Oh that's very very nice too. What's the little jewel thing on it? A bit over the top maybe, but it's nice...
I find my Mühle R 89 very very forgiving and easy to use; I think I need a challenge with one of those more aggressive razors.

Straight Razor: BISMARCK, Dovo. 6/8, full hollow


Brush: Custom made with Boar bristle and Olive wood


Scuttle: Schwarzweisskeramik


Shaving soap: Homemade cream/soap with stearic acid, coconut oil, shea butter, lanolin. Cherry and Almond scent

Aftershave balsam: Homemade with mango butter, cocoa butter, almond oil, grape seed oil, and chamomile infusion. Neroli scent

Have a nice week, everyone!

What that means for YOU guys is I’ll be annoying you around here over the next few days more than usual, there is only SO much daytime TV one can watch.

Oh, the shave. It went very well. I put the Faulding ‘Shave’ cream in the bowl and then spied the sample of TOBS Rose, so thought I’d mix them and see what transpired. It worked well. I’ll have the try the TOBS Rose by itself tomorrow.

I might be honing a few razors over the next few days too.

I must say I’m mightily pissed off I can’t do any climbing or weights workouts this week. Bugger!

Hope your arm heals quickly. Enjoy the few days anyway.

Thank you, I appreciate that. I'll catch up on a whole load of Monty Python movies to cheer me up...

Well at least you will have plenty of time to catch up on Neighbours and Home and Away. Now that I think about it, the infection is probably less painful than watching those

I start a two day trial today before leaving Thursday for a week of holiday in Italy. Japanese steel and vintage lavender sure is a good way to prep for trial:

And because it never hurts to have the Force on your side in the courtroom, I picked up some new cufflinks to wear today as well:
