[QUOTE=MrMagnus;1198880][CENTER]Razor: Dubl Duck Special no1
Brush: NewForest Tubby 1
Soap: GFT Eucris
ASB: Tabac
Magnus Don't give up on the Eucris, I found it likes a bit more water than some and a little more work, also works better with some brushes than others but when you get it right its not a bad spam if a little strong on the nose
Straight razor shaving is like motorcycling both require full attention and continuos learning and honing of skills...

Wednesday
Razor | Jernbolaget Frameback | Cream | Tabac | After Shave | Tabac
Quite a nice shave this morning, but it was carried out with some pain. Last night at bouldering I ripped a whole heap of skin off my arm, and then I got all depressed thinking maybe I was just too old to be bouldering, and I should just give up and get fat.
The shave brought me out of that mood somewhat, the Tabac assisted, as did nicely polished handmade brown leather boots, a nice jacket and nice vintage cufflinks.
By the time work was finished and I had listened to an excerpt of Martin Luther King’s speech on the radio (I believe the speech was given 50 years ago) and had committed to find the audio and put it on my music player so I could listen to it in the morning I was feeling much, much better.
I hope you're all feeling much much better too, which means that if you were feeling pretty chipper before you're now over the moon and quite ecstatic, really.
Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

A smooth shave this morning...
He saw a lawyer killing a viper on a dunghill hard by his own stable; And the Devil smiled, for it put him in mind of Cain and his brother Abel.
