So here I am sitting here with the wife, She's trawling the shoe shops *sigh* whilst I take photo's of my recent buys and shoving tubs of shaving soaps at her face lol.
When I get out to the shops again I am going to buy a bottle of Brute from Wilkos's just to see how close the smell matches The End Splash that I have brought to go with the shaving soap. if it's the same I will cry because the splash would have been 3 times the price.
The Atomic age bay rum smells simply divine and kind of reminds me of old fashioned Aniseed twist sweets, I really wish they did a splash to pair with it.
I tried out the Ariana & Evans Barbiere Sofisticato Shaving Soap & Aftershave this afternoon and I found the smell kind of woody and a much better smell once it was on my skin, I am not too sure of it when I smell it on the tub. Needless to say I smell fantastic and if the wife plays her cards right tonight, I will bring her new year in with a 30 second earth shattering display of my manliness.
The Poraso balm needs no introduction as I am more than sure everyone has tried it at some point, I ran out so it came just in time for the next time I need it.
Lastly the sonic bath that I had read in the forum as a must buy, this is especially for you @Mike Smart . when I threw in my R89 and R41 to wash, I turned it on and just looked at the buzzing machine wondering have I just blew my money on something that just buzzed because I was expecting tiny bubbles to be bursting like a mini jacuzzi lol. I was not convinced it would do no more than sitting my razors in a Tupperware tub for 5 mins and just rinsing them afterwards but boy was I wrong. Whatever it was doing it was doing blinking well indeed as my razors sparkled and gleamed like a Christmas star, I thought the things were pretty clean before but buy those thing shone. So you are going to love yours Mike. .
I then proceeded to raid the wife's jewellery box and cleaned everything to her delight. ( Gotta prep for later ).
Anyways that is enough rambling from me.
I would like to wish you all a VERY VERY HAPPY New Year and may it be filled with glorious shaving buys and happy memories along with good health.
Mark, Wifey and my family.
Ps
I am after a Gillette S2 dated Razor if you have one for sale.
