This big (7/8) swede's all business, two days stubble was history in no time. Yesterday was the shortest day of this year, now it has turned and it's becoming lighter for every day (I don't like the winter ;)) and my Christmas holiday started too :D

I never really post in these threads but always follow them to see what's popular as well as admire the pictures. This one has jumped out at me - just gorgeous.

Really seasonal and, even if the wee boy is about to put his boot into your Berg razor, very cute!

So what do you think so far after 3-4 shaves? Congrats on a happy ending to that deal.

Hi Martin

Not quite sure to be honest. The alignment needs tinkering with to get it to sit fairly evenly. It shaves well for first couple of passes - takes off more compared to HD but keep getting the fine slice marks and some nicks today and cut on chin. The engineering of the cap isn't the best but glad to have the deal finished with.

Still trying blades out so will see how it goes but thanks for the kind words :)

Somersets Shave Oil
Kai Captain Excelia (Japanese Style)
Semogue Caravela
Nannys Nutmeg Spice
Lucky Tiger AS/Toner
Organic Shea Butter
James Bronnley Gentlemans EDT
Morgans Classic Pomade

A conversation with a fellow member reminded me of the Excelia.....which I have not used for a while. Tonight I had a fantastic 2 pass BBS. I think the fact that I use traditional straights helps the technique, and I keep getting more and more shaves from the blades.
