Boots soap in a tub
Gillette 7 O'Clock yellow

RazorRock alum
Aquatonic
RSC Balm

Confused myself today, I thought I was on my fourth shave with this blade whereas it's actually only it's second, so I went much lighter than I could have done. Bit of a lazy shave with results to match, not much by way of prep and I only went with the boots soap because it was on the top of my stack of soap & cream pots.

Taylors lemon 'n' lime cream - thanks FactorMax!

Lemon and lime: very refreshing and a nice summertime option. Sadly it doesn't possess the armour plating properties of Nanny's soap, something to which I have become perhaps a little too accustomed...

This blade is huge and sharp and I love it, it´s almost obscen both in aperence and size :lol: . Had some difficulties with my problem areas, but it turned out to be a very very nice shave even though I got a nick, when I relaxed some :roll:

Well, thank you Fido! My father was a photographer and I learnt some from him, but I´m no where near being able to take good shots when I want though. But the most important thing he tought me, is that if you take a _lot_ of shots some will be ok :lol: . I like how you frame your pictures and compose them.
