Snow! Shouldn't you be coming in to Spring?

Cheers Carl! I hope you survived yesterdays b-day party! No, I don't think they did that, top of the line blade though and in my mind the peek of Solingen razors (together with a couple of other brands).

Yes, we really should have spring by now and we had it a couple of days ago . Yesterday you couldn't see these guys, but today the sun's working wonders and it looks like this in our backyard now (all the snow was gone three to four weeks ago and I thought it was over for this time, but now we have lots of snow behind our house again ):

Razor – Mappin 7 day set
Brush – Simpson Chubby#2
Soap – Al Raz - Saigon
Ast – ALUM
AS – D.R. Harris Sandalwood

Good day one and all,

A Mappin 7 day set will make this week’s razor choice easy. These wedge blades have a “Trustworthy” double smile. This immaculate set that must have sat un-used in a drawer for a long time. I feel fortunate to get to use these razors. The D.R. Harris Sandalwood AS was recommended in another SOTD thread by a fellow member. I had to try it and am quite pleased with the subtle scent and performance. Have a great week fellas.

That's a cool photo! It must be amazing to see bulbs come through the snow like that! here in Australia we actually put our bulbs in the fridge (refrigerator) for a few weeks before we plant them to simulate the temperature change. We also have to dig some types up in early summer otherwise they cook in the soil.
