    Love the photo Jason. Reports like yours make me glad that I don’t have to deal with snow very often.

    I have yet to find out, Joseph. My initial impressions of Bonaparte were "I don't hate it, but it isn't something I would wear on a date night".

    Home for lunch and time to post my report on this morning's 25th straight razor shave.
    "The State of the Straight"

    Before the shaving details, I have to announce that the remaining Jabonman Vetiver de Haiti has been
    relegated to the shower. Used it this morning, actually.
    Still has a terrific vetiver fragrance, but the texture reminds me of an exfoliating soap.
    That, by the way, was not always the case. C'est la vie!
    Therefore, I grabbed my tin of Eufros and paid homage to Manuel, a master soap-maker.
    Completely different soap experience.
    The razor today is a Boker. Difficult to make out the scales in this picture, but they are quite attractive.
    Note to self: someday, I am going to have to upgrade my iPhone 5S...

    This is my edge and I don't think it's going to win any awards.
    Definitely sharp, but I know it could be improved.
    Note to self: someday grow a pair and break out the Naniwa 1K stone...
    Stropping was uneventful (sorry Paul, I had to make that report)
    Lather was efficiently created with the Paladin Chief.
    Good skin-stretching with the downward pass on the cheeks and neck.
    Managed to do some ATG on the cheeks as well.
    No blood-letting today, sorry Dracula. :happy102:
    Finished a DFS with the generous gift from Guy, Small Batch Shave Tonic.

    If the BEST thing I could say was "I don't hate it", that product would be long gone from my den.
