Wonderful display, Soren!:thumbup1: So who's going to win this weekend then??
 
Just lovely, Balaji!

Thank you Marco! BTW, how do you like MWF b/c it completely different from like Cella, Razorock & MdC?

Balaji, if there's one soap to do a shave any justice, then MWF fits the bill very nicely. So glad you had a return to normality today. Great shot. I am going to miss your posts next week but thoroughly enjoy your holiday.:001_smile

Thank you David! Your pic too was quite excellent my friend! I am going to miss posting this week. You would think that when your on Vacay there's time to do everything but i guess thats not the case lol. This shave was great. BTW how was yours, better than yesterdays?
 
A wonderful pic as always, Soren! Is the Myrsol Agua de Limon alcohol based? And is the scent of true lemons?

Thank you very much.

Yes, it has a lot of alcohol - first component at least :001_smile

the ingredienslist is:
Alcohol denat.
Aqua
Sorbitol
Parfum
Menthol
Citric Acid
CI 19140 (Yellow 5)

As it only states perfume I don't know if there are any natural fragrances in it.
It does smell very citrussy, but I could very well imagine that some would find the scent to be a little "synthetic".
I love it however, and despite alcohol being the first component I don't find it to be drying out the skin, I was actually very positive surprised of the performance.
Being a citrus scent it doesn't last long though, but I have found it to be very compatible to colognes and EDT's in that area to, for example T&H Freshman, Pen's Blenheim and Ferrari Black.

Thank you.

Liverpool and Ferrari of course :biggrin1: - because I do
 
I'm going to be dreaming about Mike's soaps before long, I think. They are cropping up all over the place. A really fine close-up of a great shave-and the original Proraso rather than the reformulated one is definitely the better IMO.
Thanks, David! Yes Mike's is some pretty slick stuff-I like it a lot. On Proraso-I have two full bottles of the old formula AS, I'm debating picking up a third for backup. I've also recently got a good friend of mine 'hooked' on the Proraso line-Every time I talk to him he's picked up another product to try :thumbup1: ...I think the ADs are starting :devil: :clap:

First use of new Feather Artist Club RG, with Feather Pro Guard Blades.

Keb Mo kept me focused.
Thanks "Geochubbyboy" for the amazing utubes and inspiration.
Feeling Good, might celebrate down the pub,


Cheers Guys.



Congratulations on your first straight razor shave!:thumbup1: And in only 15 mins? How many passes was that? And yes, a trip down the pub sounds an excellent idea to me!:001_smile:thumbup1:
