    Thank you and you are very kind! No, I have never considered putting together a calendar as I already have all of the photos. :D
    Also, I wouldn't know where to begin and what would I do with it? :D

    Alt Innsbruck AS :love055: :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:

    A shaving set-up which is fit for a king which is plenty cold as well. I love, love, LOVE the MITA soap - a great scent with rich, slick lather and an icy sensation. Its skincare is brilliant, as with all Rod's soaps. Leave it to the Gold Bond to keep the chill and soothing going, and the Alt Innsbruck is in a class by itself. A new Derby blade for me guarantees a terrific and effortless, as well as comfortable shave. ;) :D

    Wednesday's
    ZCOLDWATER1.jpg

    Dove Men Face Wash
    RazoRock P.160
    Semogue 1800
    Gillette Old Type
    Voskhod
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Lemon WH
    Pinaud Clubman

    This was my first shave with RazoRock P.160 Shaving Cream. It smells a lot like Cella, but it is much easier to work. I swirled for 10 seconds as apposed to my usual 30 seconds. It face-lathered very easily with my Semogue 1800 Boar brush. Two passes with my Gillette Old Type razor and a Voskhod blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Two Smooth Passes
    I was in a bit of a hurry today so I only made two passes: WTG and ATG with my Fatboy on nine for both. The results are excellent- drama free and nearly BBS. The Colonel quickly whipped Diamond into thick lather to set the stage, and Cologne Russe finished it up right.
    Prep: Mickey Lee Lime
    Soap: B&M Diamond
    Brush: The Colonel
    Razor: '59 Fatboy
    Blade: Voskhod (2)
    AS: B&M Cologne Russe
