Thanks, Neale. My wife had the box made for me for Father's Day. She indulges me... as long as I don't screw up her color scheme for our bathroom.

OK, I tried to get a photo ready as well, but my photography skills are clearly not as good as my shaving skills .

3 days' wild hair growth (you could have probably lit one of those non-safety matches on my face before this shave!)
Hot shower

Hot towel
Trumper's Coral Skin Food pre-shave
T&H 1805 shave cream
GB Kent badger
SRP TI 6/8 LE no. 141
More Trumper's Coral Skin Food post-shave
Miller Harris terre de bois cologne

Very close, very smooth... and still is so!

Cool pic by the way.
I have to ask - what are your thoughts on the Cucumber and Rose Balm? How does it compare to Coral Skin Food?
