Great piece of music. I think Sting is one of the top-20 greatest song writers in music that I've ever heard. People really haven't grasped that Sting has a large number of underestimated music tracks in his albums. Aside from the music from his early days with The Police, Sting's work in the 1990's just doesn't get the credit it deserves. Go ahead and pop in Sting's greatest hits and take a listen to all of the tracks, most of which never got radio air play, and I challenge you to even think about skipping any track.

Practically all of his music is enjoyable and soul touching. Back years ago in the late 90's when I was young, I loved music variety and my jobs were temporary and I was shuffled around to different locations. I carried minidiscs with my and small desk speakers. I played all kinds of music. The Sting minidisc mix I played was always getting people to space out at their desks and I could tell the music was reaching into people. IMO, Sting isn't given nearly the credit for his artistic library that he deserves. It's not simple rock or pop, etc. The lyrics have meaning. The melodies are mesmerizing and stirring. I kind of wished for years that Sting and Sade could have collaborated together because I think they would have made some astounding tracks mixing their song writing and melodies.

 

I couldn't agree more.

 

fine set up and pic Steve..

 

Well said, Tim.

SUNDAY'S SHAVE​

Perfumed by:
Douglas Smythe


Shampoo - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "The Beach"

Razor - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Double Open Comb Ascension (316L Stainless Steel Adjustable)
Blade - *5th Shave
Shave Brush - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - The Solar Flare
Shave Soap - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "The Beach"
Deodorant - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "The Beach"
Aftershave/Cologne - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "The Beach"
Post-Shave Balm - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "Mysterium Serum"
Fragrance - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "The Beach" EDP

***EDIT - 2 pass + clean up. BBS. Got a weeper that clotted immediately, so I don't count that. The shave came out perfect and my skin is very well protected and moisturized by this set. The scent is very original and it does remind me of the beach. It smells great for summer. It's got a marine salty smell with a hint of ice cream sweetness and an ozonic effect. Really enjoyed this set today. The PAA DOC Stainless Steel razor is really underrated IMO. I really like shaving with it and the results usually come out fantastic.

Today trip to the market: there was no traffic on the streets. Curious with this sun...

There was the possibility of reaping beautiful free-hand razors for only 40 €!
And there was still half a good blade: even I noticed it!
And then an OC Italica or something...
But something for me... not really?
Good thing I had already shaven!

I'm more and more perplexed about the blade: it looks 'rough', but it's not and, all things being equal, shaves better than the beloved SOC.

Now enjoy this beautiful picture!
