The fathers day shave with the theme '36 years of misery'

Miserable bastard - Me

Mr Grumpy woke up for work at 0400 and decided to have a shave to start the day. 6 hours later he went back to bed due to bloody inconvenient and unsociable hours in the name of employment. Even Mr Happy would feel dejected.

Fortunately it was one marvellous happy shave and it is a time to be happy after all. A time to remember my own dad while being showered with gifts by a pretty damn fine son. And I do have a bag of Galaxy Minstrels to get through later. The world may look better than it did at 4am.

Have a great Father's day you dads among us and may everyone else have a wonderful day anyway.

And we all need a good reason to shave. So in my case I shall make it Band Maid this morning to bring a smile to the world.




And I love you all


On an end note it appears the elastic on my underpants has stopped being elastic anymore

Father’s Day

SMV Novella Tabacco Toscana
RazoRock BC Silvertip synth 24mm
Face lather
Merkur 37C
Gillette London Bridge (1)
Thayer’s Rose Petal and Aloe Vera
Fine Fresh Vetiver after shave
Terre D’Hermes Eau Intense Vetivér

Bit of a rush today; so no imagery (meeting the junior Scotshaves for brunch). The 37C allowed for a quick whip round the chops. Job done. It does lack the assertiveness of Lo Storto and (especially) the RazoRock ‘German 37’; but for speed without impunity it does fine. I fear it may be eclipsed by the other ones and, as a result, may be offered on BST.

Anyway, have a great one, everybody.

Stay safe, keep smiling

A LEA shave today, and I decided to use my Gillette Super Speed 1953 -Y3 as it’s been a long time since I used it. I’ve had some variation on the quality of the shaves from it, sometimes they’ve been a little rough, but not today. It was excellent. With the sharp Feather blade, it was smooth and efficient. No problems getting BBS.

The LEA cream in that HUGE tube smells like their balm and shave stick, more of an aqua cologne scent rather than their Classic which contains oak-moss, which is good but not as pleasant to my nose. Again, I’ve had some hits and misses with the cream, but this time I didn’t skimp on the size of my dollop and doubled the usual amount. That did the trick! In the end I just used the balm and didn’t reach for the splash.

Stay safe and enjoy your shaves!
