That's Paris, Denmark, right? Not Paris, France or Paris, Texas.

Yes it is Paris, Denmark. 9 houses, so it's not classified as a village (anymore) hence the blue sign, that indicates it is a named place but without city limits.
In fact I can go from Paris to Rome in about 10 minutes, another 45 minutes and I can reach Hamburg and another hour or so and I'm in America, all done without leaving the country - it's a small world

SOTD Sunday April 11, 2010

1890's Theme Shave this morning.

Razor: Slack & Grinold - Bath Works Sheffield Circa 1892
Soap/Mug: Mitchell's Wool Fat - 1893 Formula
Brush: Col Conk Barbershop Badger
ASB: Dickinson's Witch Hazel - circa Cambrian era
Aftershave: Lustray (Pinaud/Clubman) Coachman - circa 1890's

Awesome shave this morning! First shave with the S & G was outstanding! Thanks Chris! (Alabamalawyer) The professionally honed edge on this beautiful razor was so smooth I didn't know I was shaving. Quite a difference from MY HONING that got a "shavable" edge but left a lot to be desired. It's good to discover that it wasn't so much my shaving techniques that sucked but my honing skills that are deficient. Looks like I will be sending my "Antique Store finds" out to get a professional edge put on them for sure!

(I clicked up one for the few days growth and the fact that when I did my lip... it didn't "feel" like I was shaving)

This sounds like a pressure issue. I wonder if it was the in-shave feedback that made you unconsciously add a little too much pressure. I always have to make a conscious effort to take light strokes. I have a very unforgiving Merkur Futur with a Feather blade set at level 4. It tells me *instantly* when I need to ease up.
