This morning's shave went without a hitch, very relaxing and got me ready for the day. This was the first time using the Amici line from IB. The lather exploded from the bowl with just a few drops of water, the scent was very pleasing. Lots of citrus notes, like grapefruit and orange with a finish of spice and musk. I picked this up last week at the bargain price of $2.99. I am still on my Nacet kick as I can now say it is my favorite blade, never a tug or pull and every shave feels like butter. The Super Speed performed flawlessly and delivered a solid 2 pass shave. I am really beginning to enjoy the vintage razor experience. I finished up with the usual Alum and Nivea post shave balm, this was topped off with Amici After Shave, a splash of Jeris (non-oil) tonic on the hair and a little clubman talc and my day began.

Very solemn, very striking photo with the looming Rx as the focal point, Dave. About the Shavemac on its side and the upside down soap and cologne.... I think you're trying to tell us something about this venture.....
