I'm having one heck of a time, my camera isn't being allowed to download on my imac and the photos I've taken with my iPhone are too large and won't allow me to post them. Oh to be old and slow. I'm not tech savvy either.

 

Thanks Gary!

 

very nice razor sir, pic looks ok..you are on the right track

That is a question for the Straight Razor Section. There are some experts on that, that can go on about every aspects about this subject, and many of the brands that are prone to this. Just go to the Straight Razor section and do a search on Cell Rot. It is quite interesting.

That describes me, too....in all 3 ways. I'll figure out this kind of stuff one way or another.

 

Thank you for the kind words but this photo is an old one from last year. I don't know what it is but from this site (select phot0) to my photos, they just aren't there. Photos from my iPhone won't allow me to post here, say's they're too large. Oh well..

 

I'm considered a "triple threat" .. Trip, stumble or fall.

 

Prep: Occams Crushed Lime Pre Shave Soap
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic
Blade: Shark Super Stainless
Brush: Razorock BC Plissoft
Soap: Ballenclaugh- Festive Parlor
Post: Stirling Arkadia Balm

Man everyone needs a little Ballenclaugh in their life IMO. Have had B&C in the queue but most of their scents (accept for Old Barber Menthe) are fairly strong and unique, something you have to be in the mood for rather than a daily driver. Today was that day!

Scent of Festive Parlor is Orange, Spice, Clove, Leather and is a Holiday type of scent but like most B&C scents this is not a "cookie cutter" scent and is pretty unique. The profile really opens up once lathered and smells a million times better once everything is all mixed up.

Lather from this stuff is supurb IMO and B&C became a instant favorite from 1st use (Woodsmen) as it is unique and something different. Lather can hold a rediculous amount of water, plus it seems to lather quiker with a wetter brush. Whipped up a thick luxurious lather with ease, super protective and provided a BBS shave with no drama. Must say the post residual slickness on this stuff is incredible, after rinsed away skin is still slick enough for touch ups without consequence. Very happy with the results from todays shave. Hope y'all had a similar experience!

 

you can reformat the photos on your phone to fit here.,just not sure how..
