Thursday:

Late night shave (2300hrs) last night due to a horribly early (0400hrs) start this morning.

Penhaligons nickel / best brush
TOBS "shaving shop" cream
Merkur 34C HD
Gillette 7 o'clock yellow
Ogalalla bay rum lime and peppercorns

3 passes including ATG to try and keep a shaved appearance well into the next morning. Very smooth, and at 0930 I'm still looking presentable. Not sure how long that will last.

Today's Midsummer celebration day in Sweden and it's a big thing here, everyone (almost) has the day off and we sing and dance around a Midsummer pole (a lot of us, prob a majority of the population). The girls picks 7 different flowers and make a wreath of them and then they´ll put flowers under their pillow and the guy they dream about will become their husband.

... and a "flat white" (cappuccino with a double espresso):

 

[John]

Dove soap/Hot face cloth prep
Thin handle tec (Britsh)
Feather Blade
Razor Rock Soap/Cream
Kent BK2 Brush

BSS WTG

A verry Good Shave with the Razor Rock, But I have to watch out with it...
For me It lacks that safty cushion, so a close shave is on the cards.... I think I got away with it............. :icon_eek:

Friday

Soap: Nannys Ice and a Slice
Brush: Neep Jubilee
Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Gillette 7 o'clock sharpedge
Cologne: Penhaligons Juniper Sling

This is a very nice scent, and seems to compliment the Ice and a Slice nicely.

Howdeeeeee Mikey!

We got a little more aggressive way of doing things here in the US when it comes to women finding their husbands. You probably aren't familiar with Sadie Hawkins Day, celebrated on the first Saturday in November.

No sittin around hoping and dreaming.......these women take a more active role when snagging their 'Mr Right'.

Oh......those are some purty girls in your post. Are they your grand daughters?

Man, I used to love that comic, when young. I could have sworn you had mountain folks gens in your blood, it actually explains a lot. Yeah, well, Merry Midsummer day Mervin! ... and John - why do you think our girls stay!?

I love that razor.

Ian

Cheers Ian! It's a sweet blade ... and if you can spare a right arm and then wait for several months, you could also have one like it

You know Mikael in the old days I would have said "england is a lovely place to live"..... But now......it's a s**t hole nothing is sacred at all...I could say that the murder rate is low,but some one was murderd just up the road from us last night.
Some places are so bad that when they appear on the news they *posh up* the way it's said!

If a nice Swedish girl was foolish to dream of an English man,she should be dreaming of a council house,on a crap hole estate...no scratch that,its a nightmare..if any girls in Sweden wake up screaming tonight you'll know what she was dreaming about :icon_cry2:
