    Great photo and shave, sir! Congrats on joining the "Stirling Club". The absolute best value in artisan soaps, hands down.
    That's a snazzy W&B, too!

    Thank you as well, Charlie! I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I ordered one. I tried two shaves with a shavette awhile back, and the results were not pretty. Based on that, my expectations were pretty low. However, I decided to take another run at it. Turns out, this focus has proven to be enjoyable. :)

    I have lower back issues muhself....pinched nerve at the lumbar, which has contributed to a cold right foot and itching along the knee.

    Azzaro Wanted: By Night

    Slept in a bit late this morning…got up at 7:45. I can’t remember the last time I slept that long. I think my wife and I both needed the extra rest, as we were fighting off some sort of head cold/sinus thingy. Much better today.

    So….let’s shave, shall we?
    The Weapon was a joy to use (as always), and provided tons of lather for a 9-pass shave. I might’ve gotten carried away loading. Oops. Nonetheless, the shave itself was nothing shy of fabulous. I debated on going for a “greed pass”, but after the second pass, while rinsing off, I noticed that my face was plenty smooth. Leave well enough alone. Zero drama. Finished off with some Stirling Baker Street, then a few hits of Azzaro cologne. What a way to get the day rolling! And, my face is still smooth many hours later.

    Enjoy what’s left of the weekend, fellas!
