Last May was 150 years of the Fussen Fire Brigade, they're about to start a parade to commemorate it in this shot.
I was staying in Schwangau for a few days to visit the Neuschwanstein Castle.
The parade was excellent, many old fire fighting vehicles and brass bands.
A little hard to see in this photo, but that is a horse drawn Fire Carriage with manual hand pumps.

This is a terrible photo i took with my mobile phone and doesn't show anywhere near the amount of people involved in the parade.

Fantastic shave, all over, but this one goes to Rod Neep - This brush can actually measure against my best Simpsons brushes, for me (all Rods brushes I've got are _very_ good, but my Polo and Chubbies has been in a league of their own, until now). The loft and knot (density, flow throw, backbone, softness of tips, size - I think it's 26 mm extra stuffed silvertip set a little lower than normal makes it perfect for me) combined with the wonderful handle just "does" it for me - Cheers Rod, much appreciated!!

That brush looks fantastic Mikeal, I've not seen a brush i liked for some time, but that looks great.

I WANT!

With a beautiful sunny day, refreshing shave!

First time I had to take time off from work for illness in 10 years...spent the last 2 days in bed. Hope it will be another 10 years...lol. Nothing like a good shave to make you feel better though. 3 passes and I think I will go for a walk with the 'Queen'.

Have a Great Saturday Gents!
