DC is a wonderful place to visit. I have not been there in about 18 months. Things just seem to be getting in the way and I don't find work bringing me there as often anymore.

Very nice pics Bill!

No shave for me either today (got a fever and a funny, well maybe not funny, but bad tummy) and I had taken a picture and picked out a NOS razor yesterday for my lazy Sunday shave (been looking for one of these for a long time now and finally found it, in Japan (of all places), but no shave today ... to be continued

Tease! I can't believe you taunt us with a story of an NOS razor and then leave us hanging about what kind...

Ouuuch Mikael,
Feel better bro...It's not fun being KO'ed. I've been sporting a very nasty ear ache from an infection for the past week, which is slowly going away (naturally).

It doesn't happen often but once in a a while I have to leave the house on Saturday night for a, what's going to be, very late party.

Only if "Partying" was an Olympic event, you Belgians would be untouchable . Beautiful razor Max...I have never been a fan of acrylic, but your work is just amazing . You even manage to bring the best out of "plastic"

You always do Jeff...You always do

Today the temperature is too high in my garden (more than 40° celcius)


Tow razors, a "7 Guionin Ainé" from Thiers (in the old time all the cutlers of Thiers had a number that was registred on a silver table: 69 Thiers Issard, 32 Dumas...)





"A votre tour Messieurs les Anglais" :



GRIEBEL, 147 walworth road (a big fat baby wedge), I don't know much about this one, expect that the adress is in London, and that the place was destroyed during the German Blitz of 1940, it must be the adress of a receller that bought his stuff to a manufacturer of Sheffield.

Anyway, a great shave again !

Today's weapons. Bomb Goodfellow,Custom Silvertip,Pollart Solingen 5/8. A.s.Nature. And just to finish. A real nice icecream.
A nice day friends
