Apologies for not posting yesterday’s shave, but old man issues intervened, and I instead ended up with a long ride on my back to UPenn Emergency. After a day of being poked, prodded, chided about cigars, single malt scotch, eating habits, and whatever else the children in white coats felt I needed a lecture about, I’m back! Since it was late when they finally gave up and released me, I spent the night in my 51st floor condo perch with its great view. I’ve include a night and morning shot with the shave pic.

I woke up to a beautiful, sunny day for my shave, and one of my favorite razors kindly brought to me by SWMBO. My Colonial Silversmith delivered its usual masterpiece shave. This razor is simply incredible! Equipped with a Feather or in this case a Wizamet Super Iridium blade, has no peer in whisker reductions in my collection. Mike’s Hungarian Lavender provided a thick, protective cushion for what felt like an empty razor until a quick check with my right hand confirmed its inaudible, highly efficient sweeping away of my whiskers. The result was a two pass (WTG, ATG) BBS of both my healed dome and face.
I feel coool, smoooth, clean and refreshed!

RAZOR: Colonial Silversmith
BLADE: Wizamet Super Iridium
PREP: Cold water rinse
BRUSH: WCS Best Badger
SOAP: Mike’s Hungarian Lavender
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brushsqueezings followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with Fine Accoutrements Snake Bite AS Splash
