Luther-house Eisenach



With our friends from Lynchburg, VA



Inside the Wartburg



The Wartburg, Eisenach, Thuringia



here Martin Luther translated The Bible into German language

Prep: Hot Shower
Pre-shave: Proraso Pre/Post Shave
Soap: Proraso Green
Brush: Panchetta 30 mm silver-tip
Scuttle: SWK XL
Razor: W&B "Fine India Steel" -- c.a. 1850 smiling blade ("Maxterpiece")
Post-shave: Dickenson's Witch Hazel

I LOVE this vintage W&B beautifully restored by Max Sprecher. It has a subtle smiling blade and is a real pleasure to use. I needed a little "pick me up" this early and the combo of the Proraso and the W&B did the trick!

Have a great week everyone.

Tuesday

I woke this morning exhausted, the sheets soaked in sweat. This Urinary Tract Infection is a disaster. On entering the bathroom and removing my damp singlet I noticed a rash over my entire body. What a happy holiday in Spring I’m having. I’m in a completely foul mood, so all I’ll say is at least a great shave brightened my mood a little. Being sick is supposed to be like that alluded to in this excerpt from Jarome K Jarome’s ‘Ide Thoughts From an Idle Fellow’:

…I pictured to myself a glorious time--a four weeks' dolce far niente with a dash of illness in it. Not too much illness, but just illness enough--just sufficient to give it the flavor of suffering and make it poetical. I should get up late, sip chocolate, and have my breakfast in slippers and a dressing-gown. I should lie out in the garden in a hammock and read sentimental novels with a melancholy ending, until the books should fall from my listless hand, and I should recline there, dreamily gazing into the deep blue of the firmament, watching the fleecy clouds floating like white-sailed ships across its depths, and listening to the joyous song of the birds and the low rustling of the trees. Or, on becoming too weak to go out of doors, I should sit propped up with pillows at the open window of the ground-floor front, and look wasted and interesting, so that all the pretty girls would sigh as they passed by…


Razor: Klas Törnblom| Soap: Crabtree and Evelyn Nomad | After Shave: D. H. Harris Bay Rum | Hair Tonic: Pashana Bay Rum

Hi Tom, that's really interesting stuff about the castle. I had to Google what a 'Wartburg' was. What a great place!
