Choice of brush to go with my choice of cream for my first shave to make it on to the SOTD for the week Saturday 18rd April to Friday 24nd April 2020.
I can't be bothered to go on with my intro any further as death appears to be a better option than all this copy, paste and edit palaver so yeh, there was a scent. Extro Arancia. Very orange
Other than that no one ever reads all this rubbish. Not even me.
So just cut the crap Chris and get to the point and then move on to the only bit of your SOTD's of any value, the Japanese metal babes.
The OSP was a bit of a bugger and took a lot of water to make any sense of it. The lather was on the thicker side and the best way I can describe it was 'quite oily'. Tended to clog the brush up more than I am used to and certainly not light and fluffy. Fine to use, but not a soap as we know it Jim. The scent was still there and quite an eye watering menthol hit.
In general though I am not sure the cream is ageing too brilliantly.
The Hone? Last seen on here after deciding to give it a damn good buff and polish and then just staring at it since. Time to unstare at it and give it an outing. A nice move.
Throw a Feather between the plates and this lump of a beast is simply awesome. To look at one wouldn't think it is going to deliver a finely tuned shave, but it does so with finesse and some of that stuff which gives it awesomeness.
Shaved to perfection. Pity my wife decided differently and got so bored with the whole palaver she thought going to bed was more interesting
Have a safe and healthy week ahead all you folk of the forum and I leave you with some of that end event and the only reason you can be arsed with my SOTD's
