2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I haven’t used Bay Rum in quite a while and am a fan of this scent. I can see getting a couple of other takes on this fragrance. Great shave today.

I like the lighting in that picture! It’s a lot harder to get right with straights than with safety razors, for some reason 😅

Thank you!
Yes. Definitely. The photo is about chiaroscuro; a fancy term I learned in art school which I attended after my university years in engineering. Aside from learning fancy terms, I learned how to take abuse from (and appreciate the talent of) real artists.

Funny how oxymorons in a foreign language sound fancy 😅
“this picture is a good example for brightdark” sounds more… pedestrian 😅

My wife is an artist. This is the kind of comment that gets me “The Look”. “The Look” speaks volumes but it communicates disdain and exasperation. I get this a lot :)
