    I want everyone to know.

    The best of this thread has all happened with you as post one.

    May I borrow post one for March?

    These guys have no idea how much better at this you happen to be over me. You've done it so well that it's like autopilot.

    Wearing my mid-range Cocktail Time from Seiko. I have owned it for years, keeps great time and most importantly looks cool.

    I love my MKII, if you can find one buy it. They are expensive but a lot less than a Rolex and even rarer than a Rolex. This pic does not do it justice.

    A key to open blade shaving is skin stretching, after working with open blades I found my shaves improved with my DE and SE razors too.

    Don't worry the shavette will take care of an lapses, it has a way of instilling it into your muscle memory.

    I also used 'enhanced' Florida Water, the scent is light and does not last wrong. For the price you can't go wrong.

    On a cold day, hot lather is a true luxury.

    Tuesday Shave: I just honed this razor, again. I struggle getting an edge as sharp as I want with my heavy grind Sheffield razors. I decided to touch up this razor on Naniwa 12k followed by CrOx strop. Same results, sharp enough to shave with but not at the level I want. The shave was acceptable with no irritation but short of BBS. The razor is a Wade and Butcher.

    Nice sleeves. French fastened cuffs.

    Does wardrobe affect watch choice, in your world?

    I have two 9/8 razors, one with a huge smile. At 9/8 you can shave with them but it is one the boundary of the theatre of the absurd. My preference is from 6/8 to 8/8.

    Watch choice depends upon: mood, what I am doing, what I am wearing and sometimes what meetings I have. Depending upon what I want to project I may wear a subdued watch(MKII or today's Seiko), not showy but to watch person they will understand the coolness of the selection. If I am meeting pompous asses I will wear my rose gold Jaegger L'Couture moon phase perpetual calendar, it says I can be a jerk too if needed :eek: :happy102:
