Relax, my dear we all want and need! the variety. Otherwise it would be boring in the long run. Cheers Erwin btw. and stay away from the Mühle R41 - he makes no prisoners! In my opinion a faulty design.....
Thanks, my friend...He was my role model, and my best friend....One of the great things about this hobby is it seems to renew bonds with him every day... I believe if he was still around today, he would be here at the Den with us...He always loved his guality time with great soaps and his Injector... Thanks Bill for the good vibes as always....

Friday Lord L6 Voshkod (4) Omega Pro 48 Brian's Honey Almond SS AV Ice Blue Just a few more shaves left before I review the L6. As far as the other parts of my shave, they have been pretty damn stellar. I'm really digging the scent of Brian's soap and if I have one criticism is that it could use a little more slip, perhaps some bentonite clay to make it slippery by just a tad, other than that, it's a dream. Works great with all my boar/boar blends. And the AV Ice Blue, you either love it or hate it and for me it is :love055 4 out of 5 today Enjoy those shaves folks!
Glad the face lathering is working out for ya! Friday: EJ89L Shark SS (6) Thater Stout 2 Provence Sante Verlaine stick Nivea Sensitive balm AVC Ice Blue Burberry London edt It's been awhile since I last used this soap, man what a mistake that was! Thick, creamy, slick, and fragrant lather. I won't be ignoring it anymore.
