Nice relaxing night shave for me this evening. This is the first RazoRock soap that I've used and it performed very well. Excellent post-shave feel and the tobacco scent matches wonderfully with Alt-Insbruck. I'm still enjoying the smooth, comfortable shaves with the Gillette Contour and hopefully the original 1979 handle I bought on eBay will be here next week.

To all you mothers out there....have a great day :)

Old Spice Sunday, Smell like a man!

Razor..Muhle R41 (2011)
Blade..Polsilver Stainless (lodz) #4
Soap..Old Spice...Shulton
Brush..Semouge 2000
Post..Thayers lavender
A-S..Old Spice...Shulton

My first ever shave with the 2011 R41...I approched this shave with some trepidation after hearing all the story's but I need not have worried, it gave me an extremely close shave finnished in two passes.
It's like a junk-yard dog, you just need to give it some respect and know that if not careful it could bite.
A great shave without nicks or irritation from this razor, love it!

Have a great day people.......:)
