Thanks Max, she was apparently NOS when I picked her up, have been thinking of giving her a blonde horn dress, but I'm not sure yet, I'm a little afraid of ruin the inlay.

That is a real beauty Rune!!!
Congratulations on a very fine acquisition

If that thing was mine, and the scales were intact, I would definitely keep the original scales on her, they are gorgeous!

Wowwww...Beautiful MK32 Rune. It's one of most pristine ones I have come across

BIG +1 on Birnando's comment. Keep it original. You won't be sorry

Saturday

Not a real shave. A pretend shave. I'm nurturing my six day beard that is only just now becoming noticeable. Just tackled a few stray hairs on my neck with the DE. I’ve actually considered lately only shaving on Sundays, like they used to. I reckon I could get away with it and foster a cool ‘metro’ style stubble. There's not much of the Musgo Real left. I’m waiting for a tube of Bigelow cream to come from America to try before I buy another Musgo, maybe I'll like the Bigelow more?

House cleaning today and maybe I’ll make some bread (I got an industrial baker’s bread tin off my brother) then off to sit in the hospital this evening with Bailey, my wife, all the kids and a single parent guy whose daughter is sharing a room with Bailey, we’ll sneak a couple of German beers in for me, my son and Raphael I think his name is... A rather odd New Year's Eve coming up...

Can’t wait to say goodbye to that absolute arsehole of a year 2011; good riddance and begone!

I hope everyone has a great new year, good health to you and your families!

Razor: An absolutely perfect piece of German engineering known as a Mühle R 89

Pre Shave: Proraso

Cream: Musgo Real

ASB: Witch Hazel (and a lot also for my sunburn )

After Shave: Pinaud Clubman and Burberry “The Beat” eau de toilette
