First run with the newly aquired Tech...nice shaver. Put in one of the last Reds...I gave away 70 of these blades not too long ago because I couldn't get a decent shave with any of my razors. But in the Tech, the Red was impressive. Oh, well live and learn.

Actually a late night Sunday shave

Shavemac Custom Silvertip
QED Violetta Soap
L'Occitane CADE splash

The Violetta is a nice treat - the bathroom and halfway down the hall smelled like Violets.

All hail Charles @ QED! His Sandalwood soap is nothing short of amazing, both performance- & scent-wise! The QED/Aristocrat/Feather combo is a winner for me -- I almost didn't need to use an AS. Can still smell the sandalwood as I sit here typing this, 2 hours post-shave. Nice blend w/the Rose.
