Thank you. The photos are mostly taken in the many parks and forest located around the city.

Cheers Gary, and it is but it's very easy to overload.

1st use of the Omega and it went well. Nice creamy pearly looking lather that worked just fine. Like all new products, need to work on the water/product ratio but I'm happy with the first use. All the other parts liked each other and my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks

Today's shave was perfect. I had a very smooth, 2 pass shave, needing no touch ups, that left me BDBS. The ATG pass was just as smooth as the WTG pass. Absolutely perfect shaver. If I had not mentioned this before, F.W.Engels Razors are some of my favorites. If you don't have one, with very little wear on the blade, get one. You will not be disappointed.

Razor- F.W.Engels "ARGO Steel". Solingen Germany.
Brush- JR#262. WD Badger.
Soap- ARKO stick.
Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Mmmmm Mmmmm Good.

Have a great day, all!​

 

I would have been happy with that A.S. from the store...shux.

 

The Arko stick came to me in a PIF, but my nose isn't used to the smell, yet, to give it a try.

 

Timeless Bronze SB plate, Aluminum cap, Atlas handle. This is my Timeless razor going forward. Smoother than the OC yesterday and marvelous efficiency with the BIC. I chucked the Bolzano mid shave, it was already getting tuggy.

The PAL Injecto-Matic - aka the Schick Buster - is among my top three SE razors for the closest shave you can get. This particular one barely lost out in an epic shave off with my Schick Hussy some years ago. But, today’s shave would have been at least a tie. Absolutely flawless. For anyone wondering, the Bunny razor may be the closest of all but I’ve never subjected it to a shave-off as it is not commercially available.
