Handguns are illegal over here, rifles can be owned under special licence, but I must say I would own and carry a handgun in a heartbeat.

I'll add my deer pistol to the mix. Stainless on stainless.

I thought I'd rejoin the SOTD's this week:

Hot Shower
Vintage Mug (B-day gift from JoeD and CarrieM)
Semogue 730 Silvertip
KD Creations (New) Oakmoss Uberlather
Historic Flying Tudor Rose 5/8 Blond Horn (oddly enough, the scales are actually bone)
Niveia ES AS Balm (not pictured)

My "regular" lighter - a Japanese Colibri Duo. I really like the old flint rollers.

Gentlemen's Oak & Moss Soap
5/8 Torrey razor
Ogallala after shave
Nikon 67mm lens cap

Razor: Simmons Barbers Pet / Brush EDJ / C&E Sandalwood / ASBTSD Sandalwood.

My other hobby: keeping a coral reef for 6 years, this one of a few I have.

You guys are great. Thanks for posting all the great photos and sharing your hobbies. It's great to see the broad range of talents that this community has, and everyone's diverse interests apart from shaving.

I have more hobbies than I have time for these days - Rock climbing, cycling, surfing, snow skiing, photography, blah, blah, blah... But after reading tat2Ralfy's comment about our UK brethren not being able to own or carry a handgun, I thought I would post a couple of photos of my favorite hobby. More often than not, we Americans forget that we have one of the greatest privileges granted us by God and the 2nd amendment to the US Constitution - the right to keep and bear arms. With that in mind, I humbly submit my contribution to today's SOTD:

Razor: 7/8 Henckels Friodur Inox no stain
Brush: Mediocre Col Conk pure badger
Soap: Mitchell's wool fat
Aftershave: Proraso menthol

The auto is my daily carry gun - A .45 Colt Lightweight Commander with a 4 1/4" barrel, alloy frame, custom beavertail grip safety, ambidextrous extended slide safety, and snakeskin mainspring housing.

The revolver is my 1969 6-inch Smith & Wesson Model 28 Highway Patrolman .357 magnum with original magna grips. This was a sweet find at a gun show a while back.

Enjoy!

Larry

That is sad, I didn't know this was the law in the UK. It reminds me of a slogan that I read a long time ago: "when guns are outlawed; only outlaws will have guns"
