SOTD: 4th of April to 10th April of 2020


Thanks Tony

It's the Bay Rum and Argan that interests me most. I really like Bay Rum scent, and have thought it might be nice to try to make some myself. There are so many recipes though, and I'm not sure I could source all the ingredients.

I might have a go at mixing some Argan Oil or Glycerine with Boots Bay Rum to see if it helps the scent linger for longer
 
Glad to hear you liked it.
 


Sotd - Tuesday the 7th of April

Prep - facial scrub
razor - ATT Calypso M
blade - Supermax Titanium Plus (4)
brush - Simpsons Chubby 2 - best
soap - Ariana & Evans - St Barts - tallow
post - witch hazel
a/s - A&E - St Barts
balm - none needed
scent - A&E - St Barts edp.

Result? - great - a shave made in a land where they know how to make shaves. The A&E soap base is among the best I have used. Back to shaving myself Monday to Friday - worked well for me last week - discipline - apart from cocktails with my other half and my daily walk - the highlight of my day. Enjoy yours - one and all - cheers - I.
 
7 April 2020 – 10pm – just fancied a shave:
Three days' growth. Another good result with the R89. And a very nice soap – Stirling Soap Co Coconut Lime – my first luxurious soap. The scent is gorgeous and stays with you even after applying the after shave balm. I had a bottle of Autograph at the back of the cupboard for years so finally started using that.
