Perfect start to my day, two pass shave BBS.

Wild sow in mud...



We were in the Teutoburg Forest...
You know this is the place, where Germanic tribes killed a Roman Legion "some" years ago...
The Battle of Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD occurred in or near this region, though the exact location is disputed. The Roman historian Gaius Cornelius Tacitus identified the location of the battle as saltus Teutoburgiensis (saltus meaning a forest valley in Latin), and the encounter was therefore called the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. Recent excavations suggest that at least the final stages of the battle took place farther northwest, at Kalkriese, north of Osnabrück

Yesterday's shave that I didn't post 'cause the site was down :-(

Sunday

It really is a magical day here today. The bird song and the business of spring is almost annoying. This morning I slept late, then, on arising, bathed, took fresh hand ground coffee freshly brewed and took a walk to the top of Mount Torrens with the hound.
On returning, I again bathed, gave myself a haircut, cleaned and tidied my room; washed my sheets. I then retired to the garden after drinking two cups of Pu-erh tea and a cup of fruit melange tea mixed half and half with silver needle and Jasmine flower tea. I read ‘The Book Thief’ whilst drinking Carlsberg and watching the bees, the chickens, the cows and the sky.
Mid afternoon I shaved in my room with a pitcher of hot water drawn from the kitchen tap, ‘Boheme’ soap by Madame Scodioloi and a fine Swedish razor.

As I shaved the sounds of The Brian Jonestown Massacre’s ‘Strung Out In Heaven’ filled the room. The warm breeze blew the curtains…

Hey moonbeam! I missed you! Really good to see you back! :-)

Your friend Carl...

No special soap, no brush, just a soak in some warm water, and a layer of moisturizing cream, and a single pass with my newly resurrected zombie Puma 6/8
