Pre-shave Soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Merkur 23C
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
Brush: Vulfix 2234 Super
Cream: Ingram (I should be using this more often)
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Proraso Splash

I decided that I needed a small blast of menthol this morning as an antidote to the winter blahs. It was an excellent, refreshing shave and now I'm eager for another snowfall so that I can enjoy shoveling it. Just kidding about the snow shoveling, but it was a great shave!

Is anyone planning to go to Northern Spain this spring...that La Toja soap bowl gets me every time! I think the fellows over at B&B tried to do a group buy but somehow were stifled on some issue. Nice pic Tieste, thanks!
Begginish (the guy from B&B) have received the soaps that I sent him last week.I dont know if its gonna be possible to repeat the group buy again,since the soaps were held in customs for 2 months,and almost returned back to Spain,to my friend DU212 (the guy who sent them to me).
