    Wow, thirty years, that's a long time! Talking about not easy living with someone, my wife wrote on my birthday card "I obviously love you, you know how much you annoy me, and I'm still here, that's got to tell you something!"...

    Happy anniversary!

    Wednesday morning:



    L´Occitane Cadé SS
    Shavemac D01 2Band
    Peroux-Cognet 6/8
    Myrsol Agua Balsamica AS

    One of my first razor. Not a beauty straight but it shaves wonderfully. The company makes today the french folding knives "Douk-Douk".

    Have a nice day!

    Wow! Tell her to keep the gloves up! My wife and I often joke that we've got to stay together 'til we die, she's a Catholic and I'm too damn tired to train a replacement.

It was very sharp, but I think I need to go back and make it smooth...
