    Thank you very much!

    Such a beautiful shot! And a great tribute to your father. I get it.

    Thank you sir. My SOTD photos have been looking the same to me lately, but I love the gear.

    Lather Catcher Sunday's Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    START Shave Cream
    Jayaruh #403 Synthetic
    Ever-Ready Lather Catcher
    Personna GEM SS PTFE
    CWR
    Aqua Velva Musk

    The START Shave Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #403 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready Lather Catcher with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Right in the middle of the corn fields!
    Very convenient in case one forgets to go food shopping! :D

    I moved here over twenty years ago and never regretted it.
    Should I miss sophisticated shops, fancy restaurants or just wanted to see what I breathe, Milan is less than an hour drive.

    And in this silence I can hear the chirping of the blade in... Progress! ;)

    Thank you Favourite Uncle!

    O&C scent is OK.
    It's the Valobra series that's scentless to me!

    Thank you, though, for suggestion.

    Valobra made Czech & Speake, as well as the original, tallow Art of Shaving soaps. My Valobra brands, Patchouly and Fougère, are scent powerhouses.

    Never smelled them.
    As I said, among the ones I tried, no one had any scent: the almpond brick and the menthol one (bought by mistake) and the stick, supposedly Cologne.

    Happy yours do have a scent!
