Moved the blade over from the earlier E Type injector, and enjoyed a nice chilly shave with the Iced Watermelon Sorbet soap, on such a hot and humid day.

 

Thanks Danny, I'm trying like hell but we have some talent here at The Den, which by the way, your pic looks really well done. I think I'm going to try to use a ton of light and make as steady of a pic as possible.

 

Saturday:

First time back to straight shave in a while. Westenholm Pipe Razor, MB Sandalwood, AOS Pure Badger (my only brush :ashamed001), and Nivea Aftershave Balm. first time with this balm, wanted something a little less scented and after one use I kinda like it.

Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash :love008 :love008 :anifrozen :anifrozen
Big kisses from my wife and my daughter! :happy102 :happy102 (and my dog wanted to lick my face!)*

What a fun shave this was--the scent of the Tet-a-tet cream and aftershave balsam is nice and classy, and the menthol from them cools and feels so good. It's going to be a hot and humid day here in Montreal, so a couple of splashes of Alcolado Glacial gave me the extra frigid kick that I love so much!

*My dog is a 125 pound German Shepherd--could you imagine a beast that size jumping up on somebody to show him some love?
