Excellent photo's so far this morning!!!

Razor:

Interesting looking brush, Mark. I like it.

 

[Leon]

I have a bunch of new stuff I decided to try in this Sundays shave.
Pre-shave:
Hot shower. Musgo Real Glycerin Lime Oil Soap. This soap left my face relaxed, moisturized and ready for the shave.
The Shave:
Grabbed my Semogue 2000 boar brush that I've been using exclusively for the last weeks and used a small amount of the Top Secret shaving cream. This scent is fantastic, but I really can't describe it. It smeels of a blend of lovely floral/woodsy scents.
I picked up my freshly honed Johann Briedohr «Breidora» straight razor to try it out. It has some spots on the blade as you can see, but the edge got wicked sharp and buttery smooth. Now I see why the «Les 3 Croix» razors from J. Breidohr are sold at such high prices.
One pass WTG, the second one XTG was enough for BBS.
Post-shave:
Musgo Real After Shave Balsam. It smells great and soothes the skin leaving it in great shave.

What a way to start a Sunday!

Going great Chris! Was expecting to be a bloody mess when I got back into it but it's been a full week of great straight shaves! So great in fact that my DEs are starting to get nervous..

Good Morning Captain! Looking good. How's that Salter French Vivitar SC? Does it have a tobacco smell? I heard that it did. How is it relative to Tabac? Sorry for the big quiz on such a nice Sunday morning.
