Here is a smiling wedge from Sheffield. This is another of my favorite silent shavers. I have to be in a proper mood for TABAC. Or perhaps I should say proper brood. Have a nice day!

You done good Carl. Sometimes it can be difficult to get motivated for these types of projects.

Today the UFO had yet another transformation.
It is compared with the Giraffe on the hybrid R89/R41F.
For the UFO the weight ... 101g compared to 90g.
For the Giraffe balance and ergonomics.
An exciting challenge of uncertain outcome.
Sure winner, the pleasure of the act.

Please take the time to make time for yourself, that is what time off is all about, well apart from chores, visits, and other jobs.
You are making good progress on the outside of the bathroom, as.I said before you know it, it will be done.

[QUOTE=edhewitt;1220609]Ta. Finished the grouting today. Now if I can just work out how to get two sheets of gyprock to my place I'll be on the finishing leg. Apart from paining; I HATE painting.Quote:

I sort of like the 'before' shot, with the patination on the blade. It's done now and my opinion doesn't matter, but that would have looked cool polishing the frame and leaving the blade patinated.Quote:

Put 2 pieces on the roof bars, put the sheets of gyproc on them put the other two pieces of timber on top.Quote:

Apollo
Today, thanks to the usual loan, I tried for the first time an Apollo.
A DE closed comb by the appearance threatening, but a velvety touch.
And It is the case to say ... a shave divine!

Saturday
Razor | Burrell Top Flight | Superlather | Mike’s Natural Pine and Cedarwood | After Shave | Tabac
Saturday is supposed to be DE day, but it’s holidays; anything can happen. This Saturday’s afternoon straight razor shave was a rare occurrence, and lasted long enough to fit in half an hour of Frank Sinatra; all the way from I’ve Got the World on a String to The Lady is a Tramp.
The superlather was astonishing, truly astonishing, the whole shave was excellent.
I chose this razor for the audio feedback it offered, and with a face that hadn't been shaved since whatever day is was I wasn't disappointed, this razor informs you clearly and confidently of every single hair it cuts…

[QUOTE=edhewitt;1221028]Oh my goodness you do get your time frames mixed up. I used to surf ten THOUSAND years ago!! However, I do have roof racks. Not a bad idea re cutting them down. However, first I'll see if I can get the larger sheets delivered, I'd rather larger sheets so there is less joins.Quote:
