I was felling a bit under the weather yesterday so I missed my traditional Sunday night shave.
To make up for it I decided to treat myself tonight.
I haven't done a Tabac Uber for a long time, and it was amazing, the W&B never dissapoints.
A fantastic 3 pass BBS

Thanks for the great posts and pics fellas, some beautiful hardware on display already this week.

I really enjoy your posts and have been meaning to mention it for a long time.

I know nothing about Wordsworth, and little about literature in general, but your comments brought a big smile to my face

What a day!

Damn life can be good sometimes.

Sounds like a great day, and a beautiful photo to go with it.

Not much to shave, just a quick touch up after a late afternoon shave yesterday. Amazingly, I managed to get all my papers in on time and it seems like at least for this week, I've survived. Time to get back to work and get some rest
