Music: - Zero Seven, when it falls



Hot towl
Gillette Super Speed
Gillette 7 O' Clock Double edged razor blades (yellow box)
Pure Badger Shaving Brush
Old Spice Shaving cream (fresh limes)
Alum block
Witch hazel
Trumpers skin food (Limes)
Old Spice aftershave (fresh limes)

Simple two pass (WTG & XTG) with some light touch ups on my chin and neck.

I like the smell of the fresh limes it wakes me up. That and a soon as the aftershave goes on that really wakes me up! :lol:

Time to get dressed and have breakfast before I start the late shift at work today, still only three days and a long weekend again.

Not the smoothest of shaves today and I'm not sure why. Only changed the soap and brush from yesterday's shave. The brush felt a bit *skritchy* on the face but the lather seemed fine, maybe I'll give a go at bowl lathering it next time I use the Cade.

Excellent shave, simply fabulous, very close and comfortable. The lather that MdC produces is excellent under every point, as always. Fabulous glide, protection and moisturising properties. Simply perfect.

Quelle coincidence. Tell you what Mikael, I'll match your Berg, and raise you a Törnblom:

E A Berg (Eskilstuna) Shark Special (the X will get its go tomorrow); Kent BK4; Taylor's sandalwood cream; witch hazel; Acqua di Parma.

The picture at the back is a little nod to Poly Styrene, whose death was announced earlier today. :cry:
 
Tuesday evening

Merkur 34C & Wilkinson (#1)
Simpson 57 & D.R. Harris Marlborough shave stick
Penhaligons Opus 1870 after shave balm
Penhaligons Opus 1870 Eau de Toilette

Went out for a couple of beers, no time before going out to take a shot, no time now either as I'm too tired...

Observation of the day:* I like the way Andy is calling Mr. "very, very clean" 's shots and raising the stakes even further.










*new exclusive feature in my TSR SOTDs.

SWMBA told me this news at breakfast in a local caff after I was done with a medical appointment ... still not really absorbed it.
