    Thanks Guy. Yep, I figured I'd use it as a base plate for my Silvertip's Handle. Makes a nice memento of my year. ;)

    Shave of the day

    Pre- Hot shower + Homemade preshave oil

    Soap/cream- Nivea original shave cream

    Brush- Plisson synthetic

    Razor- Gem micromatic open comb

    Blade- Gem stainless steel(5)

    Post- Cold water rinse, Old Spice whitewater and Nivea aftershave balm

    2 pass shave WTG, and some minor cleanup.3 days of growth.

    This razor gives me awesome shaves! BUT today my stubble felt a bit tough, I didnt do the same prep as usual, I was tired and was gonna work night so I took a quick shower. It feels like that should be enough though.

    Second time using Nivea shave cream, i might have needed a tad more water to make it slicker.

    Ended up with a close comfortable shave. Not even burning in mustache area!

    Troy M Prep: Mephitis mephitis musk

    9/4/14 - Late day shave

    Prep: warm wash with Stirling Naked & Smooth
    Lather: hobbyist IanS Lavender soap
    Brush: Vie-Long 13061M
    Razor: Gillette New LC
    Blade: Sharp Durablade Stainless (4 and 1)
    Post: cool rinse and Captain's Choice Bay Rum

    I had a very early warming, taking my son in for surgery on his foot at 5:30 a.m.. Needless to say, I did not shave before we went in. We we back home by 12:30 and then a bit of running around later left me feeling like I needed a face and skull shave desperately.

    I shaved my face first and had my blade start giving out during the 2nd pass. So I changed blades and got after my scalp. 2 passes on the face and 2 passes on the skull and I am feeling smooth.

    Razor: Schick J injector
    Blade: Personna injector
    Brush: Muhle Black Fiber
    Lather: Dr. Dittmar
    Post: Omega balm

    Excellent shave. The Dr. Dittmar has the upper hand on Provence Sante in slickness and beard softening but is too harsh for daily use.

    Lol. I'm 50 yrs old and live in Phoenix. That's pretty much my 'normal' scent. ;)


    Actually, Ben Frank smells more like sarsaparilla or root beer than anything else

    Here's hoping that his leg heals correctly and quickly.
    Also if he get's out of line take him out in the back yard and make him do 100 Squat Thrust's (a favorite DI punishment) just kiddin' I couldn't help myself.
