    Default Sunday morning!

    Another beautiful morning in Norway.

    Today I used the Devin Thomas custom. It is a rather unique piece, with fossilized Mammoth bone scales and a feather patterned Damascus steel.
    The Thäter paired with the Xpec made for superb lather.
    To top it all off I added some Xpec ASB and Cologne afterwards. A perfect shave in my book.

    None for me today as I'm feeling a bit sick. not sure if allergies or a cold but it sucks either way. Nice long hot shower mon morning and a shave will be nice.

    A bit of a cheat, here. This was yesterday's afternoon shave in preparation for a formal event for "Sweet Sixteen" celebrating the sophmore girls at my daughter's school. A full prep was needed, so I called on the Swedes. Eric Anton Berg provided a sweep of a 3 day growth and it's smaller, smiling cousin, the Ran-tan-Ka-rus accomplished up-close trimming and detail. Razorock limited, Thater, and Stetson filled in a super nice grooming, even for me! The purple tux accessories matched my daughter's dress perfectly for the Father and Daughter dance!
    They grow up so soon!
    Have a super week, Guys!

    Sweet 16, I remember mine very well. They do grow up way too fast. Enjoy her while you can.
