Looks and sounds like a magnificent shave, Balaji And a belated welcome back. Now I'm off for the week.

Thank you my friend! Will you be using your DRH Windsor SC knowing that you'll be off for the week?

No, I left it at home. Just away with 3 sticks, Balaji.

Today, a luxurious birthday shave!

Floris JF shaving soap + Simpson Duke3 Best + Merkur Futur at 3 with Gillette Bleue #1 + Dino Gaetan lotion with Proraso balm + Floris JF EdT


Today I have used some of the most expensive products I own and use only for these special occasions. Floris JF range smell wonderfully and works well! With this Futur and a new sharp blade I got a superb shave!


Perfect for tonight romantic dinner, hehehe


Cheers!

Happy birthday and nice picture!

Happy Birthday! The JF has knocked the No.89 off top spot for my Floris liking. Just need the EdT now. The scent is outstanding as you know. Enjoy what remains of YOUR day!

This looks one hot pic, Matt!

Thank you, David.

Thank you sir. Yes the Palmolive sticks are utilitarian for sure-but give a great shave.

Awesome close-up! The scent of the Palmolive stick is growing on me. Hated it at first but it's a performer for sure!

First DE shave in about two months. Been learning to use a straight and I had loaned out my DE to a friend to get him into wet shaving.

Muhle R89 - Astra SP - MWF - Thater 49125/1

Result is BBS

Although predominantly a straight user now, I find it quite enjoyable to bring out the DE every once in a while. And a superb combination of products here, Ryan!

Love the style, Mark, and Cella.....

Thanks, David. I wish I could say I loved the smell. I'll tolerate it since it's such a great soap, but I'm not sure I'll replace it.

Thankfully I love the smell, but there are many equally performing soaps around that it's no hardship to let it go if that's the case.

Celebrating my daughter's 4th birthday today, a happy big little girl with her favorite present (she loves playing with dolls)

Just got home from a week away, and what a lovely post, Rune. Hope your daughter is having a fun day. Is she having a party at home? In the UK, most parents don't even go there....they book another place!!!!

Gents, this week for me has been even more busy than usual. I had the chance to take three shots, but very little time for comments and quotes. Anyway I want to thank you all for the wonderful pics that every day, with passion and commitment, you post. This is what makes the B&B SOTD forum so special and magic. Thank you wholeheartedly once again.
