Needed to post a pic of my new shave bowl, the shop keeper where I bought it is a friend, and she was a bit disappointed that her favorite bowl was going to be used for something like shaving. I don't think she realizes who we are here. :)

The Osprey has to be my best shaving related purchase, period. I'd never have thought an adjustable could be smoother than any of my other razors. Having a Gibbs, I was hoping for something in the same ballpark, and this is indeed that, and then some. I know there are other razors out there that more closely copy the Gibbs, but this is the one that actually delivers on the experience, in a 21st century format.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to CBL Soaps and their excellent "Spaghetti Western" shave soap & ASL. Great scent and fantastic lather built with the Paladin "Falstaff" 2-Band Select Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Gillette Super Speed and I finished with vintage Quinn's "Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind" witch hazel, followed by the matching aftershave lotion and Geo F. Trumper "Spanish Leather" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)
