And for this early morning the theme for my shave was 'Doncaster'
Donny the razor - Stainless General
Rovers the blade - Kai Captain
Arndale shopping centre the brush - Razorock 400
River Don soap - Signature Soaps Danum
Back at work here so for this week I have restricted myself to the two recently received Signature Soaps. First up being @BrianH creatively named Danum and so named after my childhood town of Doncaster. Why someone would want to name a soap after a river you can walk on I have no idea.
I have always been a little harsh on Doncaster since I left but to be honest I had a great childhood in the town spending my time either fighting or......fighting. There are actually some very beautiful parts of Doncaster such as Cusworth Park and Hall, Conisbrough Castle and the Arndale shopping centre which looks like a collection of large shoe boxes and shipping containers. Beauty can come in many forms.
I now visit just once a year just to remind myself not to return the next. And fail.
The shave
This is my second time out for the Danum soap and first time out I found it quite a thirsty soap. Nothing has changed and again found myself adding more water than normal. But, it is well worth the effort. As per usual Signature standard the lather is first class. Thick and creamy with that nice sheen one looks for. Superbly smooth to use and with really great residual properties. Stays the distance and ticks all the boxes. Another great soap from that man in Bolton.
The General? Same as every other time and an absolute gem to use with brilliant results. A few Ikon Tech battle scars to work around but nothing brought back to blood again and very happy.
Slap on some Nivea moisturiser and one sterling shave.
Another rare first SOTD for a new week and a great start to the weekend.
Have a lovely one all you people out there and wish you and your families (and pets) the very best of health during these times.
I leave you with some Ladybaby minus Ladybeard. As cheesy as buggery but very seasonal
It was just too tempting to post the incorrect postfixes after the ordinal numbers on the dates
