As if they never learnt from their original misadventure the Mills family found themselves kidnapped once again. And neither did I learn in this case.

The Bolton twist - Stainless Colonial General
The Crumpsall crumple - Titan Mild
The St Annes scrunch - Alpha Wickhams Artic
The Ramsbottom rumple - MDC Fougere
The Waddicar wad - Goutal Monsieur

Of course all these shaving implements were named after techniques used in Harrigammi and were used in the making of this particular shave. Which also included sellotape.

Stainless Colonial General


And a very happy birthday to you

Face lather
Merkur 37C

Many thanks to @Olie29 for the soap sample, out of the package it’s wow!! An absolute beauty of a scent, it’s a bit more subtle when lathered but it’s a beaut. Very very slick even in between passes after a splash.
My main concern is this Lord Platinum blade, it felt tuggy and I’ve a couple of weepers that I wouldn’t normally get.
Mrs Seaman has informed me that I’m feeling very smooth but I’m still not sure this blade is a performer.
Post shave excellent with A&E Amber Rose Skinfood.

Stay safe gentlemen

Glad you enjoyed it...it’s a beautiful scent but as you say not the strongest, I tried the splash and balm last week following the soap and they weren’t too strong either I could still smell it on myself a few hours later but very subtle...they look to do a parfum or similar but it’s not available here or not as yet, maybe that has more longevity

I’d certainly buy the soap and splash Jay and as for an EdP.........here’s my money just take it.

love Ballard's Atrocity Exhibition in the background!

It really is that good isn’t it..I thought you would like it being that you quite like Rose the combination is fantastic ! I did ask Heather and she said it’s a seasonal and once sold out it will return next year but didn’t ask about the EDP maybe I will do that
 
A fine album, Rob. Nice and easy intro to his stuff, instead of jumping straight into Music in Twelve Parts, or Einstein on the Beach. Unless you really want to...

Hi Stephen.
I’ve only dabbled with his work over the years. This album is great for tuning out. Had a pretty rough week last week and this was the perfect pill.
I’ll check out the other pieces you mentioned, thank you. (y)

My pleasure, Rob. They’re much more reductive and repetitive than Glassworks. If I had them as LPs, I’d be constantly demanding a refund; convinced that the needle’s getting stuck :)

Hi Garry just had a reply from Heather on messenger to say the No1 EDP is a seasonal release and therefore won’t be certified.. I have asked if there is anyway to order it to the UK or if her shipping methods prevent this as I would quite like to order it if possible. Will update once I get a reply for anybody that’s interested
