Thread: Sun November 13th - Sat November 19th

My BB arrived yesterday. Afternoon shave but no time to post. I thought i would save it for today. Brian did and awesome job on this blade. She passed my test with flying colors 2 passes to a perfect BBS shave. The hardest test is ATG on my neck under my chin, Wiped them away without hesitation.

Good morning all!
After reading Obie’s interview with R.W. I thought it appropriate to use the Purist for my Sunday shave. This is a race car, very quick and maneuverable. I really enjoy the Aesop line from Down Under. It’s a little pricey but high quality. Ready for a new week.

Good Afternoon,

I have been away for a few days, took a trip to Nepal, spent time in Kathmandu and flew down to Chitwan National park for a couple of days.

I had as straight razor with me. It was interesting as I have my bathroom at home set up with everything I need at hand and places to put the razor down between passes for lathering etc. I was very happy with how the shaving went, particularly in Kathmandu where there was a single faucet sticking out of a wall (no sink) spitting out rust coloured (English spelling) cold water, a small hand held mirror wedged half behind a pipe and some very dim lighting. Added to this I was shaving around an elaborate attempt at "Movember".

Anyway, it was a pleasure to shave in my slightly more comfortable surroundings this morning.

Prep: Shower
Strop: SRD Premium 1 Leather 30,70
Brush: Kent Boar
Soap: Proraso
Razor: Wacker , 6/8" Spanish Point, Inox rescaled in olive Wood
AS: Old Spice, Lagoon

I've attached a couple of Pictures from a sightseeing flight to mount Everest.

Been a real pleasure catching up with your posts today.

Thank you. Yes I asked for the same style as an Ottoman. Since finding a real one will probably never happen.

BEAUTIFUL SHAVES GENTS

Lucky break with the weather Max...It was rainy and gloomy here. Love the SP cactus...The cutting you gave me is doing real well too.

BBS shave, wouldn't expect anything else from this razor and blade, two pass shave, ready for sunday lunch at the local golf club, I think roast pork with a nice piece of crackling will be todays choice on the menu.

Great setup and shave Jamie...But I must say, as good as it is, I think the rest of your day sounds a little more enticing. Enjoy your lunch/golf.

Came back with a Jnat and plenty of brochures on sanding and polishing machines - for that distant day if I ever retire

Nice shave Michael, but sounds like you did good at the knife show. Congrats. Will we be privy to see pictures of your JNats?

PS: Is that a stamped or unstamped Wapi?

Kalerolf,
Sorry to hear about your knee buddy, but it's good that modern medicine promises replaceable parts for everything these days. I wish you a very speedy recovery. An excellent shave (and beautiful Max schuckar). Keep us posted on your progress

Mr Nick Sr came for a visit today, nothing mayor, but def a bleeder and my daughter was demanding a ride to an indoor swimmingpool, through the bathroom door. Bleeding was so bad it dropped on the floor when I was reaching for paper ... I was going to have a nice long shave (face+head) on father day (here in Sweden) - when man makes plans, the devil laughes . Clean enough though

Mikael,
First and foremost: Happy father's day buddy. Second, sorry about that bleeder, but hey, s**t happens sometimes, right? Nice custom brush buddy. Well done on all fronts

Mikael,
He does that because he wants to see the gear bro, LOOOL. Beautiful cats (both of 'em)

EA,
Now, that is what I call a dream vacation. Glad to hear you got a decent shave in the process.

PS: Is that you next to the pilot?
