Thanks Ron. The Cryogen AS nearly brought me to tears.

Enticing shave pic, Josh. How did you like the pairing of the Inchcolm and the Fourth & Pine?

Thank you, Ron! I was thinking that the floral type Incholm would be fine with some of the floral neroli from the Fourth & Pine. It was bold but I love that scent and will make any excuse to use it!

That's good enough for me to put Fourth & Pine on my list, Josh.

Thanks Ron. The Cryogen AS nearly brought me to tears.

I think I've used Cryogen only once or twice but I do remember the chill.

Well, for my late Grandfather's 86th birthday I took my grandmother to the cemetery and she wanted a Sonic cheeseburger and onion rings like he would've wanted! So we grabbed said grub, took the weedeater and blower and flowers and went and had a hamburger with him! Cleaned up the family headstones and rearranged the flowers and edged up around the area. I was very lucky to have him in my life as long and as much as he was and am very lucky to have my grandmother still "across the creek" at a healthy 86 and moving along!

Now it's time to use his Gillette Knack and scalp my dome and fall asleep blissfully!

Odd light due to the smoke from the fires here in Sonoma County. Fortunately the wind has died down and fires are being contained.

Splendid photo, Chris. The lighting does impart a subtle moodiness in tone. Stay safe, my friend.

I guess I should have posted mine here instead of creating a new thread. Sorry.

Excellent photos, posts, and comments today gentlemen. I'm afraid I'll have to end my observations a bit early this evening. I've been fighting off something ever since I got my flu shot Friday so I think it best I get to bed a little early. I'll continue my ramblings a bit later. Be seeing you.

That's good enough for me to put Fourth & Pine on my list, Josh.

Ron, I would highly recommend the toner and the salve. I use the salve at night, after my shower; it hydrates and softens my face, preparing it for my morning shave...incredible stuff. The toner is also a superb performer and the scent from Fourth & Pine is probably my most favorite out of all of my scents; beautiful citrus and neroli mix.

Neat bird's-eye view of a choice shave, William.

Thanks Ron, those Wacker razors never disappoint.
