Thanks, Dave!

Thank you Celestino & Dave!

How are we defining "artisanal?" I may not be sure, but whatever it is, I'm sure half of the goodies in the pictures are not it

The theme usually is just a suggestion. Like speed limits and stop signs
Some days its nice to see a bunch of us follow a theme, but in the end, I'm just here to enjoy pictures.
Snap a pic of whatever you prefer and enjoy the hobby

Lots of us love RazoRock, right?
One of my favorites is Don Marco, a Bergamot Neroli scent that's killer!
Typical RazoRock lathering, slickness, cushion, and performance, with a pretty good post-shave face-feel. I love the matching balm, as well...

Been mostly a cream guy, but I've used Klar Kabinett and Cella on consecutive shaves, looks like I'm getting better glide and closer shaving. Yeah, I think I'm gonna explore more soaps, outstanding shaves and results!
