Penhaligon's Elixir EdP
Hoping to get caught up with everyone's journals soon. Things have been a whirlwind lately. but today was a nice relaxing, long straight shave. It being Easter, it has to be a Cathedral theme, and no better soap and software than the above.
A good 3-pass shave + clean-up and BSBBS, as the 1151 is holding such a nice edge. Speaking of that I have finally settled on a honing regiment that is paying off in spades. So I may be letting go of my Shapton's soon as I think I have found the magical mojo in the Cotcule Dilucot and Trans-Ark finish. Over the last couple of weeks I have honed many of the barbers razors, as well as a few customers, including a secret shopper, whose edges I have admired for a long time, and for him to state I gave him the best edge he has shaved with, including his own makes me proud to think I have maybe finally arrived and honing nirvana.
Finished off with the Elixir and ready ofr a nice quiet Easter with Friends and Family.
Set-up today:
Sharon and I , wish you and yours a very Happy and Blessed Easter

Thanks Craig Happy Easter to you and yours as well. Jan Barthini, she has been collecting, selling, and honing Razors in Tucson for about
40 yrs, I met her at the Steam punk festival a few years ago and had her hone some razors for me when I was still learning. the edges were awesome and I did a few for her this last week

Well Shattering news. 70th has fallen off the pinnacle today, to #2 on the hit parade. It has been replaced by Opuntia. A solemn day for sure.................... NOT! LOL
