I used to play the game consoles a lot a few years back, until the week in March 2010 when my 4th child was born and Jack was diagnosed with A.L.L. I haven't touched it since.
Until a few weeks ago, I've really been enjoying getting back into it a little.
I dont have heaps of spare time for it and it usually means missing out on some sleep time to play, but its awesome fun to squeeze in an hour here and there.

A great Sunday night shave. A++
Looking forward to the SOTD week ahead.

Target shooting has been my favorite hobby since I was a young boy.
Last Saturday I got to spend the whole day on the range, and even got a sunburn.
Later in the week, when I was shooting, it was snowing.

Notes: Lovely 2-pass shave today, the splash is new and I'm thrilled. Here photographed on my Weissenborn acoustic lap guitar. In the picture is also the tone bar, used to play this type of guitars. I own several guitars, and several lap guitars as well, including an old electric Harmony from the late 1940-ies and a self buildt electric lap guitar, a Taylor traveller and a Furch acoustic. Oh, and my trusted steel body resonator. I love sitting on my porch on a summers night and play a little blues.



I love this theme, what a great way to introduce ourselves and showcast a new side to ourselves. Good fun, and great pics.

Have a wonderful week Gentlemen!

Good day gentlemen.. A super smooth shave and you can never go wrong with Tabac. I’ve been testing out my new/old WOA or Ayrshire Scotch hone stone. That's my hobby. Learning as much as I can. Jimmy's evaluation was correct. Have a nice week.

This was the first shave for this F.A. Klein 6/8 since it was honed last week. It is posing with the faithful companion of my shooting hobby.

This DFS was made possible by Mama Bear's Canadian Spruce soap coaxed to a lather using a cheap Conk brush with Dickinson's Witch Hazel followed by Stephans Lilac at the finish.

Great photos gentlemen!
