Result - doesn't get much better than that.
Home alone mimsy shave - the bathroom is mine - all mine I tell you! Antidote to a crap day. I feel much better now - the large whisky beside me is good for the symptoms also. Seems to be cream season in the den - and this is one of my favourites - the scent and performance can't be faulted in my opinion - it dovetails beautifully with the OSP tonic. I'm not sure where the Arran moisturiser came from - other than the obvious answer - I found an unopened box of it during the great tidy up earlier this year - in preparation for the units that now comprise the unified den being installed. Probably from my partner - it must be of some antiquity as the company haven't used the Arran Aromatics name for a while - one wonders how much they paid some black polo neck wearing - pony tail sporting - cocaine addled fool to come up with that great branding leap in the dark - to go from Arran Aromatics to Arran. I'd previously been a bit hesitant to buy their stuff - never sure whether they were selling good products or some vaguely aspirational lifestyle choice. Based on the moisturiser - I stand corrected - excellent for me - very good. Tempted to try their soap - after having read several positive comments from people whose opinion I trust here. Apart from anything else - effortlessly cool packaging - from the minimal cardboard outer to the dish that looks like a pebble. A gift for a sotd pic - I would have thought
@patw - ha ha. Anyway - job done - enjoy the rest of the evening and your shaves - I think I deserve another dram - yours - I.
