Thanks Celestino & Dave!

Prep - Shower / Pre-lather / 3 min steam towel (and a nice glass of 12 year old Singleton)
Razor - Gillette New Long Comb
Blade - Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge Yellow (#3)
Brush - Omega 20106
Soap - Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna (with plenty of glycerine!)
After - Frozen towel / Alum & WH Mix
Result - BBS

Been a while since I used the New LC, as it's been known to bite, but the Yellow blade has been so smooth that I knew it wasn't going to be an issue. The result was so good that I couldn't even see stubble in the 10x mirror. It's ridiculous how good a shave I get in problem areas, with the LC.

As has probably been noticed, I have not posted to SOTD for several days. I have been having problems with my hands going numb on me.(again) It seems to be always happening at the most inopportune moments.
I even lathered up a beautiful lather of a new soap that I am testing. The soap lathered up perfectly, but dropping my brush several times, it was more of a PITA than it's worth.

I will wait a couple of days I just wanted all of you folks to know that I did not fall off the face of the earth.

I hope that you all have a great Memorial Day weekend.
