Wow! That's a lot of work.

168 hours in the week, less the 40 at work, less the 50 reading that thin textbook..

Time waits for no man and very few women!

Hmmm, lets see...

50 hours in office or thereabouts
50 hours on study
21 hours with family (3 hours per day)
7 hours showering, shaving, eating etc
35 hours sleeping (5 hours per night)
5 hours free time

Yep, that seems about right ...

(it is a Masters level course)

What you spend more time sleeping than shaving? Hmm only just.

My high school motto was 'effort earns success' or in this case.. A Gillette museum :- ) you deserve it, well done

Just received this yesterday. A Gillette Super Adjustable of my birth year and quarter. Took me an age to find this one.The black has faded a little on the handle. Haven't started cleaning it yet, but it works well (as it should for the $$$ I paid for it.)

Any tips on cleaning this up?

This stone only arrived two days ago from a seller who reckons it is likely a La Grosse Blanche.

Oh yeah....

The Stirling haul arrived! The unmarked is Sharp Dressed Man.

The scent on the Texas on Fire is intense. Very much reminds me of a smokey Islay whisky.

Planning to be in the States during their summer so I'll grab more there

I'm still kicking myself that I didn't order some Ozark Mountains. But.... I did just place an order for 6 soaps from the Badger Shaving Co (Stirling Spice & SDM, Dr Jon's Anne Bonny, Labelle Tobac Van, Beaver Woodwright Davey Jones, WSP Formula T Barbershop, an Omega 10066 and a few blades). Now let's see how far behind my Mysrol it arrives.

Nice haul, @Korbz

I've got Ozark Mountain. It's okay but nothing worth kicking yourself over.

Since we're quoting movies

Look what I've gone and done;

A 1950's Tanifuji in 6/8, hollow ground and vintage horse hide strop;

Heh, didn't even have to play that clip and I knew... Think you're in trouble, or at least your bank balance is...

Especially because @Sxot doesn't (yet) shave with a str8... [emoji6]

My first Hoshi arrived today.

Gorgeous razor that should be a pleasure to shave with.

 

[Reegs]

These bad boys arrived in the mail today. Thank you @Anthony for the soap and @Mark for the beautiful razor.

The razor is a J.A Henckels Friodur Inox 6/8
