  2. I'm not sure it's too fragile, at least not any more than any other pottery.

    First pic with my fancy new smart phone; apologies if the size is a problem on your device. Started off with Clean & Clear Morning Burst face wash, because I didn't pack my own, and had to let cold water suffice for closing the weepers on the ATG pass, as I forgot the alum. Otherwise, excellent BBS results in 3 passes, finished off with 3rd Man cologne.

  6. Great wife - Every now an then I mention letting my whiskers grow just to see the reaction on her face- Now she has back up in my 16 year old daughter. So alas I shave everyday (Except for scruffy Saturday) but that really is not a problem :D
  7. C you were absolutely correct. Is the Weber DLC more/less aggressive? And... where, if I may ask, did you get that beautiful UFO bronze handle?
  8. Today was a special kind of shave. It was my grandfather's funeral and he personified the classy man so I wanted to make sure I had a great shave. I recently found some of his Personna blades while packing up his house so I'll be sure to use some soon and keep the rest as a momento.

  12. Nice Exec..it's one of my favorite razors, and I almost feel guilty using it. Which setting works best for you?
  13. I had taken Pre De Provence (PDP) ut of my normal rotation a couple of weeks ago because it wasn't performing to the standards of the other french soaps in my rotation. I tried it again today and was pleasantly surprised at how well it did. I will stick with it for a few days and see if I want it back in the normal rotation.

    PDP
    Slim Adjustable
    Ladas blade

    I recommend everyone try the Ladas blade. It works great for me.
  14. Nice shave no doubt!

  15. I'd suggest a L'Occitane Plisson, makes easy work lathering Proraso and all other soaps/croaps.
  16. My condolences to you and your family.
  17. I will use that next time I use the soap. The plisson seems to lather everything with ease and has turned into my favorite brush at the moment.

    Merkur 34C
    Astra Superior Platinum
    Semogue 1305
