******************************

During the dinner with our American friends our Lord Mayor told me, he will go the organ-concert today. It will start 11.15 p.m. in the Lutheran church.
I answered him, we come too.
The concerts with our Silbermann-Organ are always beautiful.

I think I posted already this picture.

Have fun this evening and think about some minutes, that our soldiers all over the world are still on duty!
Support our troops!

First let me appologize for my absence for the last several days. I came down with a very nasty stomach bug on Tuesday night and spent all day Wednesday in Bed, went to work on Thursday unshaven and still feeling horrible. Today I'm feeling much better and am so happy to be back with my SOTD brothers!
We had tornados and severe storms blow through this morning, so it has been an interesting start to the day. On with the shave:

Yesterday:

Today:

Crookes 13/16 // Semogue LE 10 // Martin De Candre // Knize 10




Finally got my hands on an MK 32 in genuine ivory and man it takes a great edge! One of my new favorites. Going to shave with this Crookes I picked up on SRP classifieds this evening that got some new scales yesterday. I went with multi-colored horn with an aluminum lined micarta wedge for a little more modern look. Really can't wait to see how this bad boy shave!
