Thursday

Nice shave with the Burrell Top Flight ‘No. 1’ this morning. A single pass shave, no need at all for another pass. The Proraso was face lathered and D. R. Harris Bay Rum aftershave was the after shave of choice.

No tunes this morning, and no reading. Coffee was a shot of espresso with no milk or sugar. I’m trying for black coffees no sugar these days, but I’m not sure if I’ll be a convert. I ate no breakfast. Music to drive to work with was a mix again. Lunch was salad and a small slice of zucchini (courgette) slice. 42 degrees today but I didn’t use the air-conditioner in the office; I’m generally shunning air conditioning; I think it turns one into a woosey wooster…

Mood was very happy fading right at the end to hot and bothered for the 50k drive home…

Today a realy relax shave, al the time for myself, so i treat myself whit some hot creme brulee out of my SWK XL scuttle, my al time favorit razor wacker Jungmeister 15/16 and a nice silvertip brush. When the shave was done a nice splash of pinaut clubman bayrum.
Let the world come out to me
Have a nice day my friends.

Thanks for the welcome.

The diversity is the thing, actually, isn't it? And the coolness. The diversity AND coolness...

I woke up this morning feeling tired. I have a cold. As a matter of fact, 4 out of 5 family members, including my 8 month old son have a cold.
I felt nostalgia for summer!
I didn’t have time for a "shave of the day" pic, so I give you a picture from my summer holidays in the island of Kefalonia, Greece. This is Myrtos beach.

I gave the Dovo a few laps on the Norton 8K followed by the Naniwa 12k last night, and man what a sweet edge it took.
The Sandalwood soap was great too. It produced a beautiful lather and the smelled amazing. Thank you Rene

Thanks, Harry! That's a beautiful picture and certainly feels good on this freezing-cold day in London (in my town it was -7C last night!).

Καλημέρα σου μέρα!!

All the pics this week have been great. My thanks to you all for contributing to this awesome weekly thread!

Yes, we have more than 2500 islands, but only 165 of them are inhabited!
Following the movie "captain corelli's mandolin" which filmed in Kefalonia this spot has become popular destination. For the record, I didn't like the movie.

I heard on the radio about the cold in the UK. Two weeks ago we had some snow in Athens as well and sub zero tempertures. During cold weather, I really like applying methol based aftershaves like 444 balm and proraso!
