Shower or Shave (SoS) May 28 - June 3

Wouldn't have ever guessed that, great finishing :happy088

 

Of course, I had to camouflage the noise, the poor focus, the poor resolution and the poor colours with some PS trickery. That's not photography, that's imagery.

 

Whatever it may be - I'd say the end result is the important part

Klaus, glad you like the "Cool Dude" cream. I like it a lot myself.

Was there a doubt?

 

Nah... just thought I'd be Master of the Obvious for a minute. ::

 

my old "handle"

while in Nuclear Power School for the Navy
one of my instructors, lovingly, named me

"MOTO"

you figure it out.

 

I fibbed. I just got an email back from Shavemac. They said they'd make me a fan brush. I thought I was all done with brushes but this is very tempting. I'd really like to check out a Plisson but I don't think it's going to happen any time soon. It's just as well, I think I have a enough brushes to cover an entire badger already.

On another note, SOS wise, I used Mama Bear Woodland Pear Shave Soap today. The soap is up to it's normal standards but the scent is not wowing me. I have to give it a couple of more goes and re-evaluate. Oh, and I used a Merkur HD Slant with a Derby Extra which will make Rick very happy.

 

Hear me now.....Believe me later !
Altho I primarily use Derbys and Feathers
I am gonna break out some IP's this week and give em a go.
I really dont want to.
.......Still learning how to use my Futur as efficiently as possible.
Tips, Gents ?
