Beautiful shave. The ER150 has plenty of backbone to whip up a mountain of lather. These Rapira Stainless aren't that bad! My first couple blades I wasn't sure about them, I'll use them.
Go out and get it

 

New Colonel in town
Today was my first shave with a Simpson Colonel brush and I'm already impressed. I'll leave detailed remarks for later, but I like it. Rhapsody provided near optimal lather as usual, and my New LC removed my stubble smoothly and comfortably. Cologne Russe finished up right.

Sundays shave
No photo today I have been too busy spoiling my lovely wife this mothers day, and having a wonderful day with the family. If your wandering why I'm not spoiling my mum, it's because Mothers Day in England has already been and gone. So today I can just concentrate on the mother of my children.

Nice shave today with the wonderful slick, lovely smelling I Coloniali.

Razor - Milord
Blade - Vokshod
Brush - Pilsson synthetic
Lather - I Coloniali
Aftershave - Nivea cooling balm

I hope you all are having a great weekend.
