The book in the picture is a German Easter classic, "Die Häschenschule", originally published in 1924. It describes a bunny's typical school day, which includes lessons on which plants are edible, how to paint Easter eggs, and what to do when you see a fox. There's an English version ("A Day at Bunny School") available, which I don't own, so here's my attempt to get the meaning of the above verses across:

Look into their eyes so bright
when they paint the eggs just right!
Every bunny's in a rush
to get their hands upon a brush,
and tint the eggs in every dye,
some green as kale, some blue as sky.
Among the Easter Bunnies shan't
be anyone who tries, but can't.

Cute book, I shall look it up :)

Soap - Valobra Menthol Croap
Brush - Yaqi Plissoft Barbershop
Razor - Old Type
Blade - Gillette Silver Blue
Post - Witch Hazel
Balm - Nivea Cooling
AS - Benjamin's Menthol Bay Rum

Superb match of blade and razor with the GSB in an Old Type and I'm really enjoying using the razor now I think I've got a better angle dialled in from the first few times I used the razor.

Have a great weekend chaps!

Cella aftershave

Beautiful morning shave. Got one white boxed platinum on trial. Not as sharp as dark blue boxed one nor smooth as new blue one. Somewhere in between of them. Mwf slick as always with great postshave. Cella aftershave to finish in style.

Today my cheap Ying Jili razor arrived. It felt a bit more agressive then my Fatip and Wilkinson razors but the shave was good.

DFS if I say so myself. Good fragrance from my superlather and astringent.
Nice easy 2 pass shave with a couple of stings under chin from Alum block, maybe a bit too confident? BBS skin though. A dollop of Chanel balm and a splash of Superdrug A/S
Have a great evening all(y);)
