Razor Thiers Issard 69 Frameback
Just an awesomely rich creamy, and slick lather from this soap which is also frigid & matched with the splash...it's numbingly cold, like being on local anesthesia, and smells good...
Another superb shave with this frameback. Smooth and crisp diamond balsa edge after stroping on the roo leather, not as buttery-smooth after the Kanayama.... 3 passes for a bbs-ccs finish...

Hello Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Finished up the retirement seminar and I can comfortably retire when I'm 103.. :rolleyes:

I kid.. I'm feeling pretty good with my situation at the moment. Doesn't mean there aren't some things I can do now to put myself in a better position when the time does arrive. One big plus I have here is a company pension along with 401k. Not a lot of people out there have that and I'm exceedingly thankful for it.

Great shave to start the day. Went with an "Old Spice" theme. Great lather and scent from the Stirling soap. Two passes (+ touch-up) with the Psycho Tech and I finished with a splash of the Indian "Old Spice" ASL and a spray of P&G "Old Spice" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Four days growth to smooth as silk.
Two full passes and a third for the neck and under the chin. The Lupo 72 is so smooth yet efficient.
