Great photos and posts on Tuesday,gents!Enjoy your day!:thumbup:
 
Thank you for your excellent photos, descriptions and commentary, gentlemen. All were most heartily appreciated.


@ram57 - Sumptuous shave photo. The Streamline is a beauty.
@ram57 - Another excursion into pirate land. How's La Concorde? That's one I don't have.
. Thanks Ron.

La Concorde is a Pinaud Clubman clone but I like this one better as it is smoother less intense aroma if that makes sense

SOTD - my vacation and travel shaves continue.
1. hot shower.
2. PAA ice pre shave travel stick. Fine synth brush, I wish i used my boar semogue. i cannot for the life of me face lather with a synth. with a boar and mama bear its easy. i rarely use a synth and when i do i will stick to bowl lathering.
3. Mama Bear Ye Olde Barber shop travel stick.
4. family dollar de blades made in vietnam, with a maggard slant on a maggard travel handle. i bought these blades out of curiosity as i went there for there knock off old spice. wow, with the lousy lathering and this new blade i drew plenty of blood. there was gore!!
5. family dollar spice after shave, at least the ending was nice..... oh yeah the clubman septic pencil took care of the 3 gashes.
