It gets like that after a while...Soon you'll be making lists deciding on which razor for which day, paired with which After Shave and which soap, etc. You'll consider that you'll need a relaxed...

Cough, cough, um, I'd just like to say that you've just blown us all out of the water. Those photos, esp the first, are just seriously incredible.

It's like...we're messing around up at the...

That must be why he's a maestro, surely? That's a work of art. Those scales and that pin is a work of art. Those scales would go REALLY nice on a frameback, I reckon...

That's a really important statement, Mike. Now I've got a really nice strop, I should pay more attention to using the strop to smooth an edge. Thanks!

Thursday

A bit of an interesting day at work discussing Joseph Conrad, Lucretius, Aldous Huxley, Timothy Leary and reading reports on weird and wonderful comments by psychotic prisoners. This...

Trafalgar is a nice citrussy scent; and long lasting too, one of my favourites...I may have said that before, if so, just ignore me...

That's the second Top Flight in a week I think. My Top Flight was my first razor, and it takes an edge that is astonishingly sharp...

I was only at sea for four and a half months, all the way from Perth in Western Australia to Nagasaki and back, through the South China seas, on the biggest ship (at the time) in the Australian Navy,...

That's a really, really cool SOTD post. I love the fact you used your grandfather's razor and the mug your son made, very cool.

I also love the razor and the way you cleaned it up but left the...

I'd like the option of a bigger f stop myself, but the Rolliecord I use for 'serious' photography only goes to 3.5. The old Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ5 that I use (with a Leica lens, non changeable)...

Tuesday

Hi guys, I hope you’re all having a good week so far. The shave this morning with the Hellberg frameback was superb. This is fast becoming one of my favourite razors. The thin tang and...

Nice cuff links Bill!



Just read your sig line, have you read Heart of darkness, By Joseph Conrad?

I spy with my little eye some nice patina... :chapeau
