This is the story of my life. I'm a Software Engineer, and I'm finishing my CS degree part time.

I couldn't choose between the two pics, one taken by me, and the other taken by my wife. I'll let y'all decide...

I really love this theme Ray thanks..
It even made me make some monochrome pictures..

The bad thing is that I need to shave every day because I have too many hobbies..

Today I forgot to bring my shaving bowl to the bathroom as I used it to make photos yesterday so I made the lather on my face with my home made goldennib 22m silvertip brush.. I love it
I used the Crown that Bart honed for me.. and I tried to get the smoothest shave I could get.. I took the time to do it and I got a nickfree BBS shave..



Todays hobby is my first hobby ever.. electronics.. when I was nine I decided I wanted to do something with electronics when I grew up and so I decided to get my masters degree (no kidding). It took me some time to get there though but I did.. so now its more of a job than a hobby.

CMON HF 6/8 spike
HBS Pina Colada Shave Soap
Old Spice AS

Last week I had a Holy Grail week of shaving (at least for me)

The Rotation was as follows;

Zowada Damascus with pre ban ivory scales
Livi-Bergamo Damascus with mother of pearl scales
Livi-Silvano Damascus with mammoth ivory scales
Chandler-Pendray Wootz with green lip abalone scales

The brush, a Rooney Finest, was the same every day.

I alternated between Castle Forbes Lime cream and Straight Razor Designs Lime soap.

I used a Straight Razor Designs Premium strop

...that's all I have to say.

It's a GREAT bass!!

Aha, I thought it looked like there was an extra knob there!
