***EDIT - 1 pass + cleanup. Perfect shave. Cleaned up 2 days growth like it was cleaning a window with a squeegee. And I felt like a clean, spring/summer scent this time around. Creed Royal Water is pretty awesome. Mama Bear Soaps' 'Bounty' scent knockoff of Royal Water is highly impressive and the whole bath set is complete luxury. This whole motif today calls for a Mediterranean lunch of hummus, whole grain pita bread, olives and a mojito. Today is pretty awesome.

 

Thanks Gary!

Saturday's Shave ​

 

awesome shave and pic Andrew..

 

very cool..

 

Excellent, John. The Burley is probably my favorite of the vintage Old Spice scents.

 

That brush looks high end. Really nice creation you have there.

 

Thanks, Gary. I thought I'd take advantage of the once or twice per year snow here.

 

I find the 1912 handles better than a Shovel head , but ever one's technique are a little different . The 1914 Everready will give any razor a run for the money(shave).

 

I like your gear, you do not see many gold (aristocrat?)Gillette flare tips, at least I have not.
