Great photos, gentlemen! Have a beautiful day! :thumbup:

Dave (congrats on the #15. How do you like it?)

Thanks my friend. I had been convinced that my Otto Roth New LC was the best shave on a consistent basis however, all the hype on the #15 is absolutely correct. I know there are some guys that prefer the #16, or #21, but I cannot imagine them being any better for me. The smoothest, closest shave and with no irritation at all. No cleanup pass.

( I cold water shave so irritation has never been an issue, Well until I used the shavette for the 1st time, that was a bit of a bloodbath LOL :w00t:)

The balance of the razor is damn near perfect in the hand. effortless and very smooth. A bit milder than I had been led to believe, but that could be just me. Overall fantastic, just fantastic.

Have a wonderful shave and shiny day to all! Italians do it better.

I'm posting this a little late. Didn't have time for a pic before work. It was a great day for a Klassik scent. I used my big ol' Omega boar on that lil ol' Peppermint Patty/Klondike Bar looking piece of soap. Great smell, nice lather. Used the Merkur 1904 42C with a Polsilver blade to coax the whiskers off my face. Finished off with some Klassik EDT.
