Today -

prep - facial scrub
razor - ATT Calypso - R plate
blade - Med Prep (2)
brush - Vie-Long anniversary two-band (the most beautiful knot I own - it's a work of art)
soap - PAA - CaD - vegan
post - witch hazel
a/s - 4711 (I'm aff the gear - honestly)
balm - Gomez Barberia
scent - Gotas Frescas cologne.

All good - barbershop is one of my favourite scent classes - but such a difficult thing to define? For me - a light, bright cologne sort of thing - an antidote - to the fact, that in Scotland it is completely dark between - oh - November and March. The scent is so hard to define - you get myriad variations - I get shaved in Istanbul whenever I go there - there, it smells of lemon - Arko and then lemon cologne - I quite liked the fact you are served a tiny cup of coffee while you are waiting. I have the Stirling Barbershop - but it smells entirely different to me - nice soap base granted. The CaD - is my current favourite - dovetails a treat with the 4711 - Gotas Frescas to finish - Spanish - the name means - fresh drops - very good - if you can find it.

Yours all - have entirely great shaves - one and all - I.

p.s - thank you - all who responded to my last post - be that - in public or by private message. I appreciate it - social media doesn't need to be a nasty thing - we have a nice civilised corner of the t'interweb?

@Blademonkey - picture for you.

I will be trying the same razor tomorrow after work for the very first time ever using anything like this. It's all thanks to a very generous @pjgh . I don't want to shave before work with it as I doubt I will have enough shirts to mop up the blood lmao.
Love your photo and spooky you showing it the very day I received it in the post.

Honestly it's a brilliant razor to use. Hold the flat top flap nearly flat to your face and let it do its thing.
The audio feedback is phenomenal, a very close finish even after one pass and I find my stubble takes longer than a day to grow back. The blades last ages too, 10 shaves minimum.
Enjoy it.

I did try to bring the old SOTD calender back to life some years back but rather surprised by the lack of interest at the time.

It is something I may revisit when I semi-retire/retire later in the year and I have more time to give it a better push and attention.

But yeh, you are correct there some amazing photos which put the 'sexy' in to shaving.
