Neat looking photo, Bob.

Shavemac D01 Silvertip

SV Manna Soap

Portland Razor Hydra

Bootlegger's Bay Rum​

After yesterday's two-razor, three-pass shave there wasn't much stubble to shave this morning so I though a single ATG pass would be the way to go, but it doesn't seem like it made much difference. I should have stuck with my routine two-pass XTG/ATG shave. Oh well, it should make for a more productive shave tomorrow morning.

Fine looking razor and brush portrait, Dave. That is a good looking razor.

That's a smart looking shave photo, Loei. Like the high angle perspective.

Thanks for your yesterday comments Ron, nice to see someone uses that Portuguese cream is a good shaving cream and that brush is very beautiful and seems to be very good too.

Love the vibrant colors in your pics. Neat color coordination with the frame.

Looks like it would be a grand shave. I imagine you enjoyed it

Thanks Ron. First time using Viking Soaps Citron and a pretty darn good shave soap. Smells like lemon drop cookies or a lemon bar with a nice cooling effect. This one is a keeper.
