From Rene (SSLStudio):

3 Parker razors (71R, 89R, 91R)
100 Derby blades
VGH Aftershave spray

I have to say I'm very pleased with those razor, the quality of those Parkers improved a lot over some older models. They are quite heavy now and they just look beautiful :D So I couldn't resist. The blade exposure looks a bit frightening but it may be just the looks.

Always a pleasure to buy something from Rene :)

Got this one in a lot of straights (in various conditions; all pretty bad :( )

But I cobbled the very nice Robeson blade onto a different set of scales from one of the DOA blades in the same lot, and voila: Frankenblade!

Since I live in a somewhat barren part of the country (when it comes to select tobaccos and shaving gear) I thought I would aquire some when I went to the "Big City".

Two cans of "Brobergs Jubileum" (a mild mixture with Black Cavendish)
One can of Savinelli "Black Cavendish"
One can Rattrays "Black Virginia" (with... brace yourselves.. Black Cavendish!)
One pack of WÖ Larsen "Sweet Aromatic" (need I say? Black Cavendish)
A puck of C&E Sandalwood
And finally a puck of Tabac Original

(Please excuse the poor quality of the pic. I write this on the train home, and the pic was taken with my cellphone camera.)

Yesterday my 24Mbit ADSL line was delivered. I didnt have time to migrate my network.

Today Successfully migrated the Mac to ADSL 24Mbit. Sweeeeet !
Stuff is flying over here....

minimum speed is 12Mbit , I havent tested her out yet how fast I can get .
still very fresh here , my new VOIP nr doesnt work so will have to take care of that later. were not all done yet. this connection is good till 01-01-2010. after that we will see what we do.

That's sweet! (Got my 24Mbit in 2001 ;))
Right now I'm out at our coutryplace and I just got 3.1 Mbit mobile internet! Which essentially means I can leave my wife in the city and work from here! I'm NOT going home tomorrow! I'm staying here with the dogs!

DONT EVEN GET me going on Swedes ! they have broadband preready installed in the Flats in some parts its unreal in Sweden !
I should have moved atleast 3 years ago from my 8Mbit cable connection !
I was paying a 50 € a month for that ! but since the company I work for pays 25€ for internet coverage I kinda never looked at ADSL. but this offer was too good to pass and basically it was time to migrate they can @#@#@%#@@! themselves with the 50 € a month cable. I hope in 2 years fiber optic will be here. my kollega at work will soon get 20Mbit Up /Down !

3Mbit on mobile thats hilarious ! my first connection was 1Mbit down !

Makes me think we over here in Austria live in a developing country as far as quick internet connections are concerned. :mad:
Don't even wanna mention what I'm on (nope, it's not dial up, that far I can say... ;) )

No shave goodies to report, but my sons bought me a new monitor that I just got last night. Samsung 226CW...VERY nice!! From my old 17" CRT to a 22" widescreen flat panel! Quite a jump!! Reviews said it was awesome and so far, I’m delighted! Obligatory shaving content below. :D

Nice one, Michael. I'm hesitationg to make the move to TFT - I have an 19" CRT here, colour-calibrated for working with photos and reviewing DVDs.
Ah well, when it dies on me, I'll make the transition :D

Rene,

Yes it is fast but not Crazy yet, crazy is my colleague at work when his fiber gets launched 20/20 Mbit you could with such a speed easy run your prof. store homepage from home. and offcourse an FTP server.

But for the prices hosting companies ask these days I wouldnt wanna kill your computer by running 24/7/365 power on. no let them take that hit .

I checked my modem data rate and im at 14.5Mbit speed :D I might be able to Tweak it for an extra Mbit not sure.

Michael very nice screen, everyone should be moving into Widescreen its so much better for the eyes. I cant even stand 4:3 TV 's anymore !

im on a Sony CRT 21" here which was the top end SVGA of its time.
I 1600* 1200. for wide screen emulation I can set it to 1400*1050 then its widescreen'ish .. offcourse not as good as the real thing.

have fun with it , dont stay up so late with them movies ! ::
