Yesterday evening's shave (too drink influenced to post last night) with the theme 'Look sharp'
Sharp knife - Stainless Colonial V2
Sharper than the blade - Feather Super Professional
Sharp object - Razorock 400
Sharp dressed man - Tropic Look Sharp
Baby Shark - Profumo De Firenze (Ran out of songs with 'Sharp' in the title by this point. Because I am rubbish)
Mrs Satanfriendly swears by Tropical skin products when not swearing at me. For good reasons of course. 37 years down the line I guess she has some form of prerogative to do so. As a consequence I was lucky enough to be on the receiving end of their products designated for men. Probably the same as the women's line with the word '
For Men' printed on the packaging instead, which will also go some way to explaining why I have a '
Clearblue Pregnancy testing kit for men'.
I digress.......as I always do
So out comes the Razorock 400 brush which doesn't see enough light of the day and deserving of a run out. Squeeze a bit of Tropic Look Sharp in to a bowl, add water and swirl away. Fuck all happening. More water, more swirling and that man Jack Shit comes to mind. Read the tube just in case I have being trying to lather up a bowl of moisturising cream and voila, my answer. It is indeed a shaving medium, but it happens to be one of those brushless creams. I haven't seen one of these since a jar of 'Rituals' which once passed me by. To keep Mrs Happy happy I thought may as well give it a try. Quite oily by nature I see this as being rather like shaving with a pre-oil only; which does work if in a rush. Brush back in cupboard for the next time.
Look sharp? Well I am staring at the working end of a bloody sharp piece of stainless here so that box is well ticked. Meet face and amazingly everything went superbly with two passes and a clean up. Happy bunnyism. Cold water, Witch Hazel, a massage with the Tropic moisturiser and altogether one smashing smooth shave with very acceptable end results. Just a few mishaps along the way
