    One down, one to go...I can do it! :D
    This is a shave that demands repeating...at least once. :D

    I'm here all week ladies and gentlemen...:happy036:
    There's an Oud thread out there and I thought about it and came up with the conclusion, I should use my recently acquired, but only used once before, a while back, because I had just recently titanced my way through a tub of Vintage Tallow Williams, tub of AoS Oud Cream.
    Take a look at that lather, will ya? Nice... right?
    :signs011:
    It was really nice. And pungent. :innocent:innocent:innocent
    Wow. What a powerful scent. Strong, woodsy, heady aroma, that is almost intoxicating.:shocked029:

    The Vie-Long Silvertip has been ridden hard and put away wet in its life. I treat it kindly, however.
    That doesn't mean that it doesn't perform. It does, and how!
    This is your leather chair, which is in fully broken-in, but still undamaged, condition. Get it? :signs002:
    I could see the reflection of my '08 OT in the super-shiny lather!
    :signs047:
    Tons of lather-with an abundance of Oud scent = :love055:

    Finished by what is arguably one of the greatest Bay Rum aftershaves , now discontinued, Burt's Bees.
    To be continued....
  7. I love blaming my excessive collecting on the folks here!
  8. Nice, all the way around, Joseph!

    Weekends are entirely too short. A very early morning 2 pass have the morning. After minimal touch ups I ended with my normal near perfect shave. I hope everyone has a great day.

  18. Well it finally happened. I grabbed my shaving towel and caught the razor and pulled it off the counter. I am happy to say I didn’t try and catch it. I jumped back and allowed it to go to the floor. Fortunately, it missed any appendages on the way down and safely landed on the small rug I was standing on. No harm done and I was able to pick it up and have a very nice shave
