Second: Absolutely gorgeous Fili and DD my friend. Use them both in good health.

Third: Don't give up on Al's creme...once you get there, you'll know why.

Thank you Robert. I will tell her.

Location: 91324
Prep: Shower
Pre-Shave: Anthony's Sicilian Pre-Shave Oil (Bay Rum Scent)
Brush: AOS Badger
Cream: Old Spice-Fresh Lime
Blade: JB Eyre 4/8 Barber's Notch
Post-Shave: Alum Block/ Lucky Tiger Face Tonic
AS: Pinaud Clubman
Music: Selections from Marriage of Figaro, Die Meistersinger, I Pagliacci

Results: Outstanding. I shaved about 12 hours ago and the left side of my face is still remarkably smooth. The right side has just the slightest bit of stubble returning. I have a small area on the right side of my neck where I can't quite figure out the growth pattern, so this is the one area I still rely on my DE.

date: saturday, 4/2
location: my bathroom
prep: coffee, slice of banana bread and a shower
brush: ej badger (from crabtree & evelyn)
cream: crabtree & evelyn nomad
bowl: $1 in some shop in chinatown, nyc
stright razor: dovo special
follow up razor for the spots i can never quite seem to get with the dovo: ej89 with darby blade
post shave: crabtree & evelyn sandlewood aftershave balm / splash of pinaud
hair: groom and clean, 69 cent comb from rite aid (edit: comb was in my backpocket at time of photoshoot, so you'll have to trust me on this one)
photo location: dining room table and utilizing a twin size white sheet

It's a bit late now I know, but I wasn't originally going to post this, but then changed my mind. My usual set up out here is
Razor: Gotta 120
Soap: Mennen
Brush: Cheap one from a supermarket chain
Strop: 'Roo hide
View: Priceless

I took these shots just prior to shaving while the light was nice.







And just one of my home away from home for the hell of it. It'll soon have a veranda added on to it and an inside toilet . No more traipsing across the paddock for the big jobs or nipping outside on a cold and frosty night for a pee.

Cool photos!

I really like how open the photos are. I live in Sydney, no openness here, just busy, crowded and polluted!!!

Visited Sydney once. Once was enough. I've never been back. I like the country best, for the reason that you like the photo's...Plenty of space. Thank you for you kind words.
