I must admit, I am addicted to shave porn. There I said it!

A photographer, I'm not. but some of these little works of art just sream to be photgraphed in their natural environment.

 

rofl I have to take it slow and easy with some of the morning music.

"old Charlie stole the handle
and the train won't stop going
no way to slow down"

 

I have a request.

Bugle in the Jungle. :rofl

Still don't quite have this W&B where I want it. I might have to take it back down to 1K grit paper and work my way back up.

I do kinda like this Clubman classic scent, tho...

 

Glad you had a great shave.

Sitting on a park bench --
eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose --
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun --
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck --
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.

Sun streaking cold --
an old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
the only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,
as he bends to pick a dog-end --
he goes down to the bog
and warms his feet.

Feeling alone --
the army's up the rode
salvation à la mode and
a cup of tea.
Aqualung my friend --
don't start away uneasy
you poor old sod, you see, it's only me.
Do you still remember
December's foggy freeze --
when the ice that
clings on to your beard is
screaming agony.
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
with deep-sea-diver sounds,
and the flowers bloom like
madness in the spring.

 

So where's the Crown Royal to go with the shave fit for a king?
