S.O.T.D. w/c Saturday 7th - Friday 13th December 2013, incl.


It's good to be back Martin!!! I've managed to escape from Sweden,I went there on Holliday for a week,but had the misfortune of bumping into Benny Andersson!!!!! Made the classic mistake of agreeing to a "sauna party" dam those Swedish blond girls!!! suicide is the last thing on there minds if you get my meaning.

I did drop by mickeys house, but heard a scraping noise from his window.......like steel being rubbed violently on a honing stone and the words "Dessa för dig marty pojke Han Han Han..... Scape fönster med det, ditt svin" he sounded angry, so I left it.

I'm still having therapy to forget those crimes of yours.....arko ski masks.........melting eyes,........shudder....... MEDIC :s

Nice BBS shave and only one tiny nick on chin. I wasn't sure about the Digress as its a beast of a razor but today love blossomed

Then chicken pizza and a large glass of James Beam to finish.
 
Hot shower & 3P
Omega 98
MWF
ikon 101 shave craft with 1 shim

Got the MWF spot on today nice pleasant shave but even with a shim this 101 head is too mild for me. I think it will join the pile for a new year BST clear out.

I've gave up on my straight for now as I just can't get it going, so used the shavette to get used to using my left hand without having to worry about anything else. No problems with that, once i can get a full shave with the shavette i will go back to my straight. Rest of the shave as usual with my R41 = DFS.

What a damn good shave, bowl lathered, BBS and smelling great.
 
No departure from what has become my standard shave:

Ever Ready 1912, Gem blade, NF brush, T&H No. 10 cream.
Single pass plus touchups.
Some aftershave branded after a famous footie baller. Quite nice actually.
