Quite a collection of excellent photos, descriptive posts and comments, gentlemen. Thank you very much for each contribution.

I'm afraid there won't be any observations tonight. I've spent the whole day prepping for a medical procedure tomorrow afternoon so I think I best just go to bed and get some sleep.

Be seeing you, gents.

Good luck with your procedure today.

Ron, Sampsons is almost as good as Martin de Candre performancewise. It is more of a shaving cream that doesn't take many swipes to get a good lather.

Vacation Edition 2017
Location: Home




Prep: Shower/Warm face towel
Soap: RazoRock P.160
Razor: Maggards V3
Blade: Gillette Nacet
Brush: Semogue
Post: Alum/RazoRock P.160 Balm
Talc: Clubman
Aftershave: PAA Chella Cool

After being on the road with the Family for the last 7 or so days on Vacation I can say that it is nice to be home. Relaxing morning shave today, used my new lather bowl for the first time and decided to break out a traditional 3 piece razor since I used TTO's while on vacation. RazoRock never lets me down so choosing it was a no brainer, the Nacet blade delivered a smooth drama free DFS. I finished off with some P.160 balm and some Chella Cool by PAA, they really knocked it out of the park with that one.
