Good morning all!
Let's ease into this Thursday morning with a track from the early 80's. That was a magical time to me. Disco was in its last throes and pop music hadn't gone to the full-on synth wash it would develop into as the decade progressed. Here's one from that time that has been a favorite of mine to this day. The song is "Hearts" by Marty Balin. Hope you enjoy.
Great shave today! Needed an "Old Spice" fix so I went with the Barrister's Reserve "Spice". Went a little off script in the finish though. Went to grab the bottle of Stirling Spice and saw the bottle of Fine's "American Blend" EdT and grabbed it instead. It actually pairs quite well with the (Indian) Old Spice splash.
Hope you have a great day!

Hey Mark. Ever check out Russian watches. 
They quirky and cheap. Like me

I have. Don't have any currently but there are several Soviet Era watches that I really like and would love to pick up. Someday. LOL!
That's a nice one! What is it?
Not vintage. Vostok or their spelling Bostoc
The vintage ones are cool but can be pricey.
The 24 hr dial messes people up. One of the reasons I like it.

Very cool!
It’s something that we all have mutual likes/interest that all seem woven together.

Two great Bowie selections! I had Loving The Aliens on a cassette in college, and primarily know Night Flights from the Walker Brothers original. I'm a big Scott Walker fan. Only years later did I come across the Bowie cover. I like them both!

I too had Loving The Alien on cassette back in the day. Listening to "Black Tie White Noise" (the album the other song is from) always makes me think of my Navy days and being stationed in Orlando where I went for technical training after boot camp.
Sadowsky!!! NICE!!!
The builder of the basses at the beginning of my journal were made by Anthony Valenti who worked at Roger's shop. I'd like to get a Modern 5 someday. I'm really liking the Satin Series Roger has now.

Awesome! I spent about a year in Milan on a job assignment in 2010-11. This reminds me of a small cafe/restaurant (Il Kaimano) in the Brera district by the esteemed art school. It was pedestrian only, cobblestones, you get the idea. Every weekend there was a guy who played guitar on the streets for tips. Such a beautiful feeling. Il dolce far niente! Ciao!
