Wk 52 2. Sun.JPG
2 Passes and a little touch up on a couple of problem areas for a pretty easy BBS finish.
This little, very well presented shavette is becoming a favourite, so easy to use.
The Blade went off towards the end, 4 shaves from a half blade is brilliant even though they are mainly 2 pass shaves.
The little Yaqi Brush works well with any soap i have and the OSP needs very little coaxing into a lovely slick wonderfully scented lather, i seem to be face lathering more these days.
A Nice post shave finishing with the OSP matching splash, there maybe 1 more application in the Barts R&S lotion.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

Pre - Shower / Face wash
Soap - Tabac
Brush - Razorock Bruce
Razor - ESC Outlaw
Blade - Wilkinson (2)
Post - Old Spice AS followed with Moisturiser

I wanted a no fuss shave this morning. Time was tight, but not tight enough to rush. I decided to use Tabac, I'd been trying to get through my TOBS Sandalwood soap on the weekends. A few questionable lathers made me go for Tabac with generates a great lather at the sight of a brush. Almost a two pass shave this morning plus a few touch up areas. Maybe the outlaw razor is starting to live up to its reputation. Although, I reckon I could've got just a good result with my other usual razors, 34G or R89.

A fine choice, Rob. I've recently acquired a bass in the hope of trying to learn it. ‘Age of Consent' has a fine riff. Hooky is up there with Mick Karn, Jaco Pastorius et al in some of the finest bass players to hit this planet.

Hooky is definitely unique. I did meet him once and he was a... well I won't swear but safe to say it didn't go well. Doesn't make any difference to his bass playing though.

Not the nicest of Shaves, because of goings on in the household I have not shaved since Thursday. Maybe should have used a fresh blade as though I came through the Shave unscathed, I got a significant amount of unpleasant skin irritation.

Despite SWMBO breaking her kneecap this week, we managed to get our FirstCovid jab using loaned Wheelchair and sons muscle. Very surprised that Mary is being seen by consultant on Monday, just hope that the taken scan does not indicate that an op is required.

R. - meeting your heroes/heroines is a high risk strategy - two of my favourite authors - turned out to be lovely - on the other hand - a well known Scottish comedian - was about as ignorant a person as I have ever met - given the fact he had consented to be photographed by me. I shall not, will not and will never forget meeting Honour Blackman - ooft - charm on a stick. Her voice. Heroes are probably best postmortem - Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia. I.

I must admit Hooky is the only "Hero" I've met who was an arse.
I've met a few famous people and they've all been nice. I nearly passed out when I met Johnny Marr, seriously. A total gent! Love him!....but I digress. :p

You have to name and shame the comedian you met.
