2 days ago my BEARD TOKEN arrived. you don’t know what a BEARD TOKEN is? me i did not too, before i discovered BT on facebook. here the explanation what it is all about – interesting: In 1705, Emperor Peter I of Russia instituted a beard tax to modernize the society of Russia following European models. Those who paid the tax were required to carry a “beard token”. This was a copper or silver token with a Russian Eagle on one side and on the other, the lower part of a face with nose, mouth, whiskers, and beard. It was inscribed with two phrases: “Money Taken” and the other side was old Cyrillic for the date 1705, but certain folklore says that future versions of the token stated “the beard is a useless burden”. if you are not a fashion beard pussy go and get your BEARDTOKEN! show your passion for beards with a BEARD TOKEN COIN, KEYCHAIN or a T-SHIRT pics | LTG & uj
the blogposts about my birthday presents will not end … the DUCK MACHINIST CAP from the RISING SUN & CO is one of my absolute favorite caps since UWE c/o AMTRAQ gave it to me. it is nearly a bit to big but i love the style the cap fits my head. mostly with the shield fold up – cool! some features: made of 100% american made cotton duck, traditional 6 panel cap with half inch button down headband, 3/8″ double needle chain stitched binding, medium length soft bill with multiple stitch construction, brass metal stamped RISING SUN & CO logo button with black enamel finish. the cap is also available in brown. pics | LTG

KLAUS – long time no see, nice to meet him yesterday morning in his shop. i knew that parts of the actual SS2013 NIGEL CABOURN collection arrived last friday. the next days will be still busy and so i decided to ride my BULLIT to schulstrasse to talk a bit to KLAUS, drink some espresso and take a look at the new NC stuff. damn: so amazing nice this f***ing camo stuff. beside this, the new TAPED CAMERAMAN and AIRCRAFT JACKET and the denim vest are really very well done too. there are some more shirts i will post later when all stuff arrived. my absolute favorites at the moment: the CAMO NOTCH WORK JACKET combined with the CAMO WORK VEST made of camo drill. detailed information later. the stuff will be online @ volls.de in about 14 days, but one camo work jacket and a vest in size 52 are missing … pics | LTG
my mum, dad and my brother’s family gave me this japanese shaving razor as a present to my birthday in january. since years i shave my beard with a knife, but the one i used was a soft and very light version from TONDEO – check my post about shaving some weeks ago. my new knife is a shaving razor with changeable blades, too, but much heavier and bigger in comparison to the TONDEO COMFORT CUT. really similar to a traditional shaving razor. it is a FEATHER SHAVING RAZOR ARTIST CLUB DX knife, made in japan, and it is offered by NASSRASUR.com . it works so perfect. much better and less difficult in use than the light TONDEO razor. no cuts, no hurts, just smooth in use and easy to handle. i think after using this knife a while i will try someday a classic one which has no changeable blades – i am sure i will do! pics | LTG
