Hi, from a local antique shop. I really wanted the whole deal, stand, etc, but in fact buying a stand with the hole in it for the basin AND getting a basin to fit is hard anyway. I also don't mind...

Thank you. I must say my Sunday routine probably needs to shift into some sort of cutting grass mode from reading Leaves of Grass mode pretty much ASAP; the grass is almost as tall as I...

I don't think you're off topic at all, Unit! ;)

That web site sounds like The Art Of Manliness; a great site. I'm not sure i agree with the statement in that article that hot water dulls your blade. Interesting read, though, thanks...

Saturday

A day spent with the older son. Coffee, cake, sun, antique shop browsing, honing, beer drinking, Bok Choy with garlic and omelette cooking...

This morning's shave was mainly to...

That's interesting, in fact, in an old barber shop manual I read it stated the purpose of soap was to stiffen the hair, not soften...

What did he say?

Friday

Excellent workout at the gym at lunch today. My weight is down to 73.6, which is a reduction of 5.5 kilos in 59 days. My aim was to get to 73; losing 6.1 in eighty days. I reckon I’ve...

Thursday

Another bizarre day in Wonderland where I work. It’s like I’m Alice and I keep meeting these wild characters. Even the gobbled-gook language is there. It’s very possible that tomorrow...

They look really cool, Jamie. I like the 'Northcote' boot. Problem is there's no prices and they don't seem to sell online but I haven't checked out the page fully). I don't even know if I can get...

Wednesday

Just a quick shave this morning of the neck area, as I’m still going for the scruffy bohemian look. It’s not actually noticeable yet, though the moustache etc is coming along just fine....

Whiney dude? Michael Hutchance or whatever from INXS?

Oh please, I'm having breakfast!!! Goodness!

[EDIT] now if that had happened without shorts on, I think you'd be what may be termed a 'trans gender' fellow...

Tuesday

Day 6 of Movember and it’s taken a twist. I decided last night shave only my neck for the rest of the month and see what happens. I know that’s not in the spirit of Movember, but it’s...

I was always meaning to get an old Gillette, in the month and year of my birth...

Monday

Well, the moustache, soul patch and beard thing is growing back quite nicely now, I’m starting to look rather bohemian, a little French, so much so that I’m contemplating going for the full...

Pretty good, but the bone at the top isn't knitting yet. It doesn't bother him, he's very used to it being in his sling now. We'll go back to the surgeon soon for more x rays and hopefully there's...

Bailey (my grandson) and his couisins feeding Elmo potatoe chips. They had a great day today, Bailey calls them 'the little people' (they're twins).

Tom, what's the Mühle on the right? Is that a 41? I have to try an open comb DE one day, for some reason even though I use a straight most often (and a Mühle 89) I'm a bit nervous about an open...

Sunday

Up early today for my weekly Sunday morning walk to the top of Mount Torrens. The picture below of the track doesn’t do it justice; it’s steeper than it looks, so much so that you need to...
