I swim and ride my bike while I wait for my foot to heal enough to be able to run again. I'm told that might not happen, but I stay optimistic until proven otherwise:)

I've gone a bit L'Occitane crazy but hey who can blame me?
Pre-Shave: Hot shower and L'occitane face wash Brush: Simpson Chubby 1 Razor: Wacker Antik 15/16 Honing Regimen: John Crowley @ Shaving shop Strop: 30/60 SRD Webbing/Red Latigo Soap: Bali Shaving stick After shave: Mennen Results: A memorial lane shave today, got this NOS Bali stick in the mail today, which is the same soap one of my grandfathers used. It's been out of production since 1979, so there was not much scent left, but thanks to the plastic wrapping there was still a hint of the scent I remembered. To my surprise it buildt a very nice and slick lather which gave a wonderful shave, taking my time and letting the scent take me 30 years back in time. The Wacker gave a fantastic shave, no sign of the slight roughness I felt yesterday. Finished of with Mennen aftershave, which was the AS my other grandfather used as long as I can remember. A perfect shave in every possible way, bringing out some nice memories of both my late grandfathers.

I finished most of the blade polishing last nite and now I'm rough designing some kingwood scales making twin versions of W&B Wedge's.Attachment 74429Attachment 74430

-This was my very first razor, my wife got it from her beloved uncle. For some reason I never used it before today. The vibrating was interesting but added nothing to the shave. It was a very smooth shave. It looks like a Tech but shaves more like an EJ 89. Fine Fine shave. Nice to use a razor with known history.
