Another great shave today. It is getting harder to get a shave that is unsatisfactory. The blade is the one variable that makes the most difference. They all get dull, but blades that I thought were marginal early on are now giving me excellent shaves.

Been watching you all on B&B for a long time, thought I'd throw in my first post:
Brush: Kent large, silvertip, Badger
Neck Razor: Dovo 5/8", Micarta
Soap: Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandlewood
Head razor: Futur (setting 2, last time I used it I was a little hungover and cranked it up to 4 and it looked like I shaved with a chainsaw)
Superlather (for head only): Taylor of old Bond Street Sandlewood soap and cream
Aftershave Balm: Proraso (Blue I think)

 

[mkiraly]

great night shot!

Thanks sarimento!
Now that you mention it , it does appear to be a night shot.
Truth be told, I was lucky to catch this view at the last split second before a cloud moved in front of the sun.
I love the light in the desert, it plays tricks, and creates surprises!

No flash, I should be so talented!
I think the edge of that cloud created the darkness (deep blue sky) in the background, and the last bit of sun is lighting up my stuff, a lucky "natural" fill flash, if you will...
