Robert, Thank you for the compliment! Photography compliments coming from you mean a lot to me.

The statuettes are certainly Peruvian and yes, they are mainly seen in the south of Peru. So, yes....from the Cuzco area. They symbolize health and unity in marriage and are typically given as a gift when two people get married.

I thought so...Very nice my friend. May you both live in unity (translation: you agree to everything she says, LOL) and health

Another Hamburg Ring today. Very nicely done Ben.

Beautiful Wostenholm my friend. So, you're also a big fan of ice hockey, eh? Great sport

Pretty little blade Mikael.

PS: Canada/Sweden will be interesting, but don't discount Russia/US/Czech/Finland.

I love the smell of Mama Bear's Ye Olde Barbershoppe in the morning.

Glenn,
Hopefully this one took a little more than 10 min, LOL? Great shave. Have a productive and great day buddy

Beautiful Rene...I love seeing those pesky little things (i.e., phantom hairs) disappear with one swoop move

Tom,
You are da man, man. Here's a "Preliminary" cheers to you Otto

@Robert,
it is the World Championship for the youngsters (up to 18 years old). Next year they play in the leaques in USA and Canada.
We got a invitation from the Consulate General of the United States of Amerika (located in Leipzig).
The competitions are nearby... Crimmitschau 10 miles, Dresden 70 miles.
So Anett and I will visit a match in Crimmitschau. I think we'll see the match between USA and Slovakia or between USA and Russia.
And we take our stars and stripes with us!

Ohhh.. I thought you guys were talking about the IIHF. My bad. Enjoy the matches. Any of them is bound to be good. Kids these days are amazing at sports.

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 26mm Saville Row 3326 Silvertip Badger

Razor: 13/16" Maher & Grosh "Famous Toledo Blade, Extra Hard", 1/4 Hollow Ground, Barber's Notch (Burgundy Linen Micarta - Max restore)

Strop: 50/65 (Neil Miller linen/Premium IV leather)

Überlather: Cyril Salter "Wild Rose" Shave Creme + G.F. Trumper's "Rose" Shave Soap + Glycerin

Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Proraso AS

After Shave Creme: Sabon After Shave Creme

Results: I love this Maher & Grosh Maxterpiece . She is one smooth shaver. And the überlather was as amazing as one could wish for. I have become quite a BIG fan of Cyril Salter SC and the scent of its Wild Rose is exceptional. Throw in some of Trumper's Rose, and this lather explodes in the scuttle (even the Double sized one), emanating a sensual rose scent that is reminiscent of the best garden's I have had the pleasure of visiting. Exceptionally smooth shave to start this Wednesday morning. Wife and I have our dental/optometrist appointments today (yeepie kayeh ...NOT).

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


Have a TERRIFIC Wednesday gentlemen.

Prep:Hot Shower
Brush:TGN 20mm Silvertip Custom in Emerald Swirl
Strop:SRD PI Paddle Strop
Cream:SRD Opus X
Razor: Dovo “Best Quality”
After shave: Pinaud Clubman, Alum, & Nivia
EDT: Drakar Noir


Result: I had my shave very early this morning and am just now getting to post. 2 passes lead to a DFS before heading into the office for a 14 hour day. I'm back at the hotel and got my bags all packed. I'm looking forward to a relaxing shave when I get home tomorrow!

Hopefully nothing sinister, he is being a very brave man. So thats where we are, I've just ducked home for some clean clothes and have to get back there. No internet access at the hospital so I'll catch up with all the great SOTD posts in a day or 2 hopefully when we get out.
Take care gentlemen, give your kids an extra hug tonight.
Grant

Y'all are in my thoughts and prayers Grant. I pray little Jack gets well soon.
