Just some of the madness that is New Year's Eve in Alexanderplatz, Berlin -

This is about 20 seconds, it lasted in total over two hours in a similar vein. Fireworks are legal, everyone has them, setting them off in the streets pretty much anywhere seems perfectly acceptable. All you could see out our hotel window for two hours from when we were woken up by it at 11pm was fireworks.

Arrived in Amsterdam late yesterday. Staying at the same place I did last year, asked for the same room as I love the view -

At night it is just as nice!

In other news, I heard from my brother in Perth who have been house-sitting our place and pets in Canberra have been really struggling with the smoke - despite telling me that everything has been fine! So alternative arrangements made early morning here/evening there and they are now leaving to go back to Queensland where they can breath - that was certainly an adventure, but nothing compared to what some people have been experiencing.

Last night, sort of as we fly out at 10pm, in Europe. Visited Antwerp yesterday and Haarlem today, Haarlem is a great little town on the outskirts of Amsterdam -

We started the day at the Corrie Ten Boom House, think Anne Frank House but far less commercial -

Ended at the Molen de Adriaan, a reconstructed version of the windmill on the sire destroyed by fire in 1932 -

Tonight, for me at least as I think that the family will play it safe, is pheasant (Roasted Pheasant (1/2) and confit leg with honey sauce, truffle sauerkraut, Alkmaar barley with truffle) at the restaurant where I had the horse meet stew last time I was in Amsterdam, Greetje.

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Rooney 1/3 Super Silvertip Badger
Cream: TOBS Sandalwood
Razor: Merkur Mergress (2.5)
Blade: NOS Gillette Super Silver (4)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel; Pinaud Clubman Aftershave Splash

TOBS Sandalwood isn't the slickest, but is easy and fast to lather, provides servicable performance, and has a delightful scent. Refined, old school, but not dated.
Three passes for a DFS+ result, and a very nice postshave.
I was wondering if the tactic of putting Pinaud Clubman into a glass bottle to improve the scent was a load of bollocks. But..... I am impressed! I have some left over in the plastic, and doing the A-B comparison, I can clearly tell the difference. The glass version smells better.
