I wish health and happiness to you and your family, and to all my mates here..now to the Norton to get started on this "JaNorton 2012" thing...

Praying that all goes well for Bailey during his last treatment and operation.

May the New year bring you, Bailey and your entire family health and happiness.

Prep: hot shower and lingering lather
Brush: Rooney Silvertip
Soap: Fitjar Såpekokeri Lighthouse Bay Rum
Razor: ERN 1166 Crown and Sword
Post: Razorock Alum, Thayers and a good splash of Dominican Bay Rum

Well back from visiting relations (I'd call it a vacation but...) an overall good trip minus hours in airports and too much down time.

I took the time for a post skate ski pre company New Years shave and since I do not plan on needing the passport for a while the handlebars were sacrificed to the blade and in two strokes the upper lip was uncovered again.

Have a safe and enjoyable end to 2011 gent's "see" you all next year!

(yup it's a repeat but companies a comin' and drinks need mixin')

Prep: Hot shower
Razor: Clauss 6/8 round. One of my first straights, purchased on eBay. One of my first self-honed; very proud of the results.
Stop: 20 laps linen; 50 leather
Soap: Bigelowe (Proraso)
Brush: Badger
Post: cold water splash, followed by Lucky Tiger menthol balm and Bigelowe a/s.

DFS!! That Clauss is such a satisfying shaver!

Happy new year, friends! Cheers!
