
Soap: Proraso Cream
A/S: Proraso
Bowl: Michael Stanley P.E.I.

I received this bowl, razor and A/S from @Spud just the other day. I want to thank him for this amazing PIF. The bowl worked excellent and the Goodwill gave me a BBS right out of the box. I have often thought of ordering Proraso A/S, but never got around to it. Thank you very much @Spud.

 

the reviews of Sharp Dressed Man and Executive Man make it a close call between the two, but SDM edges it out for me.

 

I'm impressed with Gatlinburg also.

 

Were is the April focus thread?

 

SDM is highly spoken of here, I would say it's a safe bet!

 

Beautiful picture...

 

Here is my Saturday planned shave

Prep-Dial 4 Men(in shower)
Cream/Foam/Gel-Rise Super Foam(Regular)
Razor-Sensor 2 Pivot + DisposeABLE baby
A.S.-Chiseled Face(Sherlock).

 

Thanks, Bill!

 

and I know you don't mean Roger Doucet, who would sing the American and Canadian national anthems at Candiens games.

 

a follow-up..Roger had a mean set of pipes.

 

Here are the ingredients. My nose cannot discern a difference. Surely a more refined nose could.
The Dusy is a very acceptable substitute.

 

5 blades, 5 times the fun. So I whipped up the Seifenglatt in my VDH mug and off we go. A push of the power button on this light vintage Gillette, there is a new swivel head version that I'm dying to try, and the razor starts it wonderful song. Bzzzzzzzzz. WTG XTG ATG and all over the grain, no problem. Pat dry, add a little electric pre shave, and hit all the spots missed by the 5 blades with my classic Braun. Just wow! What a shave. Half a tub of hydrocortisone and I'm good to go. Have a good one.[/quote]
It's about time you started using quality gear...

 

I was wondering that myself...I'm ready with my ideas.

 

That bowl is beautiful and Proraso products are tried and true. @Spud aka Jeremy is a great guy!

 

Whats your thoughts regarding the Rocnel razor?

 

Thanks for the information Joseph.

 

Thanks,you are also right about Jeremy.
