    Near perfect combination of the sharp Feather and the sweet Rocket!
    The excellent protection of the Tubular Bells, rich in tallow, has created an excellent shave with a great post.

    It is not close, actually!
    It is perfect, with correct Italian punctuation: always been wondering about the English proper one...

    But... until you cannot translate properly 'The pen is on the table and the dog is under the table'... I fear you'll not pass the test! :rofl:

    The above sentence is one of the silly ones they teach in school, in English class! Of course it is meant to let perceive the difference between under and below, which does not exist in Italian.
    However... I did not know how to ask for a rest room (I did not want to 'rest'! I needed to... well, you know that!) but I could definitely locate pens and dogs!

    And... who cares if it is useless? :D

    Thank you, but I wish I could shot some decent one, once in a while! :(

    TOST Thursday's Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Morning TOST Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #371 Badger/Boar
    Valet VB2
    Valet AutoStrop (19)
    CWR
    Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB

    Happy Birthday to the USA.

    This shave is the 19th shave with this Valet AutoStrop Blade.

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Morning TOST Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #371 Badger/Boar brush. I did two passes with the Valet VB2 razor with a Valet AutoStrop SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    CA7594FA-B4C2-4739-8643-C551C31365FA.jpeg Thursday morning:

    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Astra Green day 5
    Gilly’s Lush Life SS
    Prep ASB
    Alt Innsbruck AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    One of the best shaves I’ve had so far this week - it took just two passes to get me BBS. The Lush Life soap’s scent is so nice, it gives tons of rich, creamy lather thanks to my Plissoft treasure and a nice, mild menthol sensation. The Prep is one of the best balms I ever had and the Alt Innsbruck went on icy cold with its lovely, classy scent, yet it doesn’t disrupt any fragrance.

    Happy 4th of July to all my American friends!

    How is the Bonaparte? Delusions of grandeur apart, of course...

    What difference do you find comparing Stirling to Barrister & Mann?

    Today is Independence day, so what better way to celebrate than to show off American made products. IMG_20190704_085154_262.jpg

    After - Pacific Shaving Co. "Caffeinated" Shave Balm
    Lather Bowl - Pacific Shaving Co. Travel Bowl
    Shave Brush - Vigshaving Nylon Synthetic

    Although I'm not traveling, I needed a quick, easy shaving set today to pair with this new fragrance. Pacific Shaving Co.'s products work real well for a dumb-reach shave. Happy 4th everyone!
