SATURDAY
Thank you all for a week of ideas, photos, and good will!
Hot shower prep
Razor: George Wostenholm <1890
Soap: Super-Max
Mug: cup
Brush: ebay ding and dent generic black badger
Splash: Avon Black Suede

The Day? Warm and windy with bright sunshine <21ºC. The shave? comfortable and smooth. New brush is a lather hog but well packed and sorta soft. Avon products get a bad rap but some are very good.
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!

Well, I got a nice gift from Australia and I want to say "thank you" to my Aussie mate Carl ... I think (I use it as a purse for coins). I really like the shape of this razor, totally non Swedish in it's design, but this maker used to like to make them not like other Swedish brands razors

AOS Silvertip
Trumper's Limes
Wostenholm & Sons frameback
Taylor of Old Bond Street Victorian Lime
Result: Obscenely smooth!!!

Managed to work in a relaxing and luxurious Saturday morning shave (and nick the lobe with the nose of the blade) in the midst of training our new charge: a 9-week old Shepherd pup we acquired a day and a half ago through fortuitous events.

Have a great Saturday!

Grapefruit ice

A old boar brush
Le Male after shave

Patiently waiting for the return of my daughter. Her flight was delayed for 2.5 hours in Zurich. Poor kid was stuck on the airplane and now has to endure another 9 hour flight time.
In honor of her return I made fresh Gnocchi in sausage/crushed tomato sauce so she can have a nice dinner when she gets home.
Hot shower, and a nice relaxing shave:
Warm Oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
Taylor of Old Bond Street Lemon Lime Shave cream
Custom badger brush in Macasser ebony body with a Lignum Vitae top cap by pixelfixed.
10/8 Wade and Butcher, Horn Scales, Brass wedge by RW
Roo Strop by Mic
Razorock Aluminum
Pinaud Bay Rum

What can I say except the WB is so heavy it glides right through the whiskers.

Enjoy the day.

I am sure she will appreciate that tremendously when she gets home!

No shave for me today. I went for a hike instead this morning and now my knee feels pretty crap. I'll rest it tomorrow and hopefully all will be well.
