Yes, it was lovely, are you enjoying yours?



My commiserations...

Saturday

A late afternoon shave after spending the day painting floorboards. I was going for an old fashioned white-washed look, I’m not sure it worked.

After the foray into handyman...

I envy you. I can't really imagine what camping in Holland must be like, but camping is camping...

Friday

A nice, simple, ‘classic’ shave today…

I used to love range shoots when I was in the army. I preferred 'normal' range shoots rather than Surface to Air Missile practices, esp when I was promoted to Sergeant, as I had more control as a...

Thursday

The car’s broken down (wheel bearings) so, as there’s no public transport in the tiny town I live in, I’ve been forced to take two days’ recreation leave. I told my wife last night I...

Wow, love the hone AND the photo! (the razor too, actually...) :-)

I use a little piece of Blu Tac behind my razors to make them stand up, but I've used it so many times it's not real sticky. So the razor kept falling over. Further to that, the scales have...

Oh. Ummm. I don't know what to say....

Yeah, yeah, yeah..."if there's no pic it never happened". Which clearly is why the Internet is full of porn these days instead of green writing on a black background; the need for every guy to prove...

So true, Paul. I was initially captivated by The Art of the Straight Razor Shave, by Christopher Moss. That text made straight razor shaving sound so luxurious and technical and so much an Art. ...

Take care! I think sometimes we need to concentrate on enjoying the really small things, like the warmth of the sun on your back, or something...
I know that's what I need to concentrate on....

Wednesday

Nice smooth shave with the Klas Törnblom this morning. It demonstrated the difference in smoothness between it and the De Pews I honed yesterday. I need to research what results in...

You're crazier than me! Glad to see it finally arrived, 800 mils of goodness. I might have to get the larger size next time too, esp as I've taken to sprinkling some on my pillow slips and sheets...

Tuesday

A day off work to take Bailey, my grandson, to the hospital to see the bone surgeon. It ended up that my wife took him, as my car has issues. The bone still hasn’t knitted after almost...

Oh, I wasn't being pedantic. My De Pews is quite wedgy, and also quite narrow. It seems to me that most wedges are massive things, fit only for use by Canadians and Vikings...

I'll moisturise your Fukin face in a minute!

Ha! I thought about you and your en-route 800ml Lavanda when I posted that!
After a couple of B&W shots I decided to overdo the levels in GIMP...

Monday

Three hundred and forty three days of straight razor shaving and my shaves are suddenly getting better by simply concentrating on the grain. I don’t want to put a number on it but I...

Cool photo and cool razor; it looks a little wedgy-ish



Cool! You've got one of those shaving travel box things. I always thought of getting one and shaving while camping, but never have...

Sunday

Another shave with the De Pews this morning, even though I’d shaved last night. I think the De Pews needs a trip to the hones. I WAS considering sending it out to be honed, but I need to...

Happy birthday old fella... :-)
