Something I thought I'd share...


This is a really bad photograph of a watercolor that hangs above my desk @ work. I think you'll recognize the scenery from Brother Amund's trip to New Zealand this past spring. Just a little reminder to me to never take anything for granted and just live it...everyday. Have a Great Night Gentlemen!

Warm Shower Stephan's Rubbed into the beard
Warm Oil
Cella Shave Cream, Glycerin
Dirty Bird Scuttle
Custom Badger Brush
Carl Monkhouse 5/8 full Hollow
SRDP1 100 Laps
AOS Aluminum
Pinaud Bay Rum
Vaseline for Men

I've never been happy with the Cella Shave cream lather. Today was no different as it just does not get very thick. It does ok, but not like the others I use. The Monkhouse was nice and smooth. Took off the days growth with no problem.

Enjoy the day.

Congrats on the birth of your Daughter.

I'm sleeping home alone to-night because they're still at the hospital. I think it'll likely be my last good night's sleep for a long time to come.

Enjoy the good nights sleep, you'll need it.

My Dad taught me this: " A son is a son until he takes a wife, a daughter is a daughter for the rest of your life."

Great news!! Congrats again.

Astringent none

After Shave Splash:My own Bay Rum

Cologne: Woods by Abercrombie & Fitch

Results: Excellent shave by the 1000! I picked this razor up from a lady in Scotland through Etsy.com. I paid $40 for it and it looks to me like the razor has seen very little, if any, use. I didn't really like the AOS Lemon preshave oil. Compared to others it felt sticky and hard to rub in. I much prefer Floid Sandalor or the Shave Secret Oil. No irritation and I'm ready to face the day!

I love the Taylor 1K. Nice setup.

Yep, it was mainly Greek Islands, followed by Athens and then finally Cyprus. It feels very cold now in England by comparison!!
Trip was great. 3 weeks is just what the doctor ordered and long overdue. Still hard getting back to the working habbit!
Man, some of these beaches were just top class. It's hard to beat the Med in my opinion. Wouldn't change it for anything. Just wish I could be there now! Check out the blue waters below - often you could see small fish right by your feet.
