I met my face in the mirror this early afternoon - I'm newly unemployed - I don't need to get up early - in pretty much the same mood as @donnie_arko - but - like he - my shave was entirely worth the effort - if you can get it together. Four day's growth or thereabouts - no worries - the blade is lasting well - never used a Med Prep before - I'm pleased with it. The Torga boar continues to impress - breaking in a treat - just point it at a triple milled soap - no danger. I only have a couple of regular boars - both Semogue - I predict - this will be the third - it might well end up the perfect blend of backbone and super soft tips - the ends are already splitting up a treat. So - Arran products? - I have difficulty getting over their marketing bullshit - go look at their website - if you doubt me - selling lifestyle choices? - but - it worked well today - smells nice. Worth the money? Not sure. The soap does come in a pebble - which is pretty cool - what can I say? I'm shallow. Enjoy your shaving gentlemen - yours - I.
Happy Anniversary.Today's shave for our 22nd wedding anniversary.
