    Very nice. For some reason, when I saw it earlier, I assumed the handle was resin.

    I would have used it today if I thought I could get a decent picture. Definitely Saturday which is a good thing. The refinery has a way of overpowering the scent of most aftershaves. I'll be able to enjoy it better on a day off.

    Thank you, Gary! Other than the 6 hours I did on the round trip, it was great birthday. My kids are young enough that they sti make a big deal when I come home.

    Love that photo effect, Blair. Ya, the grandmother vibe is not the plan I'd be going for either. Usually the grandmother vibe is a leather purse/certs Tabac sort of thing...

    Sorry for the delay in posting, but today is my son’s 45th birthday, and there were many last minute logistical issues to resolve. All done! Now since this was to be my first head shave in several days, I fell back on my adjustable Christopher Bradley Razor from Karve Shaving. I normally shave with the E-OC, but today decided to use the B-OC, mildest plate I own, in order to protect the tender gourd! There are still some healing areas. That dependable shaving tool coupled with my favorite soap, MWF, resulted in a CCS, which was more than acceptable given the circumstances. I changed the plate to my usual E-OC for the face shave. One careful pass to the dome and a three pass (WTG, XTG, ATG) face shave left with a very smooth BBS result for the face. I keep forgetting what a great shaver the Christopher Bradley is. I feel clean, smooooth and refreshed and ready for the festivities this evening. I’m gifting my son a Swiss Watch I own that he’s admired for years. I know he’ll be surprised, because the last time he asked about it I just told him it was staying in my will, and that he’d need to be patient.

    RAZOR: Christopher Bradley (B.OC, E-OC)
    BLADE: Wizamet
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with PAA’s Preshave Cube Soap
    BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with A&E Post Shave Serum on the dome and Florida Water on the face.

    Nice shave, BBQ, and watches! Can it get any better? What kind of watch did you get, Patrick?

    I like the wood handle but I do wish the handle was sealed.
