Picked up this Grooming oil this past week, and I have to say I'm fairly impressed, my skin feels awesome - and my head and face isn't oily at the end of the day imagine that using oil to prevent oil......

Monday morning can be nice if you have the day off and the sun is shining like it is in Moss, Norway today!

My shave today was spent together with a double espresso straight from my Rancilio Silvia and Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, rather crazy shaving music!

Stropped the Thiers-Issard 7/8 on a Scrupleworks leather strop, tasted the espresso while listening to a crescendo in the music, then prepared my face for the knife with hot water and Nyasha black preshave soap. Had a Fitjarsoap shave today with the new Ice Rose shaving cream. What a fantastic, natural rose scent, just wow. The Simpson Chubby 3 made the finest lather in a minute, enough for ten passes plus, lol. Living in a city called Moss I had to use my Moss scuttle today, and it kept the huge Simpson and the Ice Rose lather perfectly warm during the long shave.

3 passes later my face felt the way I want it to feel, a baby butt is sticky in comparison... It was scary to shave with Stravinsky in the room, BOOM, a huge cut can be the result if you don't know the music, or like Stravinskys mother called it, crap, after the premiere 1913 in Paris.

Finished with a wonderful aftershave cream, Fitjarsoap Wild Thing, with a smell of the Norwegian forest.

Have a great week everybody!

And so begins the last week of the semester. I'll have a nice long break once I get this week's stuff knocked out. To say that I'm ready for it would be an understatement. I'm near tired of being tired. It will be nice to be a gentleman of leisure for a month or so.
