Beautiful day to be out and do some climbing to a peak. So, a good clean shave this morning and I am ready for some beautiful winter sunshine and spend the day with my family. I wish you all a good week.

Off to Bristol for a nice meal and a show at the Hippodrome (Oliver). Three pass shave. Close but not as comfortable as I would have liked. This has only ever happened with the La Toja stick .....and never at home....so I am blaming it on water hardness.

A fine shave. The Wusthof is keeping up well and the Palmolive creme never ceases to amaze me. By far the cheapest creme in the den and performing in the top five.
The artistic SOTD pic was an idea from my oldest daughter.
