Wonderful early morning shave today. I've been in training all day and wanted to start the day right. Everything clicked this morning. Have a great day folks!

 

Good picture of excellent shaving gear.

 

Another early morning shave. Got the Futur with the Super Homex on it's 3rd shave. And it provided a very nice and smooth shave. Perhaps the best of the 3 so far. Stone Cottage Cedre Noire is, well "Magnifico" lovely scent and post shave feel was Lady of the House approved. So was the Wholly Kaw Jamestown Gentleman A/S splash, great scent for the warmer days ahead. Enough said..... Great day and great shaves Gents.

Nivea Men Face Wash
Soap Commander Renewal Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #170 Synthetic (first shave)
H. Böker 5/8

The Soap Commander Renewal Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #170 Synthetic brush. I did two passes the H. Böker 5/8, and I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Probably about a driver and a 5i from the lake. Turns into the river you see in some photos. I do pack my shaving gear in a pack and go for a drive and end up in the woods some where looking for a water shot. You probably haven't noticed, but I like water in my shave picture.

 

Amazing picture Guy. I haven't seen Moby Dick for some time.

 

Thank you Douglas

*I'll let Professor @crackstar comment on my francais .

for those of you who didn't read my post in the May Focus thread, I decided to test the drop in temperature for the next few days by bringing out a combination I usually use in the late fall/winter. Mad Experimentalist at work here! I expect I won't get many more chances(if any) to do this as we get into June and beyond.

 

Awesome photo Doug!

 

Thanks Doug and you left that so wide open for wise comment.....................

 

Envious of your countryside. I miss the greenery, rolling hill sides living here in the High Desert. Maybe some day I can convince my daughter to move out of this area, Sigh...........

 

Bonne continuation mon ami - ne lache pas!
