Still no shave of the day 16th December

…but the beard have gotten long enough that I need to put conditioner in it when I shower in the morning.

I spy, with my little eye…

…a shaving brush in the wild – at Europris no less. While TGR is, in my opinion, the fun kind of dollar store, Europris is more of a.. how to put.. Norwegian version of the American chain Big Lots.

Quality brush they claim.. so much quality they couldn’t even get the print centred. Even so, this along with the set spotted at TGR earlier this week, makes me wonder if affordable traditional wetshaving for the masses are coming to Norway – or it might just be a blip on the radar.

No shave of the day 14th December

As stated on Monday, I’m currently an unshaven mess… I had forgotten how itchy a full beard can be when it grows in.

Spotted while out and about

Flying Tiger Copenhagen, formerly known as TGR, is an odd shop… imagine if a knick-knack store merged with a dollar store (or a pound store, or a 10kr store, or whatever your local equivalent is). Craft supplies, toys, kitchen gear… and today, this:

Granted, the finish on the wood ain’t great, the knot is probably a shedding Chinese boar, the cup is just plastic and the head on the razor is thin castmetal… but for 80 NOK (9.50 US $ / 7.50 £ / 9.00 €) I am quite tempted to pick it up just for fun.

A week of no shaves

Due to an injury, I’ve not shaven for a week… and I likely won’t shave until the new year roll around. It’s been about a decade since I last grew a full beard, so I’m kind of curious to see just how grey it has gotten…

Lack of shave of the day 9th December

For the same reason as Monday and Wednesday; no shave today :/

A little too close of a shave

I would like to think that my lips, nose and eyes should not be gone when I’m done shaving…

Lacking shave of the day 7th December

For the same reason as Monday; no shave today :/

Polo and shaving, an old ad

So… did he make his own shaving brush knots from the horse’s hair?

Lacking shave of the day 5th December

For good reasons, no shave today.
