Just a quick shave today...

no stropping
Lather started to deteriorate, so added some MWF
Razor: Custom Damascus by GSSixgun
result: absolutely BBS. No trace of stubble in any direction. He said he had a nick, but it must of healed up before the shot























Look at that chin technique!

Hi Carl my thoughts are with you and Bailey during these difficult times, i would like to leave you with a beautiful Welsh lullaby for your brave Boy.

Jamie.

Huna blentyn ar fy mynwes Clyd a chynnes ydyw hon; Breichiau mam sy'n dynn amdanat, Cariad mam sy dan fy mron; Ni cha' dim amharu'th gyntun, Ni wna undyn â thi gam; Huna'n dawel, annwyl blentyn, Huna'n fwyn ar fron dy fam. Huna'n dawel, heno, huna, Huna'n fwyn, y tlws ei lun; Pam yr wyt yn awr yn gwenu, Gwenu'n dirion yn dy hun? Ai angylion fry sy'n gwenu, Arnat ti yn gwenu'n llon, Tithau'n gwenu'n ôl dan huno, Huno'n dawel ar fy mron? Paid ag ofni, dim ond deilen Gura, gura ar y ddôr; Paid ag ofni, ton fach unig Sua, sua ar lan y môr; Huna blentyn, nid oes yma Ddim i roddi iti fraw; Gwena'n dawel yn fy mynwes Ar yr engyl gwynion draw.


Sleep my baby, at my breast, ’Tis a mother’s arms round you. Make yourself a snug, warm nest. Feel my love forever new. Harm will not meet you in sleep, Hurt will always pass you by. Child beloved, always you’ll keep, In sleep gentle, mother’s breast nigh. Sleep in peace tonight, sleep, O sleep gently, what a sight. A smile I see in slumber deep, What visions make your face bright? Are the angels above smiling, At you in your peaceful rest? Are you beaming back while in Peaceful slumber on mother’s breast? Do not fear the sound, it’s a breeze Brushing leaves against the door. Do not dread the murmuring seas, Lonely waves washing the shore. Sleep child mine, there’s nothing here, While in slumber at my breast, Angels smiling, have no fear, Holy angels guard your rest.

Wednesday

I did manage to give the De Pews just five laps on the Shapton 16k last night and it’s amazing to me that the five laps did indeed seem to me to make a discernible difference. Maybe it’s just me, but it seemed to improve. I wonder what the limit is, i.e. five laps, shave, five laps, shave (from one day to the next), where’s the limit, or does it just keep getting better and better until I swoon mid-shave due to pleasure?

The Mme Scodiloi ‘Boheme’ soap matched with the Mme Scodioli ‘Step Right Up’ after shave is an excellent choice.

Thanks for the comments about Bailey; seems his results are due tomorrow, not today. No news is good news, I guess. I’m so lucky to live in a country where the health care is so good; the Women’s and Children’s hospital in Adelaide; just 50 or so Ks away is reportedly the best in the Southern Hemisphere.

PS, do you like my cufflinks?

PPS, be good, be healthy be happy, my friends.

Carl

Bailey's braveness makes me feel like a wimp...

Here's Bailey 'in uniform' and out of uniform...

Hey, Parker, don't worry about, it's what we Australians call 'sledging'...

That's funny Grant, I did the same thing!

Wednesday

TI Foroafeitado | Rover | MdC | Sabon ASB | D'Orsay Arome 3

The day is starting out in the most calming and serene way with all this lavender. The Rosewood scaled TI is a great little shaver. And the combination of the earthy MdC lavender with the lavender and chypre D'Orsay has put my mind and body at ease. I can't think of a better way to prepare for court!

Best of luck to Bailey today
