Now that's an interesting combination, Marco.....MdC and Arlington Not tried that one yet. Brilliant old pic, my friend. It's so good to have you posting more pics again.

The Arlington cologne is marvellous, but lacks a bit of longevity my friend. Martin de Candre need no further presentation, a fantastic all-round winner and a "must have" in my book! Thank you, David! This week I had the chance to prepare a few shots!

6/8 Custom // Manchurian T3 // Arlington // Alt-Innsbruck

​

Undoubtedly a winning combination here, Joe, and that custom surely does look like it means business!

How is the longevity with the Harris Classic, Mark? I love citrus but they usually don't stay around that long, I find.

Unfortunately it doesn't last. If you find a nice citrus that lasts please let me know! I reaily like this for summer, and works well for work, even if it is not long lasting.

Thank you, my friend...it's been a very enjoyable day.

Now, just for you and anyone else who wants to join in:-

God Save the Queen

God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen!

O lord God arise,
Scatter our enemies,
And make them fall!
Confound their knavish tricks,
Confuse their politics,
On you our hopes we fix,
God save the Queen!

Not in this land alone,
But be God's mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world ov'er

From every latent foe,
From the assasins blow,
God save the Queen!
O'er her thine arm extend,
For Britain's sake defend,
Our mother, prince, and friend,
God save the Queen!

Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour,
Long may she reign!
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen!

But stay tuned, I have something special planned for the weekend

Now please don't tell me you are going to try and lather up some port, Soren, or use some as aftershave!

 

[jrabi]

Those Garanti-Solingen straights take a nice edge, Joszef. I have a round pointed one and love it. And a wonderful pic too!

Thank you David! It's a very old barber notch straight from a barber...
This straight was on more rust, but the blade material excellent!

 

[jrabi]

Simply fantastic, Gentlemen! Wow!

Thank you so much Marco!

Cheers
Jozsef

Probably for the best, Keith....unless you want me to ask a Mod to delete your SOTD posts!

Hope you have had a great Jubilee David

Mark, I just got a sample of Rance Le Vainqueur and it's longevity(on me anyway) is exceptional. See:http://www.ausliebezumduft.de/rance-collection-imperiale-le-vainqueur.html

Martin de Candre - Semogue 830 - Red point 917 - Alt Innsbruck

​

Some new combinations happening today with MdC. First Marco with Arlington, now you, Keith with A-I. I haven't tried either because for some strange reason they have never occurred to me. And what a gorgeous pic we have here too. Nice one, my friend!

 

[djh]

That's one classy line up you have there, David, and a great pic to go with it! Are you planning to buy another O&C? I really love that soap.

Thanks David. I was inspired by Marco's theme this week, took some photos on film yesterday, developed and scanned them in the afternoon and hope to share a few more here later on in the week. The soap is indeed very good, but sadly Czech and Speake expect a king's ransom to post a puck of soap to my address...... if I can find some more on e-bay (or somewhere else for that matter) I will probably grab a puck or two and maybe some "88" whilst I'm at it.
