Yeah I had a squeaky door hinge too. :-)

Hey rockabilly,

I like this, I think it looks like a workhorse, that has been around doing what it does- shaving. A tool with purpose for its purpose.

Thank you! I too like my Mastro Livi kamisori. It is a wonderful shaver!

Good morning Gentlemen,

-La toja Shaving soap
-Truetfitt & Hill 1805 After Shave Lotion

A special day for me, it is my 39th birthday!
I celebrated the day with my new Heljestrand razor. What a fantastic razor it is! From now on, I would say that there are two categories of straight razors: the straight razors and the Heljestrand!

Happy Birthday, Harry!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag!

39. Oh to be just 39 again...

Happy Quokka Birthday...

I do realise this says 'you are birthday' (misplaced apostrophe) but I was pushed a bit to find another Australian animal to say happy birthday with. We've done 'Kangaroo birthday', 'Wallaby birthday' 'Emu birthday' even 'Platypus birthday' There's a limit. So I asked Joel, my son, "name an Australian animal" I said, looking up from the laptop and (strangely) he said "quokka". You'd be surprised at how few relevant pictures come up when one Googles 'quokka birthday' in Google images. Really.

Friday

Razor | J A Hellberg | Cream | Musgo Real Orange Amber | After Shave | Blue Stratos

A very nice shave this morning, if a little early. Lucy, the Dalmatian I share my bed with, said she wanted to get up at 0605 rather than 0630 even though she’d got up at 0130 as normal. There is no point at all in arguing with Lucy. You can tell her to SHUT the F up but you lie there knowing that in about thirty seconds she’ll do that little apologetic squeaking thing again and you won’t get ANY more sleep.

Don’t you hate waking up with only half and hour or so to go? If you wake at, say, one, it’s like “Bonus!" Another five and a half hours to go!” And you feel like giving yourself a high five. When you wake (for some unknown reason) at six, when you’re ‘supposed ‘to wake at six thirty, you feel depressed. “What’s the point” you think. “Another thirty minutes. Wow”. As you can probably tell, I like sleeping. Always have.

Anyway, the shave was very nice and close, ‘Blue Stratos’ is the cheapest of the cheap, but it’s not all that bad, really…
