First shave with my new Friodur. That's the closest a razor has come to the performance of a Filarmonica. Excellent!

Happy New Year!​
 
Tepid shower. Not from choice. Too much laundry done today.


To the shave:

Gillette Slim Adjustable
Gillette Super Thin (2)
Truefitt & Hill 1805 Cream.
NF2207 brush.

Three passes, seeing as it's Hogmanay.
Followed up with a most invigorating splash of Alt Innsbruck.

Splendid shave.

Have a good one chaps.
 
Hey kids, Happy New Year. Please do not fall in excesses tonight. We already have an age.

PS:
Thank you very very much for enabling me to enjoy your funny, wonderful, and lovely pics.
Thank you for your time, for your kindly efforts, for your art.
It has been an honour and a privilege to share with you every instant.
I love you, kids. :cool:
 
Lovely shave before the fun starts

Gillette TV Special Rocket paired with a Feather
Cold rinse
Barbershop Bay Rum from our very own Steve

Awakening is the menthol kick i was after and i shall be visiting their website in the near future! Wonderful stuff and a very good lather. The cold splash afterwards just about took my breath away. I must be a man of contrasts, a boiling hot shower followed by a shave with a mildish razor coupled with the sharpest blade out there and the coolest soap i have used yet. Followed up with the warmest, loveliest splash i have used. Wonderful shave and i am now sitting with my feet up in front of the woodburner with a nice malt in hand.[/b]

Proraso pre/post
Merkur 34C HD
Gillette yellow 7oc SharpEdge
Duke 2 Best
TOBS Sandalwood SC

This cold water thing isn't bad. Might try it again.

BBS!
