Wednesday

Mama Bears Woodland Pear
Beaufort B1
Slim Adjust on 3
Voshkod
Cade Balm
Cella Classica

Found the slim is better with a Voshkod than a Yellow, well at least for me it worked better. Hard to say really as just getting use to the extra weight. Love the Cella, such a clean smell.
 
The Rooney Finest 1/2 was one of the last of it's type - at around £200 very pricy but now a delightful brush to use.

Now I'm of on the motorcycle to the place in the pic. Just down the road.This is the life!

Wednesday

Wilkinson Quattro
BS Maca Root & Vulfix 2190
C&E Nomad EdT

Last shave in Dublin. Water - great, shave- shite.

Really do not see these cartridge things taking off, unless Ryanair end up the only airline in the world.

Dublin? Grand as a grand thing, better than I remembered.

Anyway, must dash, am in Starbucks on Grafton Street and I am missing letching opportunities by writing to you lot!
 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage Marshall Fields badger
1958 Executive/Gillette Stainless Steel (1965 production)
Surrey SS (pre VDH reformulation)
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
Tom Ford 'Azure Lime' EdP

Third very nice shave with this vintage blade.

BBS results,

Martin

Israeli Blade (5)

It's been a while since I used a trumpers shave cream, this one has been sat in a tube for over a year. Great shave 2 pass shacve. The sandalwood shave cream scent isn't as good as I remember, a mixture of a used ashtray and smelly socks, the skin food smells great.
