The morning sun was streaming in the kitchen window, so I decided to take advantage of it.
I met all my old cronies during my morning constitutional. Everyone is out of winter hibernation and taking in the sun's warmth. It's still crisp out, but one can tell that winter is on the run. It made me feel like grapping for "The Veg..."

A glorious morning's shave!

Very nice- thanks Sachin.

Great weather today, the sun is shining from a blue sky and the snow is finally melting.

After three "shaveless" days it was an exceptional pleasure to shave today. I had the house all by myself and took the time for a long hot shower, and even better time with the shave. Honed this swede earlier this week and it did what it's made for, it chopped down three days of growth like a hot knife in butter, one of the smoothest, closest shaves ever :001_smile

Beautifully done, Rune.


How is the Sec?

I love the Sec, Joe. It is an unusual scent but a little more approachable than Ten. I should wear it more often :blush:

I Pearce 13/16 // GFT Rose // Rooney XL // Floid Vigoroso

This I Pearce is now one of my favorite razors I own. Picked it up from the Doyle auction and it was once owned by Judge Lummus. I only did a light restore on it to keep it as original as possible.

Lummus date's these razors from the mid to late 1830s for this style of wide heel tapering to a narrow toe (only 4/8 at the toe). Usually I have problems on the heels of smiling blades, but this one gave me problems on the toe (more than likely cause of the reverse taper). I got a very good shave, but the toe does need a little more work. Next time I shave with this I'll even that out.

A lovely shave!

Sunday Morning Shave
A long hot shower, while showering my Parker Brush was warming up in the mug. After the shower I applied Johnson Baby oil for pre-shave. I chose a puck of Vulfix shaving soap. I whipped a superior mound of lather. Today's razor Fatboy with a Gillette Super Thin blade. I lathered up dialed in at #6 for two passes, third pass was dialed down to #4.
Ending the shaving with Clubman Pinaud Vanilla liberally splashed followed by Poraso balm. I spritzed English Leather as the finishing touch.
A DFS that was BBS.
