In memory of my dear departed father, who finally gave up the spirit after 2 year fight with lung cancer and chemo last week, I have been wearing a trimmed beard in the style he wore for the last few decades. After the service on Friday took to the beard like a hot knife through butter with P160 and Grifetto touched up on a thurry.

condolences for your father @Holiday

An evening shave (!!) after a 1100km drive from Katherine to Alice Springs. Never been to the latter before, and had absolutely no expectations whatsoever, having never even seen pictures of the place. It turns out to be really quite lovely, and a great place to celebrate my 60th birthday. Here's an evening view from my room (DoubleTrees by Hilton):

Soap: Bath House Cuban Cedar & Lime
Brush: Vie Long Horse (American Barber Style)
Razor: Rocnel Elite

Very comfortable set up. I enjoy the smaller brush occasionally when I feel like something with a more precise touch and don’t want to be smothered by a brush that covers half your face.
Happy Birthday @Gargravarr for yesterday.
Sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad @Holiday .
 
Razor: C.V.HELJESTRAND ESKILSTUNA single edge Wedge [c1920]
Arrived this afternoon well packed from Serbia. Honed a blade for this shave.
Handle is my mod this afternoon to see how it performs.
Soap Vitos Red
Brush an AliExpress "cashmere" synthetic. Great size brush but the handle is a bit slippery. I will fix that with some 1200 grit wet and dry.
