Hot shower and towel Proraso Pre SR 208 Taylor's Sandalwood Histle Cut NY 5/8 Round Tip Nivea for Men ASB Pinaud Clubman This straight is a ebay special I got for $5. I have not had the chance to hone it so last night I spend about one hour on the stones. I have to say that it was a very smooth shave after it took the edge. Just 2 passes and some touch up for a smooth BBS. Not bad for $5. I have a DD and a Clauss on the way, can't wait to try the DD. Raf

I will temporarily say the SMFIII is more suited for creams. It gobbles so much water I have to revise my water ratios. Also, I’m more and more convinced I prefer the pro-blades rather than the super pro. SMFIII Feather / Super Pro blade Plisson Matin Ambré soap Penhaligon’s Endymion
Simple, it only took a minute to do that as the blue of the letters were the only colours that stood out. Here’s what I did step by step: Optional: – Adjustments => Selective color => cyan – Cyan & black + 100% (it allows to make the blue colours stand out even more) Now the real thing: – In the toolbox, select the magic wand – Use it on a letter, then right click and choose “similar” – Right click and “select inverse”. Now whatever you do to the image will alter everything but the letters – “Desaturate” the image or use the “channel mixer” (I used the latter) – Voilà It really takes no more than one or two minutes once you’re used to doing it.
