Thanks Robert.
Yes. The Tour de France passes close home when it comes to Andorra. You're invited...

Monday

Razor: Seehund 1015

Brush: Omega Boar 81052

Überlather: Culmak Soap, Mr Taylor's Cream & Glycerine

Post: Alum, Old Spice Whitewater

Result: A smooth, close, comfortable shave

Locale:The Dungeon of Dew, The Lair of Damp

Music: Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - So Far

prep: Hot shower / Goats Milk Soap / Virgin Olive Oil Rub

Strop: Star 3" Big Daddy Chestnut 25/50

Brush: Whipped Dog 22mm Pure Badger

Razor: 11/16 W&B "The Celebrated" in Maple

Post: Alum Block + Humphrey's Redness Reducing Witch Hazel

AS: Jock Soap Tall Drink Face Balm

EDT: Unknown Maker EDT called Blue Deep - Excellent Scent

Result:It was nice to shave with another razor my good friend Don restored for me. The TOBS straight out of the tub onto the face with this semi stiff pure badger and it went on just a touch dry, but it was pure silk. I did manage a cut and a nick, but was good in 2 passes. I love the Tall Drink and the Blue Deep has a very good evening scent that both I and the wife enjoy. It was a gift and neither the wife nor I can figure out the maker. It smells good so who cares!

Happy Shaves!!!!

Mike

I really enjoyed my last day before returning to the salt mines. So...

Mikael,

Thank you for the invitation. It's VERY tempting. I love a good cup of strong, deliciously brewed coffee.

You may very well see me ringing your doorbell one day.

I had to drive home from Sydney today after the get-together at Oz's place yesterday and so didn't get home until 3pm. The kids were waiting for me with the sweetest gifts and lots of hugs.
Being a Dad is such a beautiful thing.

Happy Belated Father's Day Grant!
Happy birthday to all the children, how cool that so many have birthdays so close.

Prep:Hot Shower, Sandalwood Pre-shave oil
Scuttle:Dirty Bird custom double
Brush:TGN 30mm TGN Premium A Silvertip in custom handle
Strop:SRD PIV English Bridle
Cream: Jubilee Bomb
Razor: 8/8 ¼ hollow French point Maxtom
After shave: Al's Shaving Jubilee ASB
EDT: NOIR


Result:I've had a habit lately of not shaving for a few days on the weekend and then having a luxurious shave to take off the multi-day growth. The tool for the job was the Maxtom. This was only my second shave with her and let me tell you, I LOVE THIS RAZOR! The Jubilee cream from Al is new and it has an amazing scent and the kind of performance that only the “bomb” can deliver. All and all, a spectacular shave!

Razor: Joe Chandler Damascus

Brush: Simpson Chubby 2

Uber: SRD Sweet Pathcouly and Bomb Boheme

Toner: Thayers Lavender

ASB: Bomb Boheme

EdP: Sigilli Claudiae

Result: A change of pace. Because I'm taking a friend to the airport very early, I had a nighttime shave. The software was absolutely top shelf and the hardware can't get any better. They combined to provide me with one of the best BBS shaves I've experienced so far. This is precisely why I started with straights 16 months ago!

Well done, I'm up to 12 years this time, I once stopped for 8 years and stupidly thought I could have just one cigarette when I was on holiday. It took 2 years before I was able to stop again.

Best days work you can ever do.
