Feel free to do a virtual shave anytime this happens again.
So I imagine that yesterday's shave was a perfect BBS shave with an brass Bumpless MMOC. I imagine having lathered with a nice hot Cella on my custom SHD badger brush.

Were you a librarian at one time? Your ability to remember or research things is really impressive.

It was. I'll have to do it for real soon. Although I almost never get a BBS shave.

I used a recently acquired Personna 74 in my Gem Micromatic Open Comb late in the day yesterday. It provided a very smooth shave. Time will tell if the legendary of their longevity is true.

Nice shave, Twelvefret! With both you and GAW9576 including timepieces in your pictures, it's like a good ole hostage photo where they're holding up today's newspaper! I hope only whiskers were harmed in the act of shaving!!!

Good to hear from you, sir!! Yep, I'm an old clock/watch and radio fan. GAW9576 sure has nice looking time peices. As crafty and skilled as he is, he probably makes them from scraps left over from other projects.
