Great three pass shave. Loving the Castle Forbes. However, I'm down to one razor now. Oh well, at least the razor is nice.

Busy day today, mowing lawns, mopping floors, washing, etc. Cindy (the wife) agrees that Carl is a Good Boy, which is a good thing.

Decided to shave in my bedroom before my daughter arrived to pick up Bailey, my grandson. The Klas Törnblom did a fine job even though the shave was rushed. A great razor, this, the first frameback I bought and the razor I have reserved for special Sunday shaves…

Bailey decided to join in, asking “Why are you listening to music (Jazz – Blue Mitchell) when you shave?” “Why are you drinking (Cooper’s Pale Ale) while you shave?”. “What is that (a strop)?” “Why is that a strop?” Bailey is in the “why" phase at the moment.

Bailey goes in to hospital tomorrow for his oncology tests and X-rays and bone surgeon appointment. It’s almost two years since he was diagnosed with bone cancer and it’s almost two years since I started hanging out here. We’re all a little nervous.

Let us all say a prayer tonight for all the little children; for all the little children…

Great picture and great stories as usual! Love reading your shave of the day whenever you post! God bless that little guy and best of luck!

Hot shower, Tabac, silver tip , webbing, latigo, 2 passes, warm rinse, Clubman.

Grandpa's old Electric always impresses me with its level of sharpness! Just a slight smile, and almost 100 years of patina. It's wonderful to have a classic that was well cared for its whole life.

A nice relaxing shave and all performed great. Have a great week Gents and Carl, all the best for your little fellow there!

It's been a long time. Happy shaving gentlemen.

Sunday
I wish you all a week of close comfortable shaves and personal successes!
Hot shower prep
Razor: Jernbolaget
Soap: RazoRock original
Mug: Face lathered
Brush: Re-knottod
Aftershock: none needed
Splash: Botanicals for Men

The Day? overcast and warming >9ºC. The Shave? A great shave with a razor restored by a friend. The razor had been well renewed and all that was left to me was a honing..or two! The second time to the stones repaid the workman. The blade is about 9/16ths and does not take a second place to any I have for cutting power or smoothness.. RazoRock did its thing with normal comfort. The re-knotted (black Badger) brush is breaking in well and becomes more of a Joy with each use.
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!
