Razor | Joseph Elliot | Cream | Musgo Real Classic | After Shave | Myrosol Aqua de Limón

I touched up the edge on this razor last night on the Shapton 16k. I did about 15 or so laps and while the edge was fine when I received it recently I thought I could improve it a little. It is in fact a little better, which is nice.

After the shave the rest of the day was spent working on some house repairs. The wall between the bathroom and kitchen is a mess, as are the floor boards. Five minutes in to the thing I’d already injured myself my stepping on a nail. Then Lucy the Dalmation fell through he floor boards and then I did. It’s lucky I have a brother who knows what he’s doing or else we’d all be sleeping in a tent on the back lawn tonight.

A great way to start the week. It's sunny, so we'll go for a stroll in the park nearby, where there's a "Pure Market".
Special sausages, honey, olive oil, bread, raspberry goodies, jams, you name it. A very nice atmosphere and I might even enjoy a small glass of "bubbly" in the sun.
Have a great week gentlemen!

For face lathering, Valobra and Pixelfixed’s robust boar bristle works wonderful. The King 4/8 keeps up with the big boys. Nice clean shaver. Slick.

Sorry to hear about the injuries Carl at least they were minor. How’s your dog? Not that were just worried about the dog.

Lucy and I are battling on, thank you very much. The heel is still sore but there's no redness. I can't remember when i last had a tetanus shot, but I DO know if I get lockjaw the wife will be happy, it'll shut me up for a while.

BTW, the shower is STILL leaking through the wall!!!!
