Razor | Klas Törnblom | Cream | Tabac | After Shave | Tabac

Great shave this morning with the Klas Törnblom. Lovely light razor this, it weighs nothing. A couple of tiny nicks I felt but could not see. Tabac cream and Tabac soap are really nice together.

Lovely Spring weather at the moment (yeah, I’m going to REALLY rub it in for all you guys up top heading in to winter), 30 degrees tomorrow and the next day. Can’t wait till it’s 40 and it gets to the stage where you sweat just sitting.

The weekend was excellent, time spent with my sons, my grandson and my daughter. Oh, the wife hung around too.

Did eight sets of bench presses supersetted with leg presses today at lunch time. I'd lost a little bit of strength after my week off, but I reckon I'll bounce back quickly

It's not a lot of times an image generates an audible "oh" from me unless I'm standing in front of a Caravaggio.

Was it you I said reminded me of Caravaggio a few weeks ago? This is very nice, I like it...

Shave of Yesterday

One can never go wrong with a 6/8" Husgn & Ern, I've owned a few Ern's and they were without exception quality razors. The Castle Forbes Lime, as usual, makes a fantastic lather. I used a 22mm silvertip brush from The Golden Nib, clad in a bone handle. After the shave, Ogallalla Bay Rum , the Limes & Peppercorns variety.

It stinks, but I like it anyway
